• Visual Basic File Streams

  How can i detect if a text file is already open by another process before i try to write to it. Thanks Is it your program which is locking the file, or another program If it's another program, then there's not much you can do about it. However, when you open the streamwriter with a filename directly, you will open it for exclusive access (i.e. no sharing). If you can't open it exclusively, you will get an error. Normally, I would open a file for writing, but with shared read: this will allow other applications to read it (but not write), and still allow you to write to it. ...Show All

  After I installed the Windows Media Format SDK (9.5) for Windows Media Encoder 9, I noticed the iHD Simulator won't display video any more.
