Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to place a lock on a text file,
while opening in write mode so that no other processes/threads can even read
the file until current process is done and releases the lock?

TIA,
RP

dim f as New IO.FileStream("c:\foo.txt",IO.FileMode.Open,
IO.FileAccess.ReadWrite, IO.FileShare.None )

Until f.close, you have exclusive acess to the file.
