Until now we did not see a better solution in this newsgroup, than to check
if it exist using "file.exist" and than to set the open (construct) in a try
and catch block, which is itself in a do until loop and than to use a
threading.thread.sleep in the catch block of that when it is not readable.
That is almost before VB6 time of coding what is done in that sample.
In VBNet I can type it here so simple it looks for me, so not tested or
whatever
\\\
dim sr as io.streamreader
If File.exist(mypath)
Do
try
sr = new io.streamreader(mypath)
exit loop
catch
threading.thread.sleep(1000)
end try
loop
else
messagebox.show(mypath & ": does not exist")
end if
///
I have already seen these solutions. I need a solution that does not
involve attempting to perform an action and seeing whether an exception
occurs. Using .NET or API calls (yuck!), I need to a) ascertain whether a
file is in use and b) find out what user or process is using them.
