The FileInfo Class

This class contains methods that provide the same service as the File class. The main difference between the
two classes is that FileInfo's methods are instance methods and the class contains a constructor that lets you
create it as an object. What you get is a reference variable to an object that represents or abstracts a file. The
class also provides a handful of properties that make reporting on a file easier. The members of FileInfo (sans
methods inherited from Object) are listed in Table 15−17.
