[DOTNET] Bug in FileStream?

[Deepak Rao]

I am trying to open a file on a UNC path. The computer name in the UNC
path contains spaces. The FileStream constructor throws a "Network
access denied" IOException.

try
{
        FileStream fs = new FileStream("\\comp with
space\inbox\readme.txt", FileMode.Open);
}
catch(IOException ex)
{
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); // outputs "Network access is
denied."
}

However, if I use the FileInfo.OpenRead() to open the file, I can
successfully get a FileStream!

FileInfo fi = new FileInfo("\\comp with space\inbox\readme.txt");
Using(FileStream fs = fi.OpenRead())
{
        byte [] content = new byte[fs.Length];
        fs.Read(content, 0, (int)fs.Length);
}

Anybody faced this problem before?

Thanks

Deepak
