    MemoryFolder Class
    In This Topic
    Specialization of the AbstractFolder class that implements access to a folder located in memory.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Class MemoryFolder 
       Inherits AbstractFolder
    'Usage
     
    Dim instance As MemoryFolder
    public class MemoryFolder : AbstractFolder 
    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.
