T:Windows.Storage.FileAttributes |
winrt enum |
Describes the attributes of a file or folder.
The item is normal. That is, the item doesn't have any of the other values in the enumeration.
The item is read-only.
The item is a directory.
The item is archived.
The item is a temporary file.
The item is locally incomplete. Windows only.
The FileAttributes enumeration is used with the StorageFile.Attributes and StorageFolder.Attributes properties.
The enumeration values match the Win32 file type attributes. Therefore the enumeration values correspond to the Win32 values, which are flags in base 2.
The following example shows how to check the attributes of a folder.
using Windows.Storage;
using System.Diagnostics; // For writing results to the Output window.
// Get the app's installation folder.
StorageFolder appFolder = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;
// Get the folder's attributes.
FileAttributes folderAttributes = appFolder.Attributes;
// Check the folder's attributes.
// Write the results to the Visual Studio Output window.
if ((folderAttributes & FileAttributes.ReadOnly) == FileAttributes.ReadOnly)
Debug.WriteLine("The item is read-only.");
if ((folderAttributes & FileAttributes.Directory) == FileAttributes.Directory)
Debug.WriteLine("The item is a folder.");
if ((folderAttributes & FileAttributes.Archive) == FileAttributes.Archive)
Debug.WriteLine("The item is archived.");
if ((folderAttributes & FileAttributes.Temporary) == FileAttributes.Temporary)
Debug.WriteLine("The item is temporary.");
