Has the Fso been broken apart?

[ousoonerjoe]

In VB6, the FileSystemObject ('FSO') was the log writer's best friend. Could check the directory existence, file existence, and initialize your TextStreams from it. Does the FSO as I know it, no longer exist? Is this something that I would have to put back together in a class of my own making to get that same functionality I use to have from a Single object? I've dug through some books, ran across Google a few times, and unless I'm missing something, I don't see it, or anything like it, anywhere.

Is there an FSO equivalent in VB.Net 2005?

The System.IO namespace has what you are looking for, and probably much more.

yeah, I'm working with that now. Basically re-creating the wrapper of the FSO. The System.IO has a couple of places where the data types don't match and you'd think they would. for example, File.OpenWrite does not return a StreamWriter object, it returns the FileStream object, where as the File.AppendText does return a StreamWriter object. Not a big deal, just minor annoyances that a simple class can clean up.

You can use
System.IO.File.CreateText()
System.IO.File.OpenText()


Sweep
...if it works, you know the rest..
