DigitalRune.Storages currently only provides read access to files! Full read/write access, as well as support for additional platforms, will be added in a future version. |
The IStorage interface provides a common API to access files from different sources. The following implementations provide access to physical file systems on different platforms:
Some storages are built on top of other storages. For example:
Case-Sensitivity:
File retrieval is case-sensitive if the storage provider (e.g. the platform OS) is
case-sensitive. It is recommended to assume case-sensitivity to ensure that applications can
be ported to non-Windows platforms.
Directory Separator:
Storages accepts '\' and '/' as directory separators. Internally, paths are normalized to use
'/'.
Possible Extensions:
The IStorage concept is highly extensible. Developers can provide custom
IStorage implementations to add support for new platforms or manipulate existing
storages. Here are just a few features that could be implemented on top of
IStorage:
