And when you trace out you do get the contents of the file?

Yup, I saw file content in debug window.

If it does work, my question becomes something different;
How do i convert the loaded in data (one big string) to a File object ?

Use xml instead of text?

- Can i add data to a File Object?
- Can i create a new temporary File Object and and string data to it?

Nope and nope.
The data property of a File object is read only. Check the docs.
You typically use a File object in combination with a FileStream instance to 
read/write to disk.

I save it in memory and pass it through to the rest.

Depends on what the "rest" is, but you can pass a File object around, just like 
any other object.
