Hi,

Is there a way to use SharpCompress and have it add files that are currently open by another application? I'm trying to create a log uploader, but it will fail if a file is currently open by another process. These are text files.

Thanks chris

use a Stream and File.Open with different FileAccess settings. This isn't unique to sharpcompress
