Murach's C# - How to work with text and binary files

So this chapter shows you how to use the Directory, File, and FileStream classes to work with files; how to use the StreamWriter and StreamReader classes to write and read text files; and how to use the BinaryWriter and BinaryReader classes to write and read binary files.
