Hello UT,

I have a function to read the content of a file (a log file) but the file is currently opened by another process... so I get the exception
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"

Is there a way to read the file content even if it is being used? (I can open the file with Notepad!)

here's the code I use

        Dim objFileStream As FileStream
        Dim objStreamReader As StreamReader

        Try
            objFileStream = New FileStream(strPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)

            objStreamReader = New StreamReader(objFileStream)

            Return objStreamReader.ReadToEnd

        Catch ex As Exception
            Throw
        Finally
            If Not objStreamReader Is Nothing Then
                objStreamReader.Close()
            End If
            If Not objFileStream Is Nothing Then
                objFileStream.Close()
            End If
        End Try

Thanks in advance,
Alex
