Parameters

writableFileInfo

The writable file info object that will perform the operation.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

fileMode

A System.IO.FileMode value that specifies whether a file is created if one does not exist, and determines whether the contents of existing files are retained or overwritten.

encoding

The character encoding to use.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

This method is similar in purpose to System.IO.FileInfo.CreateText, but is generalized for any kind of writable file info, not just files in the physical file system.

This is an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.
