Examples
The following example accesses a file for writing. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the IsolatedStorageFile class.
' Write to an existing file: MyApp1\SubDir1\MyApp1A.txt
' Determine if the file exists before writing to it.
Dim filePath As String = Path.Combine(subdirectory1, "MyApp1A.txt")
If store.FileExists(filePath) Then
Try
Using sw As StreamWriter = _
New StreamWriter(store.OpenFile(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write))
sw.WriteLine("To do list:")
sw.WriteLine("1. Buy supplies.")
End Using
Catch ex As IsolatedStorageException
sb.AppendLine(ex.Message)
End Try
Else
sb.AppendLine((filePath + "does not exist"))
End If
// Write to an existing file: MyApp1\SubDir1\MyApp1A.txt
// Determine if the file exists before writing to it.
string filePath = Path.Combine(subdirectory1, "MyApp1A.txt");
if (store.FileExists(filePath))
{
try
{
using (StreamWriter sw =
new StreamWriter(store.OpenFile(filePath,
FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write)))
{
sw.WriteLine("To do list:");
sw.WriteLine("1. Buy supplies.");
}
}
catch (IsolatedStorageException ex)
{
sb.AppendLine(ex.Message);
