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.
Dim mdbFileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName
Dim objClassType As Type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("ADOX.Catalog")
Dim obj As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(objClassType)
obj.[GetType]().InvokeMember("Create", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, Nothing, obj, New Object() {"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & mdbFileName & ";"})
[Code] .....
This MDB (after all operations) is huge (+200 Mb) and needs to be deleted.

Am trying to copy contents of file temp.fxl to temp.seq. I want them to look exactly them. I don't want to copy the file though. I use the following code
Dim fs As New FileStream("c:\fxlate\output\temp.fxl", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim s As New StreamReader(fs)
[Code].....
With such simple code, the last line in temp.seq is truncated as attached and the size of the file is smaller than temp.fxl. See attached files. What do I need to do on the above code. Is VB.NET failing to write 1024 characters on one line.

I'm trying to read a csv file. I'm also try to delete all files in the temp directory on the page load. Everything goes fine the first time, but the second time I get an error saying it couldn't delete the file because it is in use by another process. I'm aware that this process is my vb file, I just can't seem to find what I need to dispose of to get rid of the file lock.
Here is my code
Imports System
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.UI.HtmlControls
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml

Is it not an inbuilt function?

' Declaration for File Recycling (from modFCOM)
Public Structure SHFILEOPSTRUCT
Dim hwnd As Integer

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.
After closing Visual Studio 2005 and reopening the solution I can compile again successfully. This is an old solution that has been fine for a long time. I just recently changed computers and reinstalled everything.I am running win XP Pro sp2, Visual Studio 2005 sp1.

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.

I try to rename a file by
file.copy(oldPathName, newPathName)
then
file.delete(oldPathName)
File.copy works.But somehow, a message saying oldPathName is being used by another process, when it tries to delete the old file.

I'm creating a sub that will run a batch file, and then delete it when it has finished.[code]...
This causes the program to immediately delete the batch file before it can run. How can I break it up so that it won't delete the batch file until after it has finished?

I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).

I'm trying to delete a file, which prompts the error: "can not delete File in use by another process". I've been researching this for the last couple of days, and have tried every possible suggestion, I've come across, but still keep getting the error. I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion on what I need to change or rearrange in my code to get around this.
The program loads a group of files into a listbox, user selects which files to process, Each file is sent through the sub (process files) to be renamed, and then processed through external programs then removed from the listbox. Each file in the list HAS to be renamed the same in order for the external program to process it. This is where I'm getting the error message, as I need to delete the previous file before renaming the new one. Parts of my code may seem redundant, but its where I was trying every possible scenario of closing the process and or stream that's leaving the file open. [Code]

Lets just say I had something like this:
System.IO.File.Create("C:.txt")
Dim SaveF As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:.txt")
Under each other. It gives me a error saying:
The process cannot access the file "C:.txt" because it is being used by another process.

To summarize, my program uses a textbox to display the chatroom from a text file on the school network. When someone sends a message, it writes that message to the text box like so:My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(baseDir & room & ".txt", Message, True)
The baseDir is where the chat files are stored, and the room that the user is in can be altered by the user. created a scroll bar to use so when the chat room reaches a certain length of lines, you may use a scroll bar to view the whole chat. I realized that when someone sends a new message, the scroll bar then jumps back to the top of the text box. Is there any way to fix this, so that it will jump to the bottom each time someone types something new?
Dim lines As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines(baseDir & room & ".txt")
Dim numLines As Integer = lines.Length
If numLines > 20 Then

I am new to VB but I do have VS2005 and I was looking at some code examples here on deleting files by days old and I need to do something similar, I would like to start a say C:myData**.xit and search through all sub folders under myData and move all the .xit files based on days old into a temp folder. Then I could verify them before I delete them manually to be safe. So how do I loop through all sub folders? and can I just modify this code to do that? Here is the code I was thinking about starting with [URL].
Dim files As System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)
Dim singlefile As String
Dim CreatedOn As Date
'Declare the counter
Dim deletedcount As Integer = 0

I have an issue using Process.MainWindowTitle,Process.MainWindowHandle on some older VB6 applications. After Process.Start I use Process.MainWindowTitle to display in a listbox. The MainWindowTitle returned is not the Window Title but in fact the Project name of the VB6 exe.? I also store the MainWindowHandle to use the ShowWindow and SetForeGroundWindow API's. It would appear that the ShowWindow API does not work, but the SetForegroundWindow does. ie: if the VB6 app is minimized, showwindow does not restore, if it is NOT minimized setforewgroundwindow sets it to the foreground. The exact same code does work correctly for any other .net exe or notepad, only on these vb6 programs I am having a problem.

The following code for installing log messages has worked on Windows 7 and XP, until I came across an XP machine where someone had deleted the Temp file under Documents and Settings/ComputerName/. Is there a safer location to install a log file?Path.GetTempPath doesn't seem to be the best idea.
Public Sub appendLog(ByVal message As [String])
Dim format As String = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff"
System.IO.File.AppendAllText(System.IO.Path. Combine(System.IO.Path.GetTempPath
, "Log.txt"), vbLf + " " + DateTime.Now.ToString(format, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) + " " + message)
End Sub
