how to read opened files using vb.net

Hi,

I have written a backup solution using vb.net and C#.Net.
But, I am not able to backup the opened files, which will be skipped.
Can anyone please suggest me some idea to read and write opened files using vb.net ?

Thanking you
Regards

Seeing as how you cant write to a file thats opened. Why dont you copy the file in question then write to it?

No, Even those files can not be copied. I tried normally just copy and paste those opened files. Its not allowed.

You are obviously not telling us something important.

While I am running files, I cannot modify them but I can always copy and paste them somewhere else and use them as another file.

Open the file as Read Only...
