Hi Rainer,
Thank you for the feedback.
Is your code using .Net1.1 or 2.0?
The code snippet link provided by "Michael Nemtsev" leverages the
gotdotnet code sample. The gotdotnet code sample is provided to address the
lack of file security support in .Net1.1. In .Net2.0, we have added the
build-in support for configuring the security setting for directories and
files. That's why Willy suggested you to use the build-in
System.Security.AccessControl namespace for your task if you are using
Net2.0.
In .Net2.0, setting the user rights on a file is pretty straightforward.
You may use File.GetAccessControl() to obtain the current security setting
of the file as a FileSecurity object. Then, you may use
FileSecurity.AddAccessRule() and FileSecurity.RemoveAccessRule() methods to
add or remove rules from the FileSecurity object. Finally, you can use
File.SetAccessControl() method to assign the new FileSecurity to the file.
There is sample code snippet in the link below:

Hope this helps.
