I have an application A that generates a text file for tracing.
While, an application B needs read the same text file and attach in a mailmessage.
But I get the following error, when application B try read the text file:
IOException: The process cannot access the file 'filename' because it is being used by another process
Any suggestions ? Maybe better use for FileMode and FileAccess?
Application A
if (File.Exists(nFile2)) File.Delete(nFile2);
traceFile2 = File.Open(nFile2, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite);
if (traceFile2 != null)
{
var twt2 = new TextWriterTraceListener(traceFile2);
// http://www.helixoft.com/blog/archives/20
try
{
if (twt2.Writer is StreamWriter)
{
(twt2.Writer as StreamWriter).AutoFlush = true;
}
}
catch { }
var indiceTraceFile2 = Trace.Listeners.Add(twt2);
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("INICIO: " + DateTime.Now.ToString());
Application B
using (FileStream fileStream = File.Open(f, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.Read))
{
var messageAttachment = new Attachment(fileStream, Path.GetFileName(f));
msgMail.Attachments.Add(messageAttachment);
}
