IO.File.AppendAllText(Path, Contents)
IO.File.CreateText(Path)

Explanation: Gets values of a file's Creation time, which the time a file is created and its date for utc ones. And gets its last editing time or creation time or when its last opened.

Example:

Code:

IO.File.GetCreationTime("C:\file.exe")
IO.File.GetCreationTimeUtc("C:\file.exe")
IO.File.GetLastAccessTime("C:\file.exe")
IO.File.GetLastAccessTimeUtc("C:\file.exe")
IO.File.GetLastWriteTime("C:\file.exe")

Format:

Code:

IO.File.GetCreationTime(Path)
IO.File.GetCreationTimeUtc(Path)
IO.File.GetLastAccessTime(Path)
IO.File.GetLastAccessTimeUtc(Path)
IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(Path)

IO.File.Move

Explanation: Moves a file to a new directory. Same like Cut and Paste.

Example:

Code:

IO.File.Move(Application.ExecutablePath, "C:\moved.exe")

Format:

Code:

IO.File.Move(SourceFileName, Destinationfilename)

IO.File.Open & IO.File.OpenRead & IO.File.OpenText & IO.File.OpenWrite

Explanation: Open's a file for either reading or writing to it.

Example:

Code:

IO.File.Open("C:\file.exe", IO.FileMode.Open)
Textbox1.text = IO.File.OpenRead("C:\text.txt")
Textbox1.text = IO.File.OpenText("C:\text.txt")
IO.File.OpenWrite("C:\text.txt")

Format:

Code:

IO.File.Open(Path, Mode)
IO.File.OpenRead(Path)
IO.File.OpenText(Path)
IO.File.OpenWrite(Path)

IO.File.ReadAllBytes & IO.File.ReadAllLines & IO.File.ReadAllText

Explanation: Opens a file to read its byte array or all Textlines or its text.

Example:

Code:

Dim aByteArray As Byte() = IO.File.ReadAllBytes("C:\file.exe")
Dim aStringArray As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:\text.txt")
Dim aString As String = IO.File.ReadAllText("C:\text.txt")

Format:

Code:

IO.File.ReadAllBytes(Path)
IO.File.ReadAllLines(Path)
IO.File.ReadAllText(Path)

IO.File.Replace

Explanation: Rewrites a existing file and makes a backup of it.

Example:

Code:

IO.File.Replace(Application.ExecutablePath, "C:\copy.exe", "C:\backup.exe")

Format:

Code:

IO.File.Replace(SourceFileName, DestinationFileName, DestinationBackupFileName)

IO.File.SetAttributes

Explanation: Sets or changes a file's attribute.

Example:

Code:

IO.File.SetAttributes("C:\Unhidden.exe", FileAttribute.Hidden)

Format:

Code:

IO.File.SetAttributes(Path, FileAttributes)

IO.File.SetCreationTime & IO.File.SetCreationTimeUtc & IO.File.SetLastAccessTime & IO.File.SetLastAccessTimeUtc & IO.File.SetLastWriteTime

Explanation: Can set a file's creation date, the same date and time it got created or its last opened date and time or its last Edited time. Very useful for virus makers to fool the opener to think the binded file's creation date is like 2 years ago.

Example:

Code:

IO.File.SetCreationTime("C:\file.exe", Date.Today)
IO.File.SetCreationTimeUtc("C:\file.exe", Date.UtcNow)
IO.File.SetLastAccessTime("C:\file.exe", Date.Now)
IO.File.SetLastAccessTimeUtc("C:\file.exe", Date.Now)
IO.File.SetLastWriteTime("C:\file.exe", Date.Now)

Format:

Code:

IO.File.SetCreationTime(Path, Date)
IO.File.SetCreationTimeUtc(Path, Date)
IO.File.SetLastAccessTime(Path, Date)
IO.File.SetLastAccessTimeUtc(Path, Date)
IO.File.SetLastWriteTime(Path, Date)

File.Attributes: The Properties of files. The VB Attributes are:

• FileAttribute.Archive
  
• FileAttribute.Directory
  
• FileAttribute.Hidden
  
• FileAttribute.Normal
  
• FileAttribute.ReadOnly
  
• FileAttribute.System
  
• FileAttribute.Volume
  

Boolean: The Conditions that can connect codes. There are known booleans as:

• True ( Saying something is True )
  
• False ( Saying something is False )
  
• = ( Saying something is equal to another Code )
  
• <> ( Saying something is not equal to another Code )
  
• < ( Saying something is bigger then the Code's value )
  
• > ( Saying something is smaller then the Code's Value )
  

Examples:

Code:

If IO.File.Exists("C:\file.exe") = true then
If IO.File.Exists("C:\file.exe") = false then
If integer = 1 = true then
If integer <> 1 = true then
If integer < 1 = true then
If integer > 1 = true then
