Can't read all lines in file that being used by another process

Question

I am trying to read all lines of log file that being used by some program.

When I tried to do it I am receiving exception:

System.IO.IOException was unhandled  : file used by another process

So I searched on the web and found number of solutions:
C# exception. File is being used by another process
Read log file being used by another process
What's the least invasive way to read a locked file in C# (perhaps in unsafe mode)?
C# The process cannot access the file ''' because it is being used by another process
File is being used by another process

The common solutions are to use using to wrap the FileStream and add the FileShare.ReadWrite.

I tried those solutions but I am still receiving the exception that the file is being used by another process.

In my below code I open the file D:\process.log to make the file used (for testing) and then trying to open the file.
The exception is on row:

 using (FileStream fileStream = File.Open(i_FileNameAndPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))

CODE:

 private void openToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();

        DialogResult dialogResult = openFileDialog.ShowDialog();
        if (dialogResult == DialogResult.OK)
        {
          listView.Items.Clear();
          File.Open(@"D:\process.log", FileMode.Open);  //make the file being used
          String fileNameAndPath = openFileDialog.FileName;
          String[] fileContent = readAllLines(fileNameAndPath);
        }
}

private String[] readAllLines(String i_FileNameAndPath)
{
    String[] o_Lines = null;
    int i = 0;
    using (FileStream fileStream = File.Open(i_FileNameAndPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
    {
        using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(fileStream))
        {
            while (streamReader.Peek() > -1)
            {
                String line = streamReader.ReadLine();
                //o_Lines[i] = line;
                i++;
            }
        }
    }

    return o_Lines;
}

use an overload of File.Open in your menuclick event handler like this:

File.Open(@"C:\process.log", FileMode.Open,FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite);

The last param is a value specifying the type of access other threads have to the file.
