What are the equivalent methods of the following native API functions?

Question

I am looking for the equivalent methods (in .Net) of the following WinAPI:

• CreateFile(); or OpenFile();

• CreateFileMapping();

• MapViewOfFile();

Answer 1

For .NET 4.0 developers, the interesting classes that work with memory-mapped files live in the new System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles namespace.

See this article: http://www.developer.com/net/article.php/3828586/Using-Memory-Mapped-Files-in-NET-40.htm

Answer 2

You can use those functions directly. The .net wrappers of the memory mapped file API were only introduced in .net 4.0.
