Xceed.FileSystem Assembly > Xceed.FileSystem Namespace : MemoryFile Class

Specialization of the AbstractFile class that implements access to a file located in memory.

Object Model







Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Class MemoryFile 
   Inherits AbstractFile
C# 
public class MemoryFile : AbstractFile

Remarks

As long as you hold at least one instance on a MemoryFile or a MemoryFolder located in a specific root name, all files and folders in that same virtual ram drive stay alive. When a root name is no longer referenced, all its content will get garbage collected later.

To make sure the memory allocated for a MemoryFile's data is released, as soon as you don't need the file anymore, call FileSystemItem.Delete on that MemoryFile.
