C# - Closing And Disposing A Locally Declared Streamwriter - But Still Getting File Use By Another Process Exception

Dec 20, 2011

Am trying to achieve a couple of things: merge a bunch of individual text files into a combined file, move the files that were combined into a new folder. I have assigned each of these tasks to a method. Something in the first method is hanging on to the file, even though I am closing and disposing the stream reader - but I can't figure out what. I know that a process from the first method is hanging on to the file because when I comment out the first method, the second method moves the files without a problem.

EDIT The first method is returning a value for new big file. This is passed as a parameter to the second method. When the second method tries to reference this file, that is when the program throws the error (5th line from bottom) Most posts on SO advise closing/disposing IO objects, but I am already doing that. They also advise using a third party tool to investigate what process is hanging on to a file, but I already know that it is the first merge method (because when it is commented out the program runs).

Asp.net - Find Locally Declared Procedures And Methods In A Webform Code Behind (GetMethods)?

Mar 6, 2009

I am trying to get a subset of locally declared methods in a webform code behind using GetMethods but cannot figure out the proper BindingFlags settings (see code below)....and some further specific questions:

1) Is it possible to differentiate between Procedures and Functions?

2) Furthermore, I only want to fetch a certain subset of these....is there some way I can decorate the ones I want with an attribute, and then further filter based on that?

Private Sub LoadFunctions()
Dim thisClass As Type = Me.GetType
For Each method As MethodInfo In thisClass.GetMethods(BindingFlags.Instance Or BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly)

Closing Application Via X Button Without Closing Forms Inside Mdiparent Causes Exception Error

May 3, 2010

Form1 is a mdi container. It has a bunch of forms that can load inside of it as mdi children. If I close each open form inside the form1, and then click the red X at the top right, application exits fine.If I click the red X without closing the forms inside I get: An unhandled exception of type 'System.CannotUnloadAppDomainException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Error while unloading appdomain. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131015) However I can break from it. How do I get the application to not show that error? What must I do to fix those inside forms or close when the red x is clicked?

Exception While Disposing Multilevel Databinding?

Jun 4, 2010

I'm building an application in VS2008 (VB) and SQL 2005. I'm using databindings to bind controls to LINQtoSQL objects. If I bind a 'third level' property that can be null I get "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: component" error while disposing the control.

I remove the datagridviewcomboboxcolumn from the datagridview and dispose it. When I go to dispose of the datatable that is the datasource to the comboboxcolumn an ArgumentOutOfRangeException is thrown from the datagridview.

File Not Closing - Process Was Working Fine Prior To Adding The Code?

Feb 22, 2012

I'm reading a file and then closing it with the following code, but my problem is later when I start a batch process it says the file is still in use. Am I doing something wrong in closing it? The process was working fine prior to my adding this code to read the file.

[code]...

This rexx exec is trying to write to the file that I read from in the prior step before creating a PowerPoint presentation, but fails becuase of the lock.I'm at a loss. I should qualify and say the process actually starts, but fails in the rexxexec after it starts, it isn't failing on the process start the rexx exec issues a message that it can't write to the file becuase it is in use.

Unhandled Exception - File In Use By Another Process

Jun 12, 2011

I am writing a program that creates a file and attaches it to an email. I use a loop to create the attachment, send the email and then do it again with different information in the attachment. This works well for one tim through the loop, but on the second time through I get an error when I try to open the file for output to create the new version of the file. I get an unhandled exception of "The process cannot access the file 'c:ProjectArticles1Article.txt' because it is being used by another process.". How can I release the file from being used once the email has been sent?

XMLTextReader IO Exception (File In Use By Another Process)

Dec 15, 2011

I'm trying to build a program updater based around downloading XML files from a server. The idea being that the servers XML file contains the current version number and installer location. the updater either gets dumped in the startup folder or gets installed as a service, etc. The program successfully reads and parses the current version xml file and it successfully downloads the xml file from the server.

However when I try to parse the newly downloaded file from the server I get the error:
'IOException was unhandled'
'The process cannot access the file 'C:Program Files (x86)TestServerVersion.xml' because it is being used by another process.'

The code is as follows with the error marked by a comment on line 52:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml.XmlTextReader
Imports System.Net
Module Module1
[Code] .....

It's still work in progress but there's not much point in writing code to download and execute the installer if I can't work out the location of the new version. In case it's of use here is the XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<VersionConfig>
<AvailableVersion>2.0.0.0</AvailableVersion>
<ApplicationUrl>http://192.168.2.226/EPI/2.0.0.0/</ApplicationUrl>

Visual Basic IO Exception: File Cannot Be Accessed Because It Is Being Used By Another Process

May 20, 2012

I have been searching throughout the forums and have yet to find an answer that will work for resolving the above problem in my program The exception is occurring within the declaration of a new streamwriter and after the closing of a previously used streamreader that accessed the same file I'm trying to write to. I think that the file is completely closed at the end of the streamreader block, but I cannot tell for sure.

This bit of code is the block just before the streamwriter declaration and the declaration itself:

Dim fn As Integer = 1 'first number for searching for file

Form Closing And Unhandled Exception

Oct 19, 2011

I am inheriting my class from a form that has a handler for FormClosing (it's overridable so I can override it and do MsgBox("Ha") there before calling the base method). In my Shared Sub New() I have:

' Add the event handler for handling UI thread exceptions to the event.
AddHandler Application.ThreadException, AddressOf Application_ThreadException
' Add the event handler for handling non-UI thread exceptions to the event.
AddHandler AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException, AddressOf CurrentDomain_UnhandledException
'For Console applications you should use the System.AppDomain.UnhandledException event
AddHandler Thread.GetDomain().UnhandledException, AddressOf CurrentDomain_UnhandledException

If I throw an exception in my form outside of a try/catch I am noticing two different behaviors: If I am using the VS debugger I get an unhandled exception and it seems that my unhandled exception handler is called. The formClosing event handler does not seem to be called. If I am NOT using the VS debugger then the FormClosing Handler is being called but the Unhandled Exception handler isn't called. Ideally I would like (in both cases) to have the Unhandled Exception to be called and then the FormClosing event handler to be called.

