    MemoryFile Constructor(String,String)
    In This Topic
    Initializes a new instance of the MemoryFile class specifying its root name and filename.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    
    Public Function New( _
       ByVal rootName As String, _
       ByVal fullName As String _
    )
    'Usage
     
    
    Dim rootName As String
    Dim fullName As String
     
    Dim instance As New MemoryFile(rootName, fullName)
    public MemoryFile( 
       string rootName,
       string fullName
    )

    Parameters

    rootName
    The root name of the MemoryFile, without the colon (:). You can see this as the drive letter (or name) of your memory drive. For example: "RamDrive1"
    fullName
    The name of the MemoryFile, without the root part. Can contain a path. For example, "memoryFile.txt" or "\subfolder\MyFile.txt
    Remarks

    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.
