IMO personal preference...

Thanks for your reply. But I do want to poject myself as hep ie. with the
new implementations. FileRead, though I have used in the past reliably,
sounds backward to me.

No?

What's "hep" (sorry, I really don't know...).

ie. with the new implementations.

If you want to make experiences with the file access classes in 'System.IO',
play around with them. Then you can decide what you like best: VB.NET's
file access methods (sometimes a valuable shortcut) or the I/O classes.

This may sound stupid but I don't see System.IO in the list of .Net
Components when I tried to reference it.

Am I doing something wrong?

'System.IO' is a namespace. If "System.dll" is referenced, it should be
available.
