Keeping File Open for Read and Write Before Closing

I want to open a file (simple one-data-element parameter file, data recorded
as an integer parameter value) and keep it open to read it and overlay write
it (not append). I have looked extensively through the VB.NET documentation
and can only find ways to do this by first closing and then opening again
(eg, streamreader and streamwriter).

Does anyone know a way to do this?

Thanks
