C#常用文件操作总结

在C#中，常用的文件操作包含文件的移动，复制，文件的读写，其中文件的读写分为文本文件以及二进制文件。

文本文件与二进制文件有各自的优缺点，文本文件按照字符的ASCII码进行存储，所以你可以直接用记事本打开文本文件，可以看到文件的内容，但是文件的所有的内容在内存中的表示和在记事本中的表示是不一样的，所以读入内存会存在转码的时间消耗，如果你想让文件直观的话，可以采用文本文件。

二进制文件则是直接存储你需要存储内容的在内存中的直接表示，在读取的时候比较快捷，而且二进制文件的大小要比文本文件小很多。

常用的文件操作类是File,File类是一个静态类，所有的成员函数都为静态函数，所以File类的效率比其他的例如FileInfo类的效率要高。一般情况下，File和FileInfo可以实现的功能大同小异。可以根据自己的需要选择不同的类。

File支持文件的基本操作，包括提供了创建、复制、删除、移动、打开以及获取文件的其他的相关属性的一些方法。

同时，为了更好的支持File文件的操作，C#中定义了一个文件流FileStream，可以将文件加载到文件流FileStream中进行更加方便的操作。

为了对FileStream进行操作，C#定义了两组最常用的操作FileStream的类，一组是StreamReader, StreamWriter, 另外一组是BinaryReader, BinaryWriter,。这两组类分别提供了进行文本文件读写以及二进制文件的读取操作。

文件的操作还有一些其他的类，但是对于常用的一些基本的文件操作，有File, FileStream, StreamReader, StreamWriter,BinaryReader, BinaryWriter,这几个类就足够了。

File类的定义，如下所示：

可以看到都是对字节流的操作，这种对于字节流的操作，对于大部分来说还是比较困难的，所以c#又帮助我们封装了对FileStream的操作，那就是StreamReader, StreamWriter, BinaryReader, BinaryWriter.

下面分别看看这两组类怎么使用：

StreamReader, StreamWriter

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;

namespace FileOperater
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            if (File.Exists("record.txt"))
            {
                FileStream fs = new FileStream("record.txt", FileMode.Open);
                StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs);
                while (!sr.EndOfStream)
                {
                    string msg = sr.ReadLine();
                    this.richTextBox1.Text += msg + Environment.NewLine;
                }
                sr.Close();
                fs.Close();
            }
 
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            FileStream fs = new FileStream("record.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
            StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs);
            string text = richTextBox1.Text;
            sw.WriteLine(text);
            // 添加一些其他的信息
            sw.WriteLine("i love C# programming!");
            sw.WriteLine("what's ur favourate programming language?");
            sw.Flush();
            sw.Close();
            fs.Close();
        }
    }
}

这个时候打开文本文件，可以看到你输入的内容和添加的内容。

BinaryWriter, BinaryReader.

这个时候我们添加三个TextBox ，可以将TextBox中输入的数字转换为对应的整数，然后将整数以及在richTextBox中的字符串都以二进制的方式写入文件。

            bw.Close();
            fs.Close();
        }
    }
}

	ReadInt32	Reads a 4-byte signed integer from the current stream and advances the current position of the stream by four bytes.
	ReadInt64	Reads an 8-byte signed integer from the current stream and advances the current position of the stream by eight bytes.
	ReadSByte	Reads a signed byte from this stream and advances the current position of the stream by one byte.
	ReadSingle	Reads a 4-byte floating point value from the current stream and advances the current position of the stream by four bytes.
	ReadString	Reads a string from the current stream. The string is prefixed with the length, encoded as an integer seven bits at a time.
	ReadUInt16	Reads a 2-byte unsigned integer from the current stream using little-endian encoding and advances the position of the stream by two bytes.
	ReadUInt32	Reads a 4-byte unsigned integer from the current stream and advances the position of the stream by four bytes.
	ReadUInt64	Reads an 8-byte unsigned integer from the current stream and advances the position of the stream by eight bytes.
	ToString	Returns a String that represents the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
