    Read only attribute

    How do you programatically remove the "read-only" attribute from a file in a certain directory. I know in VB - I used a shell command in VB - but I suppose there is a more elegant way in C#.


    Regards

    Code:
    using System;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Text;
    
    class FileAttributesExample 
    {
        public static void Main() 
        {   
               // Remove read only attribute
                string filepath = @"c:\temp\Readonly.txt";
                File.SetAttributes(filepath, FileAttributes.Archive);
        }
    }
