MemoryMappedFile.cs
Source:
MemoryMappedFile.cs

Creates a memory-mapped file that has the specified capacity in system memory.

public:
 static System::IO::MemoryMappedFiles::MemoryMappedFile ^ CreateNew(System::String ^ mapName, long capacity);
public static System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles.MemoryMappedFile CreateNew (string? mapName, long capacity);
public static System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles.MemoryMappedFile CreateNew (string mapName, long capacity);
static member CreateNew : string * int64 -> System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles.MemoryMappedFile
Public Shared Function CreateNew (mapName As String, capacity As Long) As MemoryMappedFile

Parameters

mapName
String

A name to assign to the memory-mapped file, or null for a MemoryMappedFile that you do not intend to share across processes.

capacity
Int64

The maximum size, in bytes, to allocate to the memory-mapped file.

Returns

A memory-mapped file that has the specified name and capacity.

Exceptions

mapName is an empty string.

capacity is less than or equal to zero.

.NET Core and .NET 5+ only: Calls to the CreateNew method with a named memory mapped file (that is, a non-null mapName) are supported on Windows operating systems only.

Examples

The following example is composed of three separate processes (console applications) that write Boolean values to a memory-mapped file. The following sequence of actions occur:

  1. Process A creates the memory-mapped file and writes a value to it.

  2. Process B opens the memory-mapped file and writes a value to it.

  3. Process C opens the memory-mapped file and writes a value to it.

  4. Process A reads and displays the values from the memory-mapped file.

  5. After Process A is finished with the memory-mapped file, the file is immediately reclaimed by garbage collection.

To run this example, do the following:

  1. Compile the applications and open three Command windows.

  2. In the first Command window, run Process A.

  3. In the second Command window, run Process B.

  4. Return to Process A and press ENTER.

  5. In the third Command window, run Process C.

  6. Return to Process A and press ENTER.

The output of Process A is as follows:

Start Process B and press ENTER to continue.
Start Process C and press ENTER to continue.
Process A says: True
Process B says: False
Process C says: True
