1. [Working with Files in C#: an overview](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/working-with-files-in-csharp-an-overview) (Apprentice): A program finds a file by its path. An absolute path starts at the drive; a relative path starts at the program's current folder, which in Visual Studio is the build folder, so data files are copied there.
2. [File, FileInfo and Path](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/working-with-files-in-csharp-file-fileinfo-and-path) (Apprentice): File and Directory check for, create, list, copy and delete files and folders. FileInfo describes one file. Path builds paths with Path.Combine and takes them apart, without touching the disk.
