Friends database, using files - Practice Exercises C# Sharp


Lesson 8:

File management


Exercise 8.14:

Friends database, using files


Objetive:

Expand the "friends database", so that it loads data from file at the beginning of each session (if the file exists) and saves the data to file when the session ends. Therefore, the data entered in a session must be available for the next session.


Source Code:

using System;
using System.IO;
