who open my files

[James]

At times due to 3rd party software limitation, passwords are stored in some
text or ini files.

i want to know what are the classes or methods to use to "prove" that file
is OPEN, not necessary changed.

When a file is open, i want to write to event logs or send email to the
owner.

i know how to write services, filesystemwatcher, etc, but i want to know
what is the best way to "check" that file is open by "who and at what
timestamp"

kindly advise

does anyone have a answer >?

James,

I do not have any experience in this, but here are some hints that may
help you get a little further. The .NET framework is not going to have
what you're wanting. You'll need to use PInvoke and some Win32
functions to accomplish what you're wanting.

Good luck!
