Help My Brain is apparently not working!



I have been trying to toggle FileAttributes in C# code to no avail. Nothing
I have tried has worked and I have been unable to find anything anywhere on
toggling the bits properly.



Depending on the file I need to either turn off the "Archive" bit or the
"ReadOnly" bit; whether it is on or not I need to turn it off.



Everything I have tried generates an error.



Please Help.



Thanks in Advance

Something like this will turn off both Archive and ReadOnly attribute
bits. Modify to suit your needs:

FileAttributes attr = FileAttributes.Archive |
FileAttributes.ReadOnly;

File.SetAttributes( fname, File.GetAttributes( fname) & (~attr));
