Notes

Implements Xojo.Core.Iterable.

On iOS, to get a reference to a FolderItem, use SpecialFolder. For example:

Var file As FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Documents("MyFile.txt")

To convert a classic FolderItem to a Xojo.IO.FolderItem, use the Constructor like this:

Var classicFile As FolderItem = GetFolderItem("")
Var newFile As New Xojo.IO.FolderItem(classicFile.NativePath.ToText)

To convert Xojo.IO.FolderItem to a classic FolderItem:

Var newFile As Xojo.IO.FolderItem = Xojo.IO.SpecialFolder.GetResource("MyFile.txt")
Var classicFile As New FolderItem(newFile.Path, FolderItem.PathTypeNative)
