Filehandling

File handling in .NET allows programs to store and manipulate data in files. It uses classes in the System.IO namespace to create, open, read, and write to files. The FileStream class provides access to files and supports data types like strings and numbers. Other classes like BinaryReader and StreamReader enable reading and writing different data types from files. Directories are collections of files that can be created and managed using the Directory class.
