Creating an empty file in C#

Question

What\'s the simplest/canonical way to create an empty file in C#/.NET?

The simplest way I could find so far is:

System.IO.File.WriteAllLines(filename         


        

Answer 1

System.IO.File.Create(@"C:\Temp.txt");

As others have pointed out, you should dispose of this object or wrap it in an empty using statement.

using (System.IO.File.Create(@"C:\Temp.txt"));
