Readme - Code Samples for Chapter 18, Files and Streams

Files and Streams not only covers reading and writing from the file system with new stream APIs that allow using the Span type but also covers the new .NET JSON serializer with classes in the System.Text.Json namespace.

This chapter contains the following code samples:

  • FilesAndFolders (using DriveInfo, Path)

  • Working with Files and Folders (accessing files and directories using File, Directory, and Path)

  • Stream Samples (FileStream, StreamReader, StreamWriter, Encoding)

  • Reader Writer Samples (reading and writing binary and text files)

  • Compress File Sample (compressing and uncompressing using DeflateStream, ZipArchive, and BrotliStream)

  • File Monitor (monitoring file changes with FileSystemWatcher)

  • JsonSample (JSON serialization, reader, writer, DOM access)

  • WindowsAppEditor (an editor using WinUI)

Updates with C# 10 and .NET 6

.NET 6 contains a new API for writing JSON via DOM. See the updated sample code JSON.

Also see Updates with C# 10

WinUI

The WindowsAppEditor sample needs to have WinUI installed. See WinUI for information on installing and using the WinUI samples.

The sample code uses a picker which currently (Project Reunion 0.5.7) needs to set the active window. See the InitializeActiveWindow method in MainWindow.xaml.cs. This will change with a future version and will be updated here.
