Hi,
I'm facing a small problem in reading data from a file. I need to read data from the file based on the following conditions:
(1) If the file is not opened (by any application), read it;
(2) If the file is opened (by any application) but not in writing mode, read it;
(3) If the file is opened and is in saving/writing mode, don't read it.
Plz tell me how can I implement this. It would also be great if you could provide me with the code in C#.
Thanks & Regards,
Frenz

public string ReadFile( string filename )
{
try
{
using(FileStream fileStream = new FileStream( filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.None))
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader( fileStream );
return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
catch( IOException caught )
{
// Return null because the file could not be opened.
return null;
}
}
