Board index » Visual Studio » File Open and/or locked on Network- second request

Visual Studio1
Is there a way to determine if a file is open and/or locked on another

computer on the network. If so is there a way to remotely close it?

Depending on how it was open you can try to open it yourself for exclusive

reading and/or writing within error handler. In case of error you can make a

conclusion that the file was open with a corresponding lock (check for file

existence and permissions first).

I don't think you can close it if it is already open by some other process,

which you don't control.

This seems to do what you want. I don't know how they do it. They usually

use undocumented API, services and drivers made on-the-fly to do these

things:

Not quite I want to know if a file is opened by another machine on

another machine on a peer-to-peer network
