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.
Whats happening is I run the code below and get the following error "The system cannot find the file specified". I've read that with UseShellExecute set to false that you can't use WorkingDirectory.

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]
I'm writing a little program where I select a picture through an open file dialogue. When I selected a picture I want it to overwrite the current picture and display the new image.

I have some coding which edits my text file and saves two versions, the first version removes all multiple space with one space and saves it as a text file and the second replaces the spaces with a comma and saves it as a csv file. The problem I have is however later on when I run other code using the saved text and csv files, it looks like the processes are in use. I get the following error:
The process cannot access the file 'Path' because it is being used by another process.My actual coding:
Private OpenFileName As String = IO.Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "TextFile1.txt")
Private SaveFileName As String = IO.Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "TextFile2.txt")

I have made a small program which loads a file into a listview when somebody presses the load button on the form. The user can also put information in the listview by filling in some textboxes and press on the add button.So now the weird thing is that if the user loads an empty file ( With no information in it ) and presses load on the form and after that tries to add information to the file you get a "The process cannot access the file '" because it is being used by another process" error.
The code for the load button is as followed: ( So here accountfile 2 is loaded )

I am working on a small VB application that listens for commands sent from an Android app.
One of the functions is to extract an archive. I am familiar with how to listen for the unrar process to finish, so I can display a progressdialog on the phone while the extraction is happening, and clear it as soon as it's done.
BUT ... if there is an error/alert from WinRAR, WaitForExit() never gets called because WinRAR is still sitting there open until I click "OK" on the MsgBox.
For Example ... if you try to extract a file that is not actually an archive... an alert will pop up saying "No Archives Found", and basically everything is halted on the VB app and the Android app, and the Android app just sits on a progressdialog saying "extracting..." until you manually hit "OK" on the computer.
As you can imagine, this is a problem if the whole point of your app is to NOT have to go over to the computer.
So... I am wondering if there is something similar to WaitForExit() that will wait for an error and allow me to close out the alert and let the process end.
Here's my Sub for the UnRar command:
Private Sub UnRar(ByVal WorkingDirectory As String, ByVal filepath As String)
Dim objRegKey As RegistryKey
objRegKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("WinRARShellOpenCommand")

I have a very weird problem. In the constructor of my class, I create a new directory if it doesn't exist. After that the method Debug is being called from another class.

edit: It get the same error if the directory exists but the files don't. So I guess I am forgetting a important step during those if statements.
below is my procedure (the important parts).Simply, it creates a file with the client's ID number and today's date number if no file exists (and in this case, we are creating a new file).Then, it loops through all files in the folder (in this case there will only be the one we just created), and opens the files and imports the data (since we just created the file, it will be empty). In other scenarios, there could be 3 files out there in the folder with 10 records each. This procedure would open these files and import their data.The problem I am running into is when there is NO files in the folder, so it creates one. Then when it gets down to reading the files, it finds the file just added, but throws an IOException: "The process cannot access the file "C:20200_8.bocx because it is being used by another process.It happens on the line USING SR AS NEW STREAMREADER(F.FULLNAME).So I'm sure the problem is that the new file that is being created is still open. How would I go about closing it?Right now the remedy is to let the program crash, then restart and it will load just fine.

For Each lvi As ListViewItem In ListView1.SelectedItems

Path is a string that contains the selected folder path, and lvi is the text of the list view item (each item contains the icon and name of each file). It is working fine for .exe files, I was just wondering if it's JUST for .exe files...
I am parsing many files after I click the button.I want to display the process name when I parse a file. So I am going to display it as

The problem is the screen is freeze if too many files will be parsed. So designing an event to display the file name that is processed is a good idea. But I haven't any experence on it.
