More Simple Questions --- Reading/Writing Files

In VB6, I would open files with:

Open <file name> For <input/output/append> As <file number>

I could then use the Write/Input commands to modify/read the file. How
do I do this in VB.NET?

Thanks

Use System.IO namespace types. A sample is here

Also check out MSDN for more samples.

A.,

Those VB6 techniques will still work in VB.Net, with a few minor changes.

For example, instead of Open, use FileOpen.

VB.Net can also use the classes in the System.IO namespace.

Part of VB.Net docs:

I prefer the System.IO classes.
