More robust file system in .net

Let me rephrase. My example was probably not good. An error may occur when deleting a directory. The file has a set of readonly attributes, the directory is opened by Windows Explorer. I think they can all be handled - however I don't want to do this on my own - is there a wrapper that takes care of this with a simple api?

I found that the file system operations in System.IO are inadequate. For example, if a file is opened in a text editor, the file cannot be saved.

I was wondering if there is a more powerful file system implementation for .net?

what text editor? How do you open a file for writing? I am writing to a log file all the time and am not having this problem.



It seems a bit rash to ditch System.IO for this reason.

It doesn't matter what you use, you cannot write a file that is locked.



This is not a limitation of the .NET platform, this is how the file system works.

Almost all System.IO calls are only wrappers for kernel32.dll. Forwarded jumps are similar to enums from pinvoked kernel32, so:

System.IO.File.Create(@"C:\test.txt",1024,FileOptions.Asynchronous)

What FileStream uses is uses kernel32 WriteFile
