Hi,
I have to update my log file (.txt) every time the program finishes uploading
files to server. Log file is written to using FileStream now. However, if
I'm reading the text file (using Pocket Word) at the time the process try
to open and write, I'll get an IOException. Anyway I can update the text
file and see the data updated in PocketWord without close/open it again?
Thanks for all your time
Eric
 
No way to accomplish this that I can think of. You might conceivably be
able to cause Pocket Word to open the file read-only, in which case it
shouldn't care that someone is changing it, but I don't think it will
'update', either.

You sure targeted a lot of groups where this message doesn't belong. What
does this have to do with Pocket PC networking, for example? Try to limit
your cross-posting. This would be fine targeted at the .NET CF group
*only*.

Sorry about the confusion, this sure is my first time on a PPC dev group.
Anyway, the reason I'm asking because I saw it works in an application. There
were a "View Log" button that open PocketWord and text data was appended
to the file, which we could see directly onscreen. From what I saw, I think
the application was developed by eVC...

Hello Paul G. Tobey [eMVP]" p space tobey no spam AT no instrument no spam
DOT com,
 
Huh? Sure, you can have a button that launches Pocket Word. There's no
reason that this would be a problem. What happens when more log data is
inserted and you choose Pocket Word from the Start menu to see what's in
there? Same as before the new log data, I would suppose. If you hit the
Show Log button again, presumably it's launching Pocket Word again...

The thing is I'm reading data line 1 to 10 in PocketWord and with a "flash"
I see document now has line 11 added in....

Hi Eric

Are you sending the txt log file across to the desktop or keeping it on
the PDA? I'm trying to get xml data files copied across
programmatically but having no luck figuring this out (I'm experienced
in c# web/windows but very new to windows mobile). If you're copying
yours across programmatically please let me know how it works?

A simple yes or no would have sufficed. I'll bugger off then, I made
the mistake of thinking you were here to share experience and
suggestions, my mistake.

Next time follow NG courtesy and start a new thread when you have a
question. Paul simply stated that your post was off-topic, which it was.
