Re: Find out if other process is accessing a file?

If you attempt to open the file and get an exception, another process is
using it. Use a try/catch block.

Hi

Is it possible to find out if another process is using a paticular file
(xml)? There does not seem to be anything useful in the File och
Filestream class for this purpose.

Carl
