Hi As far as I know, Application 2 when opened by someone else, will get up to the last update, but not the one being current written in Application 1.
I'don't think there is any way to open Application 2 and the user to see the update as it happens, simply because Application1 is separate, and will cache the response until completed then update Application 2 >-- Original Message -- >To: <[email protected]> >From: "Helge Thomas Hellerud" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2005 17:17:52 +0100 >Subject: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] Reading a text file that is in use >Reply-To: [email protected] > > >Hello. > >I have two applications: > >1: Opens and writes content to an existing text file. >2: Opens and reads the content of the file, written by application 1. > >If application 2 tries to read the file when it is opened for writing by >application 1 - what will happen in application 2?
