hi I get this error when trying to open some files.
Document Open Error This file was unable to be opened: - Log.txt: Access is denied (Exception from H RESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDEN lED))
Notepad can open them fine, maybe you could change the locking options when you open the file perhaps?
Code Write is an awesome and beautiful app, thankyou.
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
We're glad you like the app!
We already are using a Microsoft-provided OpenStreamForReadAsync which I believe should just be trying to open the file with read access. Do you have an easy set of steps we can do here to try and repro it and see if using any alternate file access APIs make a difference?
The other app is writing a log file using a trace listener class.
All I can tell is that notepad opens the file without issue, so there must be a way of doing it, maybe not from a modern app though!!
Hi Mike,
I was able to repro it by writing to a file from another app while trying to open the same file in Code Writer. I tried all the available file accessing API that Microsoft provides to us and nothing allows us to open it, even when we specifically request read-only access. I'm going to post in the Microsoft WinRT forum on this issue.
