Check File in C#

To check if a file is in use in C#, you can use the FileStream class to try to open the file with the FileShare.None flag, which will fail if the file is currently in use. Here is an example:

using System.IO;

public bool IsFileInUse(string filePath)
{
    try
    {
        using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.None))
        {
            // The file is not in use.
            stream.Close();
            return false;
        }
    }
    catch (IOException)
    {
        // The file is in use.
        return true;
    }
}

To check if a file is a media file in C#, you can check the file extension against a list of known media file extensions. Here is an example:

using System.IO;

public bool IsMediaFile(string filePath)
{
    string extension = Path.GetExtension(filePath);
    string[] mediaExtensions = { ".mp3", ".mp4", ".wav", ".avi", ".mov", ".wmv" };
    return mediaExtensions.Contains(extension.ToLower());
}

To check MD5 cryptography for a file in C#, you can use the System.Security.Cryptography namespace. Here is an example:

using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;

public string GetMD5Hash(string filePath)
{
    using (var md5 = MD5.Create())
    {
        using (var stream = File.OpenRead(filePath))
        {
            byte[] hashBytes = md5.ComputeHash(stream);
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            foreach (byte b in hashBytes)
            {
                sb.Append(b.ToString("x2"));
            }
            return sb.ToString();
        }
    }
}

This will return the MD5 hash of the file, which can be used to verify the file's integrity.