VS 2008 Closing A TcpListener Without Getting WSACancelBlockingCall Exception?

Aug 17, 2009

I have a background thread that sits waiting for new clients to connect to my TcpListener and when a new client connects it passes it off onto another worker thread and then loops straight back to waiting for another client. Like so:

[Code]...

Obviously I could just handle the exception and ignore it but I'm sure there must be a more proper way of doing it. One thing I am thinking of trying is using the BeginAcceptTcpClient and EndAcceptTcpClient methods but for one thing I'm not sure if that will actually help and for another thing the Begin and End versions of methods have always confused me in the past... I mean for a start how do you know when to call End?

I figured this must be a fairly common problem but searching the forum only turned up one result and it wasnt any use. I'll keep playing around and trawling google but just wondered if anyone had come across this before?

C# - How To Detect Closing Of Parent Process

Apr 20, 2011

I am working on a .NET console app which needs to clean up resources on exit. The problem I'm running into is that I don't get any notification if the cmd parent is closed via the console window [X], via Task Manager/Process Explorer or programmatically with WM_CLOSE. I can live with not being able to handle Kill Process from Task Mgr. or ProcExp. WM_CLOSE of the parent console is the most likely way that this application will be closed before it's finished processing.

Here are the events I've tried to register for so far:
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit += CurrentDomainProcessExit;
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += CurrentDomainUnhandledException;
Console.CancelKeyPress += ConsoleCancelKeyPress;
Application.ApplicationExit += ApplicationApplicationExit;
[Code] .....

These events fire properly when I send a CTRL+C from the console or the application finishes uninterrupted. But none of them fire when the parent app (cmd console) is closed. (The parent/grandparent processes aren't CLR so I'm not sure I would ever receive those Disposed/Exited events. Those are just shots in the dark.) I've looked at some pInvoke stuff but I would rather not go down that road if .NET is an option. Is there a way to detect and handle a shutdown in these situations? I am open to any .NET, pInvoke/Win32/C/C++ solution. (Basically any way it can be done on the Windows platform.). I'm still working with .NET 2.0 so I can't use anything introduced in .NET 3.0+

VS 2008 Process Not Closing With Form?

Apr 29, 2010

I am working on a program and for some reason when I run it as an executable outside of debug mode, if I run the main subroutine of the program, the process remains in memory after being closed. Even though the form is closed/gone, it will be in the process list and I have to ctl-alt-del to remove it. If I exit right after opening the form without doing anything, it closes like normal. I am closing and disposing everything I can think of, and I've never had this problem before. This is how I am exiting, but the problem also occurs if the user "X's" out.

Me.Close()
Application.Exit()

I have a couple web file requests in my program, which is the only thing out of the ordinary (code-wise) for me, don't know if those are the root of the problem. I can't imagine this is the first time this has happened to anyone, but I couldn't find anything helpful with my search terms. Any ideas/common solutions? I can post sections of my code if it will help, but the whole thing is pretty long and I couldn't narrow down any potential problem areas.

Streamwriter And Strange Charactors - Opening The Streamwriter With Different Character Sets As The Third Parm?

Apr 21, 2010

I am taking in two html files and creating one out of them. To do this I am opening the first html file and not writing out the closing </body> and </html> tag and opening the second file and not writing out the corresponding opening tags, as well as the <style></style>section. I start a streamwriter, and write the lines out to it, and then close the streamwriter. My problem is that the output file is filled with strange characters. I've tried opening the streamwriter with different character sets as the third parm, but all this does is change the characters to different strange characters.It says charset=windows-1252 at the tops of the input files (and the output files for that matter - since I'm just reading stuff in and writing it out - with the exceptions mentioned above).Questions;First, do you think I am properly approaching appending two .htm files together?Second, how can I eliminate these strange characters.

.net - Closing Main Form Doesn't Finish Process In Windows 7?

Feb 23, 2011

I have an MDI form as the app start object.I don't think is related, but in the Form closing event, I check for some condition, and if it's true, I ask for confirmation before closing:

Private Sub FormBackground_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
If (e.CloseReason = CloseReason.UserClosing) Then[code].....

So long, everything works fine in my development machine, which runs windows XP.However, when deploying the application in a windows 7 machine, the message box works correctly, showing itself whenever it should, but after the form is closed the application keeps running in the background. This happens whether the form closes directly or asks the user first.I have fixed it putting an End instruction in the FormBackground.FormClosed event, but it doesn't feel good.

Closing MDI Child Form By Checking Any Process/Operation Is Running?

Jan 4, 2012

I'm developing Applications in VB.NET 2008.

I have MDI Parent Form and i'm going load all form as MDI child. Here i'm going to give option to "Close All" toolstripbutton in top of MDI Parent to close All mdi child forms.

Now i would like to check that On click of Close All Toolstripbutton , i have to close all mdi child form but except those form is on process, example, I have opened/Loaded 5 MDI child forms within MDI Parent Form.

Child forms are ( just for example ) ,

1. Customer details Form

2. Item Details Form

3. Import Orders Form

4. Stock Details Form

5. Production Entry Form

Here 3.Import Orders form is importing from Excel with 5000 records and 4. Stock details form exporting to excel.

So now if i click "Close All" button then i have close only Idle form i.e 1,2 and 5 but i should not close 3 and 4 since its on some process.

So Is there any .NET option to check that form in process/idle or do I have to check manually by having any Flags ?
