Question Change file permission to Read & Execute

[jay_agno]

I'm working on a program on where I need to changed the file's permissions.
My problem is that I can't set the file to "Read and Execute".

I can set the file into "Read" with the code below, but how about "Read and Execute"?

File.SetAttributes("C:\testfolder\sample.txt", FileAttributes.ReadOnly) ' Set file to Read and Execute.

Thank you for kind reply.

Why would you want to execute a .014 file? Give it the proper extension and just run it if it's a valid executable. Unless you want to hide the fact it's an executable, which is exactly why you can't set the executable flag on a non-executable file type.

File security is not set by file attributes, lookup GetAccessControl/SetAccessControl for that.

@Herman
I see. May be I'm asking the wrong question, or performing a nonsense code.

@JohnH
I'll look unto that.

Thanks for all of your help.
