Telling if a Process is writing to a file

Phil A

Hi,
Is there any way with .Net to tell if another process is
writing to a file and to more explicitly to obtain a
notification once that process finishes with the file?

If not, can I do this with win32 via interop? If so can
you give me a pointer (as I know nothing about win32)?

The best idea that I have had so far is to use the
WaitForChanged on FileSystemWatcher, but this isn't as
clean as I would hope.

Thanks in advance,
Phil

See if NetFileEnum might help.

My mistake - NetFileEnum doesn't do locally open files.
