Hi
I am trying to understand what the lock feature does in vb.net.
I am using a text file.
I have created an instance of the filestream using fs and I am using the
following line:
fs.lock(0, fs.length)
When I set this up using the function instead of name spaces, it locks me out
of bring it up in notepad (which is the desired result).
But when I use the fs.lock method, it doesn't seem to accomplish anything.
Can someone explain what the .net lock feature is suppose to do and maybe would
you have some sample code I could see to make sure I am using it correctly?
Thanx if anyone can help!!!!!

Joe,
I'm a little unclear here - and maybe are others... Can you give some
example code and be a little more concise as to what your issue/question
is?
Thanks

Thanks for responding..... ...basically I am trying to figure out how to use the
namespace lock feature of dot.net.
I want to lock a text file while modifying it during the run of a program and
then unlock it after I finish modifying it. I don't even want someone to be
able to read it in a text editor during that time. I hope this clarifies what
I am trying to do.
Thanks again!

Hi,
2 questions:
1. I want to read a file in without locking it, as it is Log file.
2. I want to be able to read from the last point it wa read upto.
The project is:
Search through ftp log files for certain files download to our ftp site.
This will be on a schedule so I would like to pass to my database the point
(in bytes) where I have read upto. Then next time I check it I want to only

I am trying to get multiple threads to lock specific regions of a file.
However, since each thread has the same PID, it appears that a lock by
one thread does not block another thread from the same process.
How does one maintain file locking between sibling threads?

I know how MySQL table locking works, but that won't work in my scenerio.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
