Is there any way to read the file if being used by another process?
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(inpXMLfileAsString);

One possible solution would be to use the FileStream class in order to open the file in read only mode and pass the stream to the XmlTextReader class:
var fileStream = new FileStream("c:\\location\\file.xml", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
var xmlTextReader = new XmlTextReader(fileStream);
or using directly the File.OpenRead method:
var xmlTextReader = new XmlTextReader(File.OpenRead("c:\\location\\file.xml"));
When the file is opened in read only mode then the other process could still acces the file normally. An example would be to read a log file, while the log file is open for writing and filled by some (other) process.
Depende del modo en el que el otro proceso abrió el archivo. For example I opened this way
You can open it in other process using
But if the file is open with
FileShare.None
cant open it in other process
