Assembly: HDF5DotNet (in HDF5DotNet.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Shared Function create ( _ filename As String, _ mode As H5F..::..CreateMode _ ) As H5FileId

C#
public static H5FileId create( string filename, H5F..::..CreateMode mode )

Visual C++
public: static H5FileId^ create( String^ filename, H5F..::..CreateMode mode )

JavaScript
HDF5DotNet.H5F.create = function(filename, mode);

Parameters

filename: Type: String
filename for new HDF5 file

mode: Type: HDF5DotNet..::..H5F..::..CreateMode
H5F.CreateMode enumeration type that specifies such modes as read-only (H5F.CreateMode.ACC_RDONLY)

Return Value

a vaild H5FileId for the created file

Remarks

Keeping the H5Id class implemented as an abstract data type provides us the opportunity for future source-compatible library upgrades.

Examples

[C#]

	Copy Code
try { // Create an HDF5 file. H5FileId fileId = H5F.create("myCSharp.h5", H5F.CreateMode.ACC_TRUNC); H5F.close(openId); } catch (HDFException e) { Console.WriteLine(e.Message); }

[Visual Basic .NET]

Imports HDF5DotNet

	Copy Code
Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim FileId As H5FileId Try FileId = H5F.create("HDF5_fromVB", _ H5F.CreateMode.ACC_TRUNC) H5F.close(FileId) Catch ex As HDFException Console.WriteLine(ex.Message()) End Try Console.WriteLine("Processing complete!") Console.ReadLine() End Sub End Module

Copy Code
