Introduction

The Create() method of the File class is used to create files in C#. The File.Create() method takes a fully specified path as a parameter and creates a file at the specified location; if any such file already exists at the given location, it is overwritten.

Example

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Hello_World
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(String[] args)
        {

            string fileName = @"C:\Users\Rakesh\Desktop\Rakesh.txt";

            try
            {
                // Check if file already exists. If yes, delete it.     
                if (File.Exists(fileName))
                {
                    File.Delete(fileName);
                }

                // Create a new file     
                using (FileStream fs = File.Create(fileName))
                {
                    // Add some text to file    
                    Byte[] title = new UTF8Encoding(true).GetBytes("Welcome ");
                    fs.Write(title, 0, title.Length);
                    byte[] author = new UTF8Encoding(true).GetBytes("MR Rakesh Kumar Sutar");
                    fs.Write(author, 0, author.Length);
                }

                // Open the stream and read it back.    
                using (StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(fileName))
                {
                    string s = "";
                    while ((s = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine();
                        Console.WriteLine("\t" s);
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception Ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(Ex.ToString());
            }
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
