Hey Friend,

Here i am giving you some codes for setting file attribute just use them as per your requirement.

To set a file attribute of the VB:

Public Shared Sub SetAttributes ( _path As String, _fileAttributes As FileAttributes _)

Dim path As String
Dim fileAttributes As FileAttributes
File.SetAttributes(path, fileAttributes)

To set a file attribute of the C#:

public static void SetAttributes(string path, FileAttributes fileAttributes)

Hope it will works

You can also use a well known command for setting the file attribute is "ATTRIB"

If you want to set a file attribute to archive and to remove archive:

attrib +a filename

attrib -a filename

For setting system file attribute and to remove system file attribute:

attrib +s filename

attrib -s filename

For setting hidden attribute and to remove hidden attribute:

attrib +h filename

attrib -h filename

For setting read only attribute and to remove read only attribute:

attrib +r filename

attrib -r filename

ATTRIB used to displays, sets, or removes the read-only, archive, system, and hidden attributes assigned to files or directories. Used without parameters, attrib displays attributes of all files in the current directory.
Syntax

attrib [{+r|-r}] [{+a|-a}] [{+s|-s}] [{+h|-h}] [[Drive:][Path] FileName] [/s[/d]]

Parameters

+r : Sets the read-only file attribute.

-r : Clears the read-only file attribute.

+a : Sets the archive file attribute.

-a : Clears the archive file attribute.

+s : Sets the system file attribute.

-s : Clears the system file attribute.

+h : Sets the hidden file attribute.

-h : Clears the hidden file attribute.

[ Drive : ][ Path ] FileName : Specifies the location and name of the directory, file, or set of files for which you want to display or change attributes. You can use wildcard characters (that is, ? and *) in the FileName parameter to display or change the attributes for a group of files.

/s : Applies attrib and any command-line options to matching files in the current directory and all of its subdirectories.

/d : Applies attrib and any command-line options to directories.

/? : Displays help at the command prompt.

Thank you
