multiple open of a single file

[edel_ong]

hi! is there a way to allow a single file to be open multiple times? because in my C# application, there's always the error that states that the file can't be opened because it is already opened... thanks!

If a process has opened the file "exclusively" then other processes cannot access it. The file has to be opened in a shared mode for other files to be able to access it.

How do i do it? Is there an existing code to set an opened file to shared mode?
