How to implement guide with asynchronous file i/o in .net 5 - 'the operation has timed out'
Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm working with a question with asynchronous file I/O operations in my .NET 5 console application. I have a method that reads a large text file asynchronously, but I'm getting a 'The operation has timed out' exception after a while. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```csharp public async Task<string> ReadLargeFileAsync(string filePath) { using (var stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read, 4096, FileOptions.Asynchronous)) { using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream)) { return await reader.ReadToEndAsync(); } } } ``` I call this method from my `Main` method like this: ```csharp static async Task Main(string[] args) { try { var content = await ReadLargeFileAsync("path/to/largefile.txt"); Console.WriteLine(content); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine($"behavior: {ex.Message}"); } } ``` I checked the file path, and it seems valid. The file is quite large (around 500 MB), and my application runs on Windows 10 with .NET 5.0. I tried increasing the buffer size in the `FileStream` constructor, but that didn’t resolve the scenario. Additionally, I've ensured that there are no other processes locking the file. Has anyone experienced this scenario or can suggest a potential fix? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
