Hi, I need help to create an app that can modify file attribute like hidden, archive, read-only. Thanks

To work with the attributes of a file research the System.IO.File Class. In it is the FileAttributes class that you are looking for, here a few examples of how this works

To make a file read only

Dim attribute as System.IO.FileAttributes = FileAttributes.ReadOnly
File.SetAttributes("file1.txt", attribute)

To make a hidden file not hidden

dim attribute as System.IO.FileAttributes=IO.FileAttributes.Normal
System.IO.File.SetAttributes("file1.txt",attribute)

To set a files last accessed date

System.IO.File.SetLastAccessTime("file1.txt", Date.Now)

To mark a file as being a system file

Dim attribute As System.IO.FileAttributes = IO.FileAttributes.System
System.IO.File.SetAttributes("file1.txt", attribute)

Those are just a few examples of how to work with the System.IO.File class. Hope this helps

hello people, okay?

I need to change the attribute of a hidden file to be visible, so I'm doing this from a Windows Mobile to a file server windows 2003, my problem is that the project of VS 2008 VB dotNET function SetAttributes GetAttributes or does not appear System.IO.File of the options, can someone help me?

Thank you in advance.
