protected virtual bool IsFileinUse(FileInfo file) { FileStream stream = null; try { stream = file.Open(FileMode.Open FileAccess.ReadWrite FileShare.None); } catch (IOException) { //the file is unavailable because it is: //still being written to //or being processed by another thread //or does not exist (has already been processed) return true ; } finally { if (stream != null) stream.Close(); } return false ; }
