I have a file open with File.Open(give me all access rights, etc.).
After I read all the data and before releasing my lock on the file, I
want to delete it. I don't want any other processes getting access to
the file after I've read all the data and before I delete it. Any
ideas on how to do this? Currently I'm using the FileStream.SetLength
member to truncate the file to 0 bytes. I then delete the file after
releasing the lock. That's not quite perfect.
