300 Pts: List of Locked files in C#
Hi,
We would like to list the files that are locked by users and also the count of locks.
The existing code we have is something like this:
Set fso = GetObject("WinNT://" & strServer & "/LanmanServer")
For Each r in fso.Resources
on error resume next
rsNew.AddNew
rsNew("Path") = r.Path
rsNew("Name") = r.Name
rsNew("LockCount") = r.LockCount
rsNew("User") = r.User
rsNew.UpdateBatch
end if
end if
Next
How do we do this in C# ?

Here is a link to a similar Q&A https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21346144/Convert-vbScript-to-C.html

Thanks for the link.
we have implemented it and have a couple of queries.
THis is the output that we have got
ADS PAth
CLass Resource
Parent
Name: 1692
Path: D:\Websites\MyWebsite
User: MyUserID
LockCount: 0
Schema WinNT://DomainName/Schema/
Here can you please etll us what this "Name" contains and why are we getting an integer value everytime?
And somehow the lock count does not seem to be working.
We tried opening a shared file in 2 other systems.
Are we missing something here?

Is this a web application?
What do you get when you look at the "Shared Folder\Open Files" item the Computer Management MMC
There are two kinds of locking mechanisms used in Windows... one for network shares and one for the file system itself. So, for example, if I have a file open and locked on my local PC, it will not show up in the "Shared Folders\Open Files" list. This would also be true for ordinary web applications since the user doesn't have a process running on the server... instead everything is being run as the IIS account (and therefore local).

This is a web application but we are showing the list of shares on the network.
If we select a share, then we are supposed to display the list of files that are open and also display the number of users who have opened that file (Lock Count).
Will this code not work for this scenario? If not then any idea on how to proceed?

I don't see why it wouldn't work as a web application.... are the shares on the same server as the web server?
What about the answer to the previous question, on what do you see if you check the user/locks "manually" via the Shared Folders\Open Files? Do you get the answer you were expecting? Does it match what the program provides?

ASKER
ok .. I'm not aware of how to do it manually..? pls let me know if u have an idea .. I may get some clues from that then..
on the server... right click on the "My Computer" icon, select the "Manage" menu item. From there you drill down to "System Tools\Shared Folders\Open Files".
ASKER
great got that ... thanks ..
one more question and then I think I can proceed ...
We are using Active Directory "WinNT://Server/LanmanServ
But out here we are getting the error that the service/workstation is not running (its giving some other error now so dont quite rememebr). Do you by any chance have any idea as to what I need to do to enable Lanman serer?

Actually we tried net start LanmanServer and it says the service is already running. But we still cannot access the Lanmanserver through ADSI... help!!

Pls close the question. I am still looking for an answer. What about the all the points..?
An expert posted a comment. You IGNORED it.
How someone would know that you still need help?
What is wrong with the last suggestion?

hmmm actually we are still working on it. Maybe once i get some more leads and then probably get back with more queries. Actually can we leave it open .. i'll have some queries in the next couple of days..
And you needed a month AND a reminder just to tell the expert that you work on this?

all apologies .. been struck up here on other issues .. just getting back to these old ones!
Any update here?
ASKER
not yet ..
apparently the code is just about working but I may need to look at seeing whether this is possible by invoking the Management console .. will keep you updated ..
