I don't know whether it can be done entirely within the framework, but maybe you could call out to SysInternals' Handle.exe to do the heavy lifting here?

2+1 for using Handle.exe. It would be very difficult to implement such functionality in C#: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/177146/how-do-i-get-the-list-of-open-file-handles-by-process-in-c – Darin Dimitrov May 03 '09 at 09:54

Parsing handle output can be a simple and clean choice. Thanks :). – Ricardo May 15 '09 at 12:27

any sample (and real) source code in C# using Handle.exe ?? @Cerebrus, no thanks, only vote – Kiquenet Jan 13 '11 at 12:13
