VS 2010 How To Check Whether Files Are Being Accessed Before Do Directory.Delete

Apr 5, 2012

I'm copying over some files to a target directory on a daily basis.Before I move the new files over, I'd like to delete the old files under the target folder, possibly using System.IO.Directory.Delete()But my problem is, the target folder is on a public drive where everybody in the company could access, and I don't want to empty the folder while someone else might be using those files.I'm thinking whether there's a Class that check the status on the files in a specific directory before I come in and delete everything.(I know I would get an IOException if I disregard the status of the files and try to delete them)

VS 2008 Delete File In User Specific Directory?

Dec 16, 2009

what is probably a very stupid and basic question, I'm new to Visual Basic I currently coding a program which deletes specific files that are part of a game. It finds and deletes all the files in the "program files" directorys but there are also certain files in My Documents that must be deleted.

The problem is the filepath to My Documents includes a username which is unique to different users, meaning on any other pc the program will not work.

The path on my computer is: C:UsersShaneDocumentsElectronic Arts

How can I get the program to find this folder on other computers? I'm totally lost.
