FileSystemSecurity.xml: The example doesn't compile, contains non-existent method, no typos

[skycommand]

Hello

I'm reporting a faulty example code in the FileSystemSecurity Class page for .NET 7.0 (and potentially other versions). The associated source page is FileSystemSecurity.xml

The code doesn't compile (generating four CS0117 errors) because it calls two non-existent methods: File.GetAccessControl() and File.SetAccessControl().

• In the C# version, the bad calls are on lines 44, 51, 61, and 68.
• In the VB version, the bad calls are on lines 38, 47, 58, and 65.
• In the C++ version, the bad calls are on lines 12, 19, 30, and 37.

Please advise.

The example needs to be updated to use FileSystemAclExtensions. Instead of File.GetAccessControl(fileName), we need new FileInfo(fileName).GetAccessControl().

Although the existing example may still have value for .NET framework users. @gewarren is there a way to make tfm-specific examples?

@Jozkee Yes you can have have more than one example and just annotate them with the versions they apply to.
