Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to open a file using the SafeFileHandle class and the unmanaged CreateFile function.

using System;
using Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.ComponentModel;

class SafeHandlesExample
{
    static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            UnmanagedFileLoader loader = new UnmanagedFileLoader("example.xml");
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e);
        }
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

    // see the unmanaged MSDN reference library.

    static extern SafeFileHandle CreateFile(string lpFileName, uint dwDesiredAccess,
      uint dwShareMode, IntPtr lpSecurityAttributes, uint dwCreationDisposition,

        // Try to open the file.
        handleValue = CreateFile(path, GENERIC_WRITE, 0, IntPtr.Zero, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, IntPtr.Zero);

        // If the handle is invalid,
        // get the last Win32 error
        // and throw a Win32Exception.

Remarks

This class is derived from SafeHandleZeroOrMinusOneIsInvalid. A value of 0 or -1 is an invalid file handle.

Important

This type implements the IDisposable interface. When you have finished using the type, you should dispose of it either directly or indirectly. To dispose of the type directly, call its Dispose method in a try/catch block. To dispose of it indirectly, use a language construct such as using (in C#) or Using (in Visual Basic). For more information, see the "Using an Object that Implements IDisposable" section in the IDisposable interface topic.
