In this recipe, we will learn how to create files on the filesystem of iOS devices.
Create a new iPhone Single View Application project in MonoDevelop. Name it FileCreationApp
. Open the FileCreationAppViewController.xib file, and add a UILabel and a UIButton on its view.
Enter the following code in the FileCreationAppViewController class:
public override void ViewDidLoad(){
string filePath = Path.Combine (Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal), "MyFile.txt");
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter (filePath)){
sw.WriteLine ("Some text in file!");
}
this.btnShow.TouchUpInside += delegate {
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader (filePath)){
this.labelMessage.Text = sr.ReadToEnd ();
}
}
};
