File.SetAttributes Method - C#

The following example demonstrates the GetAttributes and SetAttributes methods by applying the Archive and Hidden attributes to a file.

 
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

class Test 
{
    public static void Main() 
    {
        string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt";

        // Create the file if it exists. 
        if (!File.Exists(path)) 
        {
            File.Create(path);
        }

        FileAttributes attributes = File.GetAttributes(path);

        if ((attributes & FileAttributes.Hidden) == FileAttributes.Hidden)
        {
            // Show the file.
            attributes = RemoveAttribute(attributes, FileAttributes.Hidden);
            File.SetAttributes(path, attributes);
            Console.WriteLine("The {0} file is no longer hidden.", path);
        } 
        else 
        {
            // Hide the file.
            File.SetAttributes(path, File.GetAttributes(path) | FileAttributes.Hidden);
            Console.WriteLine("The {0} file is now hidden.", path);
        }
    }

    private static FileAttributes RemoveAttribute(FileAttributes attributes, FileAttributes attributesToRemove)
    {
        return attributes & ~attributesToRemove;
    }
}

Tip/Trick: Fix Common SEO Problems Using the URL Rewrite Extension




























  Search engine optimization (SEO) is important for any publically facing web-site.  A large % of traffic to sites now comes directly from search engines, and improving your site’s search relevancy will lead to more users visiting your site from search engine queries.  This can directly or indirectly increase the money you make through your site.   This blog post covers how you can use the free Microsoft  URL Rewrite Extension  to fix a bunch of common SEO problems that your site might have.  It takes less than 15 minutes (and no code changes) to apply 4 simple  URL Rewrite  rules to your site, and in doing so cause search engines to drive more visitors and traffic to your site.  The techniques below work equally well with both ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC based sites.  They also works with all versions of ASP.NET (and even work with non-ASP.NET content).

ASP.NET MVC - Set custom IIdentity or IPrincipal




























  Here's how I do it.   I decided to use IPrincipal instead of IIdentity because it means I don't have to implement both IIdentity and IPrincipal.    Create the interface  interface  ICustomPrincipal  :  IPrincipal  {      int  UserId  {  get ;  set ;  }      string  FirstName  {  get ;  set ;  }      string  LastName  {  get ;  set ;  }  }    CustomPrincipal  public  class  CustomPrincipal  :  ICustomPrincipal  {      public  IIdentity  Identity  {  get ;  private  set ;  }      public  bool  IsInRole ( string  role )  {  return  false ;  }       public  CustomPrincipal ( string  email )      {          this . Identity  =  new  GenericIdentity ( email );      }       public  int  UserId  {  get ;  set ;  }      public  string  FirstName  {  get ;  set ;  }      public  string  LastName  {  get ;  set ;  }  }    CustomPrincipalSerializeModel - for serializing custom information into userdata field in FormsAuthenticationTicket object.  public  class  CustomPrincipalSerializeMode
