Hi,

Is there a way, easy or not, to retrieve the system's count of open
filehandles for a given file? I'm trying to do some resource
management, preferably in C#, but I'll use the Win32 API if I must. I
looked at System.IO.FileInfo and related System.IO.* classes, but I
couldn't find the right information. Is this information accessible?

Thanks for any assistance.

Stacy

Hi Stacy,

yes there are some ways, and a developer at our company did this, but i
didnt
looked at the applications code...sorry. But i think he used Windows API
Functions like these:

OpenFile
CreateFile
GetFileInformationByHandle (this one seems to be usefull)

Best Regards
