    Locking Files

    Hi
    I am trying to understand what the lock feature does in vb.net.
    I am using a text file.

    I have created an instance of the filestream using fs and I am using the
    following line:

    fs.lock(0, fs.length)

    When I set this up using the function instead of name spaces, it locks me out
    of bring it up in notepad (which is the desired result).

    But when I use the fs.lock method, it doesn't seem to accomplish anything.

    Can someone explain what the .net lock feature is suppose to do and maybe would
    you have some sample code I could see to make sure I am using it correctly?

    Thanx if anyone can help!!!!!
