What does FileShare enum do in file operations?

Question

ICSM Computer · Answer

The FileShare enum in .NET specifies the level of access other FileStream objects have to a file that is already open. It controls how multiple processes or threads can read, write, or delete a file simultaneously. Namespace Used in When opening a file, such as with FileStream, File.Open, etc. Common Syntax FileShare Enum Values Value Description None No other process can access the file while it's open. (Default behavior if not specified.) Read Allows other processes to read the file. Write Allows other processes to write to the file. ReadWrite Allows other processes to read from and write to the file. Delete Allows other processes to delete the file. Inheritable Allows the file handle to be inherited by child processes. (Rarely used) Example Use Case Why It Matters If you try to open a file that another process has locked with FileShare.None, your code will throw an IOException. Choosing the appropriate FileShare value prevents this.
