Wite and Read to same file ERROR ?

I'm using StreamWriter to write to file and at the same time I'm using the
StreamReader to read from the same file.
Doing that cause an exception when I'm trying to create the StreamReader
when the file is already opened fro writing by the StreamWriter.

How can I write and read at the same time to the same file?

Thanks

Thats because StreamReader already opens the File as Read&Write exclusive
(although is can only read from the file, I posted this as bug to MS but
they said they won't solve it for some reason I don't understand).
You have to use another method for opening the file for example File.Open so
you can read&write.

Hi Everybody! I have 2 different processes/application. One is writing to a file and another is reading from it. For some reason the code doesnt seems to work and gives mscorlib.dll IOException error "This file is being used by another process". Both the applications are in C#. P.S. Even if I try to open the file with NotePad (while my server is writing data in the file)it gives the same error.

What i want actually is that when i right click on an element in my HTML file, select "properties" and then build the style of that html element, i want that the details about the position, colors and all other parameters of the style will be held on the corelated CSS file and that VS will define a class name automaticly. what i am doing now is to copy the style properties from the HTML tag to the CSS file manually. Thanks.
