Thank you, Tim.
The portalocker code seems to prevent reading while the file is locked for
writing, but it doesn't seem to prevent multiple writes (nor multiple
exclusive locks, for that matter).

Hi all,
I'm working on an application that will be used by several users at the same
time. The user should be able to both read and write to some data file
stored on our file server. My question is: how can I prevent that one user
writes to the file while another user is reading it?

I actually only need the "bar" part (instance methods). I added the "foo"
part to generalize the question without really thinking it through first.
Still, it has gotten me more information than I ever imagined. So thanks

I've been writing an application containing a lot of settings which can be

myDestBox = myNS.GetDefaultFolder(6)
oItem = myDestBox.Items.Add(0)

Nope, same problem. I think TJG might be right, and our server probably
doesn't have IMAP running (yet).

Are you saying it's unsafe to do that? I only need this for an application

webmail.
