There are several ways to open files. This should open a file locked by log4net:
FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(strFileName,FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read,FileShare.ReadWrite) ----- Original Message ---- From: "Price, Randall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Log4NET User <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 5, 2007 9:24:21 AM Subject: RE: FileAppender+MinimalLock not working as expected - Correction! Here is the code to open and read the log file: StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(strFileName); string strData = sr.ReadToEnd(); sr.Close(); txtData.Text = strData; As you can see I am not doing anything complex, just opening the file and reading the contents into a TextBox.
