Fileinfo object

If I'm using System.IO; and have run the following:

    string myPathway = @"R:\Hello.pdf"
    FileInfo x = new FileInfo(myPathway);

Is there a method so I can reuse the object x but pointed at a different file located at "mySecondPathway", or do I create a new FileInfo object y ?

FileInfo x = new FileInfo("R:\\Hello.pdf"); // you forgot to escape the backslash
x = new FileInfo("anotherFile.txt"); // just reassign it

Note that reassignment doesn't re-use the actual object in-memory, but the x just now refers to the anotherFile.txt file.

No you cannot. You have to create a new object, but can reuse x, as x = new FileInfo(mySecondPath);

There is no way to reuse a FileInfo-object, you need to create a new one. You can just reassign x with x = new FileInfo(mySecondPath); though.
