Please be more specific about "it does not work."  Do you get an exception?  

Assuming "data" is the name of the file, what you wrote should work.  But you named your variable "file" and you're getting a FileInfo, which is not the same thing, so maybe you should rename your variable, or maybe you don't want a FileInfo and should use something else like FileStream.
