Hi,

My program, when it runs creates a couple of files for its usage. Inside my
exe, I want to check if it has the permission to access/modify a particular
file or folder. Is there any way to do that? For a text file, I removed all
the permissions for all the users and in my code, I tried creating a
FileIOPermission class with the FileIOPermissionAccess.Write for that
particular text file and called its Demand method. It succeeded without any
problem. But when I tried to open that file for writing, I promptly got the
security access violation exception.

Can anybody help me in checking the available permissions on the resources
before actually working on them?

Thanks in advance,
Arun
