Is there a way to determine if a FileStream, CryptoStream, etc. is closed or open.

 

I've tried things like:

 

If fs.Closed() = True Then
   Blah, blah
End If

 

But that doesn't work.

 

Thanks,

Ted

CanRead and CanWrite

 

I suggest checking both the CanRead and CanWrite properties. If the Stream is closed, they will both return false. If the Stream is open, I would expect at least one of them to return true, otherwise the Stream is essentially useless.

 

If Not (fs.CanRead Or fs.CanWrite) Then
   'Assume closed
End If

 

Good luck :cool:
