Working with File System in LINQ

LINQ providing a functionality to work with the Files of the system. I am giving you some examples of the file system handling.

• This first example shows you how to work with file system to get the Hidden Files information of the system.

        EXAMPLE CODE          

           Imports System.IO
            Module Module1
                Sub Main()
                    Dim files = From a In New DirectoryInfo("C:\").GetFiles() _
                        Where (a.Attributes And FileAttributes.Hidden) = FileAttributes.Hidden _
                        Order By a.Name
                    Console.WriteLine("Hidden Files:")
                    For Each a In files
                        Console.WriteLine(a.Name)
                    Next
                    Console.ReadLine()
                End Sub
            End Module

           OUTPUT 

                                      

• This example shows you to the Files name which created within last year in the system.

        EXAMPLE CODE

           Imports System.IO
            Module Module1
                Sub Main()
                    Dim files = From a In New DirectoryInfo("C:\").GetFiles() _
                    Where a.CreationTime.AddYears(1) > Now _
                    Select a _
                    Order By a.Name
                    Console.WriteLine("Files which was create whitin the last year:")
                        For Each a In files
                    Console.WriteLine(a.Name)
                    Next
                    Console.ReadLine()
                End Sub
            End Module
