Examples
//Create a built-in or custom VFS provider 
var memoryProvider = new MemoryFileSystemProvider()
//Save the root path
var memoryProviderRootPath = memoryProvider.GetRootVDirectoryInfo().FullName;
//Create a path to the new 'myFile.txt' file.
var myFileTxtPath = Path.Combine(memoryProviderRootPath, "myFile.txt");
//Create 'myFile.txt' file and open it for writing
using (var currentTxtFile = new VFileInfo(myFileTxtPath).CreateText())
{
    //Write a line to the file.
    currentTxtFile.WriteLine("My content");
}

Methods

Name Description
AppendText()

Method returns an instance of the StreamWriter for the file.
CopyTo(String)

Method copies the file to the location denoted by the destFileName.
CopyTo(String, Boolean)

Method copies the file to the location denoted by the destFileName.
Create()

Method returns read/write instance of the VFileStream for the file. A caller must dispose the returned stream to ensure that the data written to the stream are persisted.
CreateText()

Method returns StreamWriter for the file. A caller must dispose the returned StreamWriter to ensure that the data written to the StreamWriter are persisted.
Delete()

Method deletes the file.
MoveTo(String)

Method moves the file to the location denoted by the destFileName.
Open(FileMode)

Method returns an instance of the VFileStream for the file and required mode. A caller must dispose the returned stream.
Open(FileMode, FileAccess)

Method returns an instance of the VFileStream for the file, required mode and requested access. A caller must dispose the returned stream.
Open(FileMode, FileAccess, FileShare)

Method returns an instance of the VFileStream for the file, required mode and requested access. A caller must dispose the returned stream.
OpenRead()

Method returns an instance of the read-only VFileStream. A caller must dispose the returned stream. Calling the method is equivalent to calling the method Open(FileMode, FileAccess) with arguments Open(FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read).
OpenText()

Method returns an instance of the StreamReader for the file. A caller must dispose the returned StreamWriter.
OpenWrite()

Method returns an instance of the write-only VFileStream for the file. A caller must dispose the returned stream. Calling the method is equivalent to calling the method Open(FileMode, FileAccess) with arguments Open(FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write).
Refresh()

Method tries to refresh values of properties in this instance. Inherited from VFileSystemInfo.
Replace(String, String)

Method copies content of the file to the destinationFileName and deletes this file. In other words, content of the destinationFileName is replaced by the content of this file. When the destinationBackupFileName is not null then the original (to be replaced) content of the destinationFileName is stored in the destinationBackupFileName.
Replace(String, String, Boolean)

Method copies content of the file to the destinationFileName and deletes this file. In other words, content of the destinationFileName is replaced by the content of this file. When the destinationBackupFileName is not null then the original (to be replaced) content of the destinationFileName is stored in the destinationBackupFileName.
ToString()

Method returns the full path of the directory or file. Inherited from VFileSystemInfo.
