Week 2. At a Glance
File input/output (I/O) is a very important topic to ASP.NET. You've already been using outside files in your ASP.NET pages (such as XML data files, databases, and so on), but today you're going to learn more about how other types of files can help extend your ASP.NET applications.
There are many uses for external files other than simply providing a place to store extra data. Today's lesson will cover the following:
How ASP.NET uses files and where we'll see them
How to include files in your ASP.NET pages
How to access file and directory properties
How to open, read from, and write to files
How to provide custom file storage (isolated storage) for each user
