Question

In one of our components ported from Java to C#, we used FileInfo as an equivalent for Java’s File class.

Now we’re working towards making that class library available to Metro applications and we have to pass the certification obviously.

What’s a good replacement for FileInfo in .NET Framework 4.5 core profile?

Answer 1

The StorageFile Class in the Windows.Storage Namespace.

StorageFile class

Represents a file. Provides information about the file and its content, and ways to manipulate them.

Example:

var file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(path);
