Commented Issue: ReadAsMultipartAsync returns result before all files have been written [282]

We trying to perform validation of the files which have been processed by ReadAsMultipartAsync, but sometimes on the attempts to open file for reading IOException is throwing, like this:

The process cannot access the file 'C:\\Windows\\TEMP\\BodyPart_abd1efe9-b1d5-4956-b79b-0519837e9377' because it is being used by another process.","StackTrace":" at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

Example code:

var provider = new MultipartFormDataStreamProvider(_uploadPath);
return content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(provider)
.ContinueWith(multiPartTask =>
{
if (multiPartTask.IsCanceled || multiPartTask.IsFaulted)
{
Trace.TraceError("Failed multipart message reading: {0}", multiPartTask.Exception);
return null;
}

// ...
// use files in the task Result
// using (var fileStream = File.OpenRead(fileName)) {}

return null;
});

When processing time is delayed by something, eg Thread.Sleep, count of the io exceptions decreased, but it's not workaround.
How can we get access to the files, when it's actually written?

Comments: Hi all. I seem to be getting this error too but zacharypierce's solution, "RetryUntilFileReadable", seems to work for me. However; should this still be happening in 4.5? I can pretty much reproduce this behaviour when needed so am happy to test alternative/official solutions. Cheers, Ben
