How to check for file lock? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can also check if any process is using this file and show a list of programs you must close to continue like an installer does.

public static string GetFileProcessName(string filePath)
{
    Process[] procs = Process.GetProcesses();
    string fileName = Path.GetFileName(filePath);

    foreach (Process proc in procs)
    {
        if (proc.MainWindowHandle != new IntPtr(0) && !proc.HasExited)
        {
            ProcessModule[] arr = new ProcessModule[proc.Modules.Count];

            foreach (ProcessModule pm in proc.Modules)
            {
                if (pm.ModuleName == fileName)
                    return proc.ProcessName;
            }
        }
    }

    return null;
}
