.net - How to hide file in C#?

Question

I want to hide a file in c#. I know the file path and can create a FileInfo object.

How can I hide it?

Answer 1

The previously accepted answer:

File.SetAttributes(path, FileAttributes.Hidden);

will result in certain other attributes it may have being lost, so you should:

File.SetAttributes(path, File.GetAttributes(path) | FileAttributes.Hidden);
