ABSTRACT
In Depth The .NET Framework Class Library provides two namespaces dedicated to file and stream I/O: System: :IO for managing files, directories, and binary and text streams, and System: :IO::IsolatedStorage for managing storage isolated by a particular user, application domain, or assembly. In this chapter, you will learn how to work with .NET I/O, including creating, copying, reading and writing files and directories, storing and retrieving data from binary and text streams, detecting file system changes, implementing asynchronous I/O, and managing isolated storage.
