Source:: File.cs

Opens a FileStream on the specified path, having the specified mode with read, write, or read/write access and the specified sharing option.

public:
 static System::IO::FileStream ^ Open(System::String ^ path, System::IO::FileMode mode, System::IO::FileAccess access, System::IO::FileShare share);

public static System.IO.FileStream Open(string path, System.IO.FileMode mode, System.IO.FileAccess access, System.IO.FileShare share);

static member Open : string * System.IO.FileMode * System.IO.FileAccess * System.IO.FileShare -> System.IO.FileStream

Public Shared Function Open (path As String, mode As FileMode, access As FileAccess, share As FileShare) As FileStream

Parameters

mode: FileMode

A FileMode value that specifies whether a file is created if one does not exist, and determines whether the contents of existing files are retained or overwritten.

access: FileAccess

A FileAccess value that specifies the operations that can be performed on the file.

share: FileShare

A FileShare value specifying the type of access other threads have to the file.

Returns

A FileStream on the specified path, having the specified mode with read, write, or read/write access and the specified sharing option.

Exceptions

.NET Framework and .NET Core versions older than 2.1: path is a zero-length string, contains only white space, or contains one or more invalid characters. You can query for invalid characters by using the GetInvalidPathChars() method.

-or-

access specified Read and mode specified Create, CreateNew, Truncate, or Append.

The specified path, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length.

The specified path is invalid, (for example, it is on an unmapped drive).

An I/O error occurred while opening the file.

path specified a file that is read-only and access is not Read.

-or-

path specified a directory.

-or-

The caller does not have the required permission.

-or-

mode is Create and the specified file is a hidden file.

mode, access, or share specified an invalid value.

The file specified in path was not found.

path is in an invalid format.

Examples

The following example opens a file with read-only access and with file sharing disallowed.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

class Test
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt";

        // Create the file if it does not exist.
        if (!File.Exists(path))
        {
            // Create the file.
            using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path))
            {
                Byte[] info = new UTF8Encoding(true).GetBytes("This is some text in the file.");

                // Add some information to the file.
                fs.Write(info, 0, info.Length);
            }
        }

        // Open the stream and read it back.

Remarks

The path parameter is permitted to specify relative or absolute path information. Relative path information is interpreted as relative to the current working directory. To obtain the current working directory, see GetCurrentDirectory.
