Open file in exclusive mode

I am trying to open a file in exclusive mode for writing. Is the code
below correct?

FileStream oStream = File.Open(FileN ame, FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Writ e, FileShare.None) ;

The purpose is two-fold:
1. I want no one to be able to open a file while I am operating on it.
2. If the file is open by someone else, I want the code above to throw
an exception.

Will it do the trick?
Thanks.

Can someone please help with this problem. When referring to opening a database in Exclusive mode the Access 2003 help says: "Under Default open mode, do one of the following: If you want others to be able to open the Microsoft Access database at the same time you have it open, click Shared. If you want sole access to the Access database when you have it open, click Exclusive." >From my experience and from what I have read on the...

Hi, I need to link a mdb file and make sure it opens in a non-exclusive mode. I looked for a similar post but none was answered. I know there is a specific param to add to the command line to get the mdb to open in exclusive mode (/excl). I'm looking for the exact opposite.

A97. Split database. Frontend DB1.MDB. Backend DB1BE.MDB. Tables are linked between DB1 and DB2. From my testing, if I open DB1 exclusively using /excl the backend DB1BE is not opened exclusively. If I open DB1 but have no tables open and then open up DB1BE exclusively, DB1BE will open exclusive. But if I then attempt to open a linked table in the frontend DB1 I'm informed I can't use the table because the file is in use.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
