Question

I found I could get a file by:

var files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("Some Directory");

The file is one contained within this collection;

However is there a method to get a single file by passing the file path tothis method?

Answer 1

There are alot of ways to directly access a file by path. Here are a few:

        string path = // path string here

        File.ReadAllText(path);

        File.OpenRead(path);

        File.OpenWrite(path);

Essentially everything the ‘File’ class does is related to a single file. Its a static class in the System.IO namespace.
