Methods

HasWritePermission(string)

Gets a value indicating whether or not the current process has write permission to the specified file path.

public bool HasWritePermission(string path)

Parameters

path string: An absolute or relative file path.

Returns

bool: true if the current process is able to write to the specified path; false if not.

Remarks

The path may be relative or absolute; if relative then it is treated as relative to the current working directory.

This method will recurse in order to test the permissions for parent directories, if it finds a file or directory which does not exist. When testing for the writability of directories, this is performed by attempting to create a temporary file with a random file name; see GetRandomFileName(). If we are able to create such a file then it is assumed that we have full write permissions to the directory. In this scenario, the temporary file is deleted immediately after.
