'Declaration
 
Public Function New( _
   ByVal rootName As String, _
   ByVal fullName As String _
)

'Usage
 
Dim rootName As String
Dim fullName As String
 
Dim instance As New MemoryFile(rootName, fullName)

public MemoryFile( 
   string rootName,
   string fullName
)

Parameters

rootName

The root name of the MemoryFile, without the colon (:). You can see this as the drive letter (or name) of your memory drive. For example: "RamDrive1"

fullName

The name of the MemoryFile, without the root part. Can contain a path. For example, "memoryFile.txt" or "\subfolder\MyFile.txt

As long as you hold at least one instance on a MemoryFile or a MemoryFolder located in a specific root name, all files and folders in that same virtual ram drive stay alive. When a root name is no longer referenced, all its content will get garbage collected later.

To make sure the memory allocated for a MemoryFile's data is released, as soon as you don't need the file anymore, call FileSystemItem.Delete on that MemoryFile.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
