VFile.ReadAllTextAsync Method

Namespace: Rebex.IO

Assembly: Rebex.FileSystem.dll (version 7.0.9147)

ReadAllTextAsync(String, CancellationToken)

Method returns a String that contains text content of a file identified by the path.

Declaration

public static Task<string> ReadAllTextAsync(string path, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default(CancellationToken))

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	path	The path of the file.
CancellationToken	cancellationToken	The cancellation token. See remarks for details.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<String>	A Task<TResult>, which wraps text content of a file identified by the path.

Remarks

• Content of the file is read using the UTF-8 encoding.
• Rebex virtual file systems are synchronous. This method is provided only for compatibility with the File API on modern platforms. Despite the async suffix this method runs synchronously and returns a string wrapped in the instance of the Task<string> class. The cancellationToken is not used. If the need to offload the operation to the background thread arise, consider using the .NET Task.Run (or TaskFactory.StartNew on older platforms) API with the synchronous Rebex.IO.FileSystem.IO.VFile.ReadAllText(System.String) method.
