View 10 RepliesC# - Check For Changes In A File Launched With Process.start()
May 22, 2012I'm developing a vbnet/c#.NET based application that opens files with different applications(excel, word, etc).
The application is launched using Dim app As Process = Process.Start(ProcessProperties)
Now, when I have to terminate the process I use app.Kill() but I need to check if the document has been modified before killing it.
How can I handle that? And if it's possible, how can I launch the application native prompt for save?

VS 2010 Process Cannot Access The File Error?
May 17, 2012I 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")
Private SaveFileName2 As String = IO.Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "TextFile3.csv")

VS 2010 Check If File Is In Use
Mar 2, 2011I'm making a program in which a couple of txt files will be used for reading and writing (streamreader/writer). Incidentally, these txt files might be in use by another program, although never more than 1 or 2 seconds each time.
Suppose, I have the following
Dim Input As New System.IO.StreamReader("c:data.txt")
Data = Input.ReadLine
...more code...
[Code].....
This doesn't work though. When I open c:data.txt in another process and run my VB application, I still get the IOException.
IDE :: "Unable To Copy File The Process Cannot Access The File Because It Is Being Used By Another Process" Visual Studio 2005 Compile
Sep 21, 2007When 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.
VS 2010 Launching New Process & Detecting If That Process Has An Error Message
Nov 19, 2011I 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")

The Process Cannot Access The File Because Another Process Has Locked A Portion Of The File?
Feb 1, 2012My 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 ?

View 24 RepliesVS 2010 Check For File And Close If Not There?
Jul 7, 2010Its been requested that my project has a way to limit number of users logged in at one time. I have that figured out but there is a problem. What I have done is that when a user logins in the application creates a .usr file in a directory on the network. If the number of users (value in the database) is less than the number of .usr files another user can log in, otherwise they can not(the file gets deleted at logout or application close). Now the problem is I need to create a way that if the .usr file get deleted the application will close. Is there a way to keep a watch on file and if it gets removed close the application.

VS 2010 Check If Txt File Lines Contains Certain Text
Jul 1, 2011I have a text file with user names in them on separate lines. I want to check to see if any of the lines doesn't match the exact text im checking for. It doesn't matter what line the text is on, as long as it is in there. If it's not, alert me. Previously i tried .contains() but obviously if a user name is "hello" and another's is "helloworld" it will match both of them.So basically i need to read all the lines in the txt file and if none of them lines contains the specific text im looking for then alert me.

View 5 RepliesVS 2010 IO - Check Location Of File And Create New
May 26, 2012Is it possible to check a location for a file and if a file exists then create a new file (+1) in the file name? For example if there is no test file in the C:Temp folder then create a test.txt file and if there is one there then create C:Temp est1.txt and if there is a C:Temp est1.txt file then create C:Temp est2.txt and so on?
I was thinking
If Not IO.File.Exists("C:Temp est.txt") Then
IO.File.WriteAllLines("C:Temp est.txt" + 1, vbCrLf)
End If

The Process Cannot Access The File 'FILENAME' Because It Is Being Used By Another Process - Error
Aug 31, 2009How 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.
