Hi!

I'm working on a log reader and i access the logfile with a FileStream. If
the logfile get's flooded it might be that the logfile is locked when i try
to open it for reading. The Open method throws an exception. What i want to
do is to check if the file is locked before i try to open it so that i can
take the proper actions.

How can i check if a file is locked ? The FileStream class doesn't seem to
support this or atleast i cant find it in the msdn doc.

Feedback is appreciated.

/Kai
