Class Members

Member		Description
	AddTrailingSlash	Adds a trailing slash to a path if there isn't one. public static string AddTrailingSlash(string path) public static string AddTrailingSlash(string path, char slashChar)
	CamelCaseSafeFilename	Returns a safe filename in CamelCase public static string CamelCaseSafeFilename(string filename)
	CopyDirectory	Copies directories using either top level only or deep merge copy. public static void CopyDirectory(string sourceDirectory, string targetDirectory, bool deleteFirst, bool recursive) public static void CopyDirectory(DirectoryInfo source, DirectoryInfo target, bool deleteFirst, bool recursive)
	CopyStream	Copies the content of the one stream to another. Streams must be open and stay open. public static void CopyStream(Stream source, Stream dest, int bufferSize) public static void CopyStream(Stream source, Stream dest, int bufferSize, bool append)
	DeleteFiles	Deletes files in a folder based on a file spec recursively public static int DeleteFiles(string path, string filespec, bool recursive)
	DeleteTimedoutFiles	Deletes files based on a file spec and a given timeout. This routine is useful for cleaning up temp files in Web applications. public static void DeleteTimedoutFiles(string filespec, int seconds)
	ExpandPathEnvironmentVariables	Expands Path Environment Variables like %appdata% in paths. public static string ExpandPathEnvironmentVariables(string path)
	FilePathAsUrl	Returns a path as a `file:///` url. public static string FilePathAsUrl(string path)
	FindFileInHierarchy	public static string FindFileInHierarchy(string currentPath, string searchFile, FindFileInHierarchyDirection direction)
	FindFilesInHierarchy	public static String[] FindFilesInHierarchy(string startPath, string searchFile, FindFileInHierarchyDirection direction)
	GetChecksumFromFile	Creates an MD5 checksum of a file public static string GetChecksumFromFile(string file, string hashAlgorithm)
	GetCompactPath	Returns a compact path with elipsis from a long path public static string GetCompactPath(string path, int length)
	GetFileEncoding	Detects the byte order mark of a file and returns an appropriate encoding for the file. public static Encoding GetFileEncoding(string srcFile)
	GetPhysicalPath	This function returns the actual filename of a file that exists on disk. If you provide a path/file name that is not proper cased as input, this function fixes it up and returns the file using the path and file names as they exist on disk. public static string GetPhysicalPath(string filename)
	GetRelativePath	Returns a relative path string from a full path based on a base path provided. public static string GetRelativePath(string fullPath, string basePath)
	GetShortPath	Returns a short form Windows path (using ~8 char segment lengths) that can help with long filenames. public static string GetShortPath(string path)
	GetTempFilenameWithExtension	Creates a temporary file name with a specific extension. Optionall provide the base path to create it in otherwise the TEMP path is used. Filename is generated as _ + 8 random characters/digits public static string GetTempFilenameWithExtension(string extension, string tempPath, int charCount)
	HasInvalidPathCharacters	Checks to see if a file has invalid path characters. Use this to check before using or manipulating paths with `Path` operations that will fail if files or paths contain invalid characters. public static bool HasInvalidPathCharacters(string path, Char[] additionalChars)
	NormalizeDirectory	Normalizes path with slashes and forces a trailing slash on the end of the path. public static string NormalizeDirectory(string path)
	NormalizePath	Normalizes a file path to the operating system default slashes. public static string NormalizePath(string path)
	OpenStreamReaderWithEncoding	Opens a stream reader with the appropriate text encoding applied. public static StreamReader OpenStreamReaderWithEncoding(string srcFile)
	ReadAllTextAsync	Asynchronously reads files. Use only with NetFx public static Task ReadAllTextAsync(string filename, Encoding encoding)
	SafeFilename	Returns a safe filename from a string by stripping out illegal characters public static string SafeFilename(string fileName, string replacementString, string spaceReplacement)
	WriteAllTextAsync	Writes out text file content asynchronously.Use only with NetFx. public static Task WriteAllTextAsync(string filename, string text, Encoding encoding)
