How to attach and detach file from a filestream

[s196675m]

Hi When I create a filestream I have passed a filename in the constructor. Later on how I can detach the existing file from the filestream and attach a new file with existing filestream. thank you.

Hi, I don't think the .NET Framework offers that functionality, one (or more) FileStreams can be attached to a file but are necessarily open as long as the FileStream exists; the file has to be identified by name or handle when the FileStream gets constructed. If you want to close the file and open another one without the FileStream reader/writer feeling it, AFAIK you would have to derive your own class from FileStream and implement the extra functionality yourself. :)
