    Attributes Property (FileSystemItem)
    In This Topic
    Gets or sets the attributes of the item.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Property Attributes As FileAttributes
    'Usage
     
    Dim instance As FileSystemItem
    Dim value As FileAttributes
     
    instance.Attributes = value
     
    value = instance.Attributes
    public FileAttributes Attributes {get; set;}

    Property Value

    A combination of System.IO.FileAttributes values that represents the attributes of the item.
    Remarks

    When changing the item's attributes through this property, the physical item is immediately modified if it exists. If it does not exist, the attributes are cached and will be applied whenever this item is created.

    If HasAttributes returns false, the getter returns System.IO.FileAttributes.Normal and System.IO.FileAttributes.Directory while the setter throws a FileSystemNotSupportedException.

    Keep in mind that even if HasAttributes returns true, it is not guaranteed that all the attributes are supported. The non-supported attributes will simply be ignored.

    Refresh should be called before accessing this property, or the information returned could be outdated.
    Requirements

    Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
