[code]The path is not of a legal form.You can load up the code and see for yourself. Now I need to be able to delete these images from the ListBox. The exception occurs because the image is now null, and can't load.

It now only deleted the top value of the group selected int he listbox and not all of them as it did before.

I'm experiencing a wierd problem deleting some .csv files. Any .csv files named 1.csv, 2.csv, or 3.csv will not delete using delete() method of system.io namespace. if i do any number greater than 3 it works. For example, 4.csv, 5.csv, etc. works fine. 1.xls, 2.xls also is ok. The error it is throwing in my log is 'access to the file is denied.' Nothing is using the file. I even copied a new file into the directory and it does not work. I even created a 1.csv in a totally different directory with no luck. What is going on with this? Has anyone ever experienced this?

I have made an employee list and linked it to an Access database. The initial problem I was having is that in my program I had to link their ID's and names so if you click on an employee in the listbox, his or her's ID would automatically display in the textbox below. Since I did not know how to do so, I decided to make an array and store the ID and names separately while the listbox is being compiled. And so, the form became linked and adding became easy to code.But my problem came in deleting an employee. When deleting the name should be removed from the list, but this is where the order of the arrays messed me up. How do you maintain the order of the array? Here is the code I used. I dimmed 'count' as an integer and it is responsible for keeping that order.[code]You will see Staff_CodeTextBoxes etc. and info_Staff_CodeTextBoxes. etc.These text boxes (not visible to the user) are responsible for holding the data while the array takes the data from it, or adds it's own data to it.

The problem is that if I add the code to the clcik event under the listbox, it works great, but if I add the code to the click event under my delete button, it doesn't work, what I found is that under the path, if I am under the click event from the listbox when it gets to the lisxtbox.text it displays the file name, which is what I whant, but when i tried the code under the click event under my delete button the listbox.text is blank.
I have a series of large files (4GB) that when I delete takes a very long time. This only occurs on a USB drive that I have attached to my PC. If I do the same thing on the internal drive the files delete quickly. It is as if the files are being overwritten before being deleted. I am looking for some guidance or other approaches.
