Metro class library, FileInfo replacement?

c#, io, windows-runtime

Solution

The StorageFile Class in the Windows.Storage Namespace.

StorageFile class

Represents a file. Provides information about the file and its content, and ways to manipulate them.

Example:

var file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(path);

Problem

In one of our components ported from Java to C#, we used `FileInfo` as an equivalent for Java's `File` class. Now we're working towards making that class library available to Metro applications and we have to pass the certification obviously. What's a good replacement for `FileInfo` in .NET Framework 4.5 core profile?
