[Solved] How to read log from log file as it happens [closed]

by


When I do such file access/manipulation I usually take care of two things.

First, for reading I use the following code (see FileShare enumeration):

using (Stream s = File.Open(path, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite)) { ... }

Second, I usually write a while loop for opening the file for reading/writing like this (draft code):

int tries=0;
while (tries < 10) {
    try {
        // try to open file for your operation
        break;
    } catch (IOException) {
        tries++;
        Thread.Sleep(200);
    }
}

EDIT: Accidently I used FileShare.Read first time in my answer instead of the more appropriate FileShare.ReadWrite. Now I’ve corrected it.
