Hi,

I want to open a MS Word File in Read Only using C#.
I have some conditions in my code, based on that I want to open it in Readonly mode.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Regards,
Pawan.

Here you go:

Make the readOnly property as true while opening and you should be ready to go!

Hi
Thanks for your Reply

I solved myself using FileInfo Class.
i acheived this using FileAttributes.ReadOnly.
