Specifies the level of access permitted for a file that is already in use.

Remarks

This enumeration is used to specify the way in which multiple threads access the same file. The level of access is set by the first thread that requests access to the file. For example, if a thread opens a file and specifies FileShare.Read, other threads are permitted to open the file for reading but not for writing.
