is there a way to see if the drawing and or database is already open before using ReadDwgFile?

[Humbertogo]

with FileShare.Read

This is the way I  check to see if any file is open before working on it.

Code: [Select]

private bool IsFileLocked(FileInfo file)
        {
            FileStream stream = null;
            try
            {
                stream = file.Open(FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.None);
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                return true;
            }
            finally
            {
                if (stream != null)
                    stream.Close();
            }
            return false;
        }

Then call it like.

Code: [Select]

if (IsFileLocked(new FileInfo(dwgName)))
{

}
