  • msdn1 I think you are looking at the wrong function, see link:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb540534(VS.85).aspx

    HANDLE hFile = CreateFile(_T(“my.xml”),GENERIC_READ,0,NULL,   
        OPEN_EXISTING,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);   
          
    if (hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)  {  
        printf(“Failed to open file\n”);   
    } else {  
        // do reading..   
        CloseHandle(hFile);   
    }
