FileAttributes

[Alan T]

This is the code:

FileAttributes attributes = File.GetAttributes(sFileName);

MessageBox.Show(attributes.ToString());



The message box shows "ReadOnly, Archive"



How do I test if the file is ReadOnly?

I tried

if (attributes == FileAttributes .ReadOnly)

but it always give me false.

if ((attributes & FileAttributes.ReadOnly) != 0)
{
// Whatever

Is this ReadOnly or not ?

Is this ReadOnly or not ?

The code in the body of the if statement will execute if it *is*
ReadOnly.
