title: Can I simply 'read' a file that is in use?
body: <p>I am trying to use a StreamReader to read a file, but it is always in use by another process so I get this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The process cannot access the file
    '\arfjwknasgmed17\C$\FLAG
    CONDITION\CP-ARFJN-FLAG.XLS' because
    it is being used by another process.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is there a way I can read this without copying it?  Or is that my only option?</p>
