I have to open a files for reading, which is currently being used by another

Try to open the file in read-only mode it should work. Even in notepad
if you try to save the opened document it won't let you.

Hi Sam,
If the file can be opened by Notepad then you should be able to open it in
your program too. Specify that you only need to Read the file and Share
it.
Simply using File.OpenRead() might work, or you can do a more complex
File.Open Method (filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read ,
FileShare.ReadW rite)
(Not entirely sure what would be the best FileShare selection, you might
want to try the various options).

Happy Coding!

Hi,
I'm just trying to play a *.wav file, making use of the unmanaged function
"sndPlaySoundA" in winmm.dll, but I still got one question: How can I avoid,
that the sound file itself has to be seperate file in a specific directory,
but instead 'integrate' it in my application?
Thanks

I'm using PHP 4.4.4 on Apache 2 on Fedora Core 5. PHP was installed
using Apache's apxs and the php library was installed to

Hi. I'm writing an archival system which I'd like to be portable
to Windows.
The system relies on the property of Unix which allows a
process to keep a file open even if another process renames
it while it is open. Neither process sees any anomaly or
error.
Do the NT file systems support this feature (which I think is
standard for POSIX systems)?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
