IPersistFile (Interfaces)

Summary
The IPersistFile interface provides methods that permit an object to be loaded from or saved to a disk file, rather than a storage object or stream. Because the information needed to open a file varies greatly from one application to another, the implementation of IPersistFile::Load on the object must also open its disk file.

The IPersistFile interface inherits its definition from IPersist, so all implementations must also include the GetClassID method of IPersist

C# Definition:

    [ComImport, Guid("0000010b-0000-0000-C000-000000000046"),
    InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)]
    public interface IPersistFile: IPersist
    {
        new void GetClassID(out Guid pClassID);
        [PreserveSig]
        int IsDirty();

        [PreserveSig]
        void Load([In, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]
            string pszFileName, uint dwMode);

        [PreserveSig]
        void Save([In, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string pszFileName,
            [In,MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)] bool fRemember);

        [PreserveSig]
        void SaveCompleted([In, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string pszFileName);

        [PreserveSig]
        void GetCurFile([In, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string ppszFileName);        
    }
