[Visual Basic] Public Enum FileShare [C#] public enum FileShare [C++] public enum FileShare
[JScript] In JScript, you can use the enumerations in the NGWS frameworks, but you cannot define your own.
A typical use of this enumeration is to define whether two processes can simultaneously read from the same file. For example, if a file is opened and FileShare.Read is specified, other users can open the file for reading but not for writing.
