'Declaration
 
Public Function New( _
   ByVal fullName As String _
)

'Usage
 
Dim fullName As String
 
Dim instance As New MemoryFile(fullName)

public MemoryFile( 
   string fullName
)

Parameters

fullName

The fully qualified name of the MemoryFile, as returned by FileSystemItem.FullName, including the root part. The file does not need to exist. For example, "RAM:\memoryFile.txt" or "MyRam1:\subfolder\MyFile.txt"

As long as you hold at least one instance on a MemoryFile or a MemoryFolder located in a specific root name, all files and folders in that same virtual ram drive stay alive. When a root name is no longer referenced, all its content will get garbage collected later.

To make sure the memory allocated for a MemoryFile's data is released, as soon as you don't need the file anymore, call FileSystemItem.Delete on that MemoryFile.
