Read only attributes on files 1

[golcarlad]

How do you programatically remove the "read-only" attribute from a file in a certain directory. I know in VB - I used a shell command in VB - but I suppose there is a more elegant way in C#.

this should work

using System.IO;

File.SetAttributes("C:\\file.txt", FileAttributes.Normal);

Though that will remove ALL attributes. For example if the read only file is alos Hidden and a system file, those attributes will be wiped out.

If you want to get more specific, google for "C# System.IO.FileAttributes
