Currently, I'm using a Generic handler like receiver.ashx & openFileDialog to select a single file from my desktop and Upload it onto the Server . The Uploading works fine. My Silverlight 4 app. is currently, running in default mode and NOT in OOB mode.
But I get an exception, when I try and Upload a file ( say for e.g. a word .doc file ) which is already open by the Word application. This is causing me a lot of grief. I use file.OpenRead() like in some of the articles published here. I googled about this issue and there are lot of people talking about the same issue, But none of those suggestions have fixed the issue till now.
I thought, someone might have come across this problem already, since this is one thing a good QA person would never miss. If you have resolved this issue earlier, pls. give me some pointers.

What I wanted to say is that, I'm getting an io exception error, and unable to read, file.OpenRead(), that word .doc file. and hence can't move forward with uploading the file, while the file is already opened in Word application. Have you ever faced this problem, in an upload program in silverlight. Many have written Upload programs in silverlight using generic handler or wcf, but did not see anyone mention this issue, like I have in this forum.
