Remarks

System.IO.IOException is the base class for exceptions thrown while accessing information using streams, files and directories.

Note:

The Base Class Library includes the following types, each of which is derived from System.IO.IOException:

• System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException
• System.IO.EndOfStreamException
• System.IO.FileLoadException
• System.IO.FileNotFoundException
• System.IO.PathTooLongException

Where appropriate, use these types instead of System.IO.IOException.
