os.CreateDirectory(<dirname>); //
//List of Directory Name
foreach (object dir in os.GetDirectoryNames())
{
MessageBox.Show(dir.ToString());
}
Screen:
// Delete Directory
os.DeleteDirectory(txtdirname.Text);
//Check Directory is exists
if (os.DirectoryExists(txtdirname.Text) == true)
{
MessageBox.Show("Hi directory avl");
}
//Create File
IsolatedStorageFile os = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
StreamWriter osw=new StreamWriter(new
IsolatedStorageFileStream("js.txt",FileMode.CreateNew,os);
//create File and Save data
IsolatedStorageFile os = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
StreamWriter osw=new StreamWriter(new
IsolatedStorageFileStream("js1.txt",FileMode.Create,os));
osw.Write("hi welcome");
osw.Flush();
osw.Close();
//Replace File :
IsolatedStorageFile os = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
StreamWriter osw = new StreamWriter(os.OpenFile("js1.txt",
FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Write));
osw.Write("hi welcome");
osw.Flush();
osw.Close();
//Read Data:
IsolatedStorageFile os = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
StreamReader osr = new StreamReader(os.OpenFile("js1.txt", FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read));
txtdirname.Text = osr.ReadToEnd();
osr.Close();
