Parameters

share
A System.IO.FileShare constant that determines how the file will be shared with different processes.

Return Value

A System.IO.Stream object that can be used to write data to the file.
Remarks

The returned stream is guaranteed to be writable, but may or may not be seekable.

The parameter allows you to control how the file is shared by different processes. Some specializations of the AbstractFile class may not support any or all of the values defined in this enumeration. In this case, an exception is thrown.

If the file exists, an ItemAlreadyExistsException will be thrown. To retrieve a stream on a file that already exists, OpenWrite(Boolean) should be used.
