File and FileInfo Classes in C#

These Classes can be used to do some manipulation and to set some information regarding the File.
File Class:- File class provided Static Method.It means that there is no need to create the object of the class for access the class Methods.we already know that static member  can access through  the class directly.
FileInfo Class:- FileInfo Class provided the Non Static Method.It means that we will need to create the object of the class  for access  class methods. Class is loaded in memory when the object of the class will be created.

        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (File.Exists(textBox1.Text))
            {
                MessageBox.Show("File is already exist");
                textBox2.Text = File.ReadAllText(textBox1.Text);
            }
            else
            {
                File.Create(textBox1.Text);
                MessageBox.Show("File created successfully");
