xamarin ios read txt file

• Add the file to your Xamarin.iOS project and ensure the Build Action is set to BundleResource. The sample code has a file called ReadMe.txt in the TestData folder.

• Load the file’s contents into a variable using ReadAllText. Notice the path that is passed to the method is relative to the project’s root

• var text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("TestData/ReadMe.txt");

  • Do something with the text, such as write to the Console or show in a UITextView:

  Console.WriteLine(text);
  txtView.Text = text;

  
  

• To save a string value to a text file

  1. Make sure you add a using statement for System.IO.

  using System.IO;

  2. Determine the path for the **Documents** folder:

  var documents = Environment.GetFolderPath (Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);

  3. Construct a filename to save the document to:

  var filename = Path.Combine (documents, "Write.txt");

  4. Write to the file:

  File.WriteAllText(filename, "Write this text into a file!");
