The Process Cannot Access The File 'FILENAME' Because It Is Being Used By Another Process - Error

Aug 31, 2009

How can i access a file through FileStream which is being used by a window service. Actually i am trying to access a file which is also being used by our window service. I need to read data from this file. I am using below code but also getting following error:

Code:
Dim fs1 As IO.FileStream = New IO.FileStream(psPath, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read, IO.FileShare.Read)
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = New IO.StreamReader(fs1)
sData = sr.ReadToEnd

Error: The process cannot access the file 'FILENAME' because it is being used by another process.

I tried changing FileShare.Read parameter to FileShare.None but it didn't work out. I also read below post which says that it is not possible but i think there is a way to read it like if you open a file through Firefox but still window service is accessing it.

File I/O And Registry :: Filename Currently Being Used By Another Process

Jun 11, 2009

I get the common error: " 'File Name' is currently being used by another process..."

My problem is that I have two forms. If the file doesn't exist in the one then it creates the file and opens up the other form, if the file exists it doesn't do anything, however, in the other form that it opens up I have it "attempting" to write text via StreamWriter. But my problem occurs when the StreamWriter tries to open the file for writing, that is when the program tells me that the file is currently being used by the other process.

In my first form I close the form via Form.Close and all I am using to create the file is System.IO.File.Create. Now I know that the System.IO.File.Create is causing the error because I have this process checking the very first thing on the program load. I am trying to find a work around the System.IO.File.Create but no luck here... I am trying to create a .txt ... lets say test.txt .

When I load my solution and compile it after first starting the IDE, everything works as expected. After changing source and recompiling, I get the following compile error:

Error 11 Unable to copy file "objDebugCAMDRS.Library.dll" to "binCAMDRS.Library.dll". The process cannot access the file 'binCAMDRS.Library.dll' because it is being used by another process. CAMDRS.Library.

The Process Cannot Access The File Because Another Process Has Locked A Portion Of The File?

Feb 1, 2012

My program writes to a .txt file (and this is the ONLY program that writes to it) in a thread (with lowest priority), but every now and then it gets an error "The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file" when it executes this code: swLog.WriteLine(sPacket).Other program reads from the file, not write to it, why do I get this error, and how can I get around it, or what shall I do when I get this error since I can't write to the file ?

C# - Kill Process Started With System.Diagnostic.Process.Start("FileName")

Oct 2, 2010

I am trying to create an app that will perform actions on specific times (much like the Windows Task Scheduler). I am currently using Process.Start() to lunch the file (or exe) required by the task. I am initiating a process by calling a file (an .mp3) and the process starts WMP (since it is the default application), so far so good. Now I wan't to kill that process. I know that it is normal behavior for the Process.Start(string, string) to return nothing (null in C#) in this case. So I am asking how can i close WMP when I called it through Process.Start(string, string)??

Cannot Delete File - Used By Another Process?

May 28, 2010

I am facing a problem which I believe is due to the garbage collection within .NET. I have the following conundrum where I am getting files from a folder, adding them to and array and then converting them all into one file. Once this is done I move this new file elsewhere, and need to delete the previous files.

VS 2005 - Cannot Delete TEMP File (Being Used By Another Process)

Mar 23, 2010

I am trying to create an MDB as a temp file to save some tables and query them. After creating, I can't delete it ... Even before it is actually used. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

[Code] .....
This MDB (after all operations) is huge (+200 Mb) and needs to be deleted.

The Process Cannot Access The File 'C:UsersJoshuaDocumentsTest1.txt' Because It Is Being Used By Another Process

Dec 4, 2011

The process cannot access the file 'C:UsersJoshuaDocumentsTest1.txt' because it is being used by another process.Now the Problem. When i step through my code, it will do as intended, e.g. clear all contents of test1.txt. when i run it at run time it throws this error. The reason for it throwing an error is the text file is reading string, int, string, and the txt file has a string including in the int part, so i'm making it so you can empty a corrupt file.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start When File Is Not Associated?

Nov 30, 2009

I'm using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start to open a file using a string stored in a SQL datatable. It works absolutely fine as long as there is an application on the local machine associated with the file type. If there isn't an association, what happens is the "Save as" dialog box pops up. What I'd like to happen is to just bring up a message box or some other prompt that tells the user what the problem is, and to contact the helpdesk. Some users will be confused if they see a "Save as" dialog box, I think.

Folder-monitoring Windows Service Gets "process Cannot Access The File Because It Is Being Used By Another Process"

May 26, 2009

I have created a Windows service in VS 2005 that monitors a folder for XML files, reads some data elements from the XML using XmlDocument, then copies the files to another location. I find that when I drop 2 or more XML files into the folder simultaneously, it processes them with no problems, but when I drop the same files into the folder one at a time, I will get an error on the second file: "The process cannot access the file <my file> because it is being used by another process." If I stop my service, restart it, and drop the second file into the folder again, it works the second time. I am confident that no other program is accessing this file at the same time as my service. My impression is that the processing of file # 1 is somehow not releasing all of the resources, leading to the processing of file # 2 mistakenly thinking that it can't access that second file.

C# - Process.Start Dirquota.exe - The System Cannot Find The File Specified

I am now doing:

foreach (var fi in new DirectoryInfo(@"C:WindowsSystem32").GetFiles())

This outputs pretty much every file in that directory apart from dirquota.exe.

Executing Compiled Jar File From .NET (System.Diagnostics.Process)?

Trying to integrate the google closure compiler in a batch job of mine and having difficulty getting it to work.Using command prompt I can enter the following command and get my scripts compiled. (The command is a self explanatory example)

java -jar "compiler.jar" --js_output_file="myOutput.min.js" --js="input1.js" --js="input2.js"

I have tried to replicate this using the System.Diagnostics.Process object but thus far have failed.I have tried

Dim command As String = BuildCommand(CompilationScripts, Me._Output)
Dim process As New Process
process.Start("compiler.jar", command)

And I have tried

Dim command As String = BuildCommand(CompilationScripts, Me._Output)
Dim process As New Process
