The ultimate .NET file and directory utility library?

Question

All the time I find myself in a utility for working with files and directories, and I was wondering if there is a good library of files and directories that already implements a more extensive set than the default in System.IO. The kind of functions I'm looking for are things like:

public static void GetTemporaryDirectory() { string tempDirectory = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), Path.GetRandomFileName()); Directory.CreateDirectory(tempDirectory); return tempDirectory; } public static void CreateEmptyFile(string filename) { File.Create(filename).Dispose(); } public static void CreateEmptyFile(string path, string filename) { File.Create(Path.Combine(path, filename)).Dispose(); } public static void CreateDirectory(string path) { Directory.CreateDirectory(path); } public static void CreateDirectory(string path, string childpath) { Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.Combine(path, childpath)); } 

Answer 1

Although I completely agree with the comments made above, perhaps these libraries may be of interest:

• NDepend.Path (FileDirectoryPath)
• Fluentpath
• Extension Methods
• Alpha FS

Updated message with FileDirectoryPath link that looks exactly for an OP request.
