Li, I didn't give you the correct information. I was thinking about
something else (I'm doing that alot lately :| ) I actually don't know how
to do what you are looking for. You might try the FileIOPermission class,
or start there anyways.

Hi Li

When you go to the newsgroup

microsoft.public.dotnet.general

to the thread "ridiculous" it is on the top when you start at todays threads

There is discussion and also information about your question.

Or READ ONLY or in a READ ONLY directory--if on a network, this is VERY
possible.
 
One solution may be to check the timestamp of the file. If it's changed then it can be considered as available again.
