how I can calculate MD5 hash for a file that is open or used by a process?
the files can be txt or and exe
my current code return error for an exe because it is running
here is my current code
public static string GetMd5HashFromFile(string fileName)
{
FileStream file = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open);
MD5 md5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] retVal = md5.ComputeHash(file);
file.Close();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < retVal.Length; i++)
{
sb.Append(retVal[i].ToString("x2"));
}
return sb.ToString();
}
Cheers.
Try opening the file as read-only:
FileStream file = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
or:
FileStream file = File.OpenRead(fileName);
That will work depending on the sharing mode of the other file handles. If the file is only locked because it is a running EXE, I think this will be enough.
If you update your FileStream constructor call to this;
FileStream file = File.Open(fileName,
FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read,
FileShare.ReadWrite);
That should allow you to open a file which is being used by another process.
