Release MS Access LDB Lock File After Created It?

Feb 17, 2012

I have difficulty in removing the LDB generated by the "CREATE" method of ADOX in the following code segment.Aims: Create (on the fly) a new access database and then export data (says Arena modules) to that newly created database.

Expected: The newly created access database should be able to be used by some external operations, say Access.exe, after the end of the subroutine and without exiting the current VB program.

1) I tested that the "Arena code" do nothing about the create/release of the ldb file.

2) I tested the "Exclusive Mode" in connection string, but the access file is still locked by the vb program.

3) I tested under both inside the VB environment, and directly invoke the generated from Explorer, and same results.

4) Other database formats is not the options to me. (due to Arena export limit)

5) It is not a web app.

Code:

Sub Method1()
Dim logs As New System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)
Dim arenaApp As Arena.Application = Nothing
Try

[code]....

Platform:

Windows 7 64bit, Office 2010 (32)
VB 2010 express
Lib: MS ADO Ext. 2.8 for DDL and Security

.net - Release A File Lock On A COM DLL That Has Been Instantiated Via `CreateObject`?

Dec 21, 2011

I have a .Net 4 WinForms app that generates a DLL, calls CreateObject on the generated DLL then calls one of several methods that the DLL contains. The DLL is eventually used by a separate app. This WinForms app is just to generate and test the DLL hence why it can generate the DLL multiple times.The problem lies in the fact that calling CreateObject on the DLL locks the file to the process. The next time the DLL is generated it can't overwrite the previous DLL file on disk without closing the app completely and starting it again.

I've tried Marshal.ReleaseComObject, executing the CreateObject in a separate AppDomain, even setting the variable holding the COM object to a different COM object via CreateObject, manually calling GC.Collect() and a whole host of other things but none result in unlocking the file.The code flow is basically (simplified and generic names, etc.):

...
' Compile and generate DLL that is COM enabled and works fine
...
Dim foo As Object = CreateObject("Bar.Foo")

[code]....

is there a way to release a file lock on a COM DLL that has been instantiated via CreateObject without killing the process?

Note: this is a continuation of this original issue. I now have the DLL registering without locking the file but now the issue is with the CreateObject call not the DLL registration.

Create Txt File And Write To It Without Access Denied Lock?

Jan 24, 2012

1. I have to create a file. 2. Then I want to write a string into the text file.

I can do part 1 no problem with: File.Create(strFilePath) But when I try part 2 to write to the file it won't allow this as it's still being used:

sw = File.AppendText(strFileName)
sw.WriteLine(strCode)
sw.Flush()
sw.Close()

My code in part 2 works fine on a file that hasn't just been created.

How do I release the file from the File object?

There doesn't seem to be a .close or .flush option.

.net - Inter Process Reader Writer Lock (or File Handles And Access Denied)

May 8, 2009

We needed an inter-process reader/writer lock.We decided to use a file and lock the first byte using LockEx and UnlockEx. The class creates a file in the system temp folder when it is created. The file is created with readwrite access and share read|write|delete.We also specify DeleteOnClose so we don't leave loads of temp files laying around. Obviously AcquireReader and AcquireWriter call LockEx with appropriate flags and ReleaseLock calls UnlockEx.We have tested this class using a small application that you can run several instances of and it works perfectly. The application that uses it has a problem, which we have managed to re-produce in another small test app. In pseudo code it is

Create InterProcessReaderWriter
Dispose InterProcessReaderWriter without acquiring any locks
Launch a child process which takes a reader lock

The first time this runs, it works fine. If you attempt to run it again, while the child process from the first time is still holding the lock, we get an UnauthorisedAccessException when trying to open the file.This appears to be a permission issue, not a sharing violation but all the processes in this test case are running as the same user.

Access Objects On A Dynamically Created UserControl An A Dynamically Created Tab Page?

Dec 5, 2011

I can usually find the answers to most of my questions via the Google Gods, but not this time.I have a form that has a TabPageControl and on that page a collection of labels and text boxes via a usercontrol.

On the form I have a button that allows the user to create a new tabpage, when the code adds a new page, it automatically adds the UserControl collection. I can't get my head around how to access the objects on the newly created tabpage.

What I need to be able todo is take the index of the tabpage that has focus and translate that against the UerContol name, but I havn't a clue how to do it!

Can't Delete My Release File?

Mar 31, 2009

I made a .exe file of my project (in vb2008 express ed.) and it was all working and then I copied the release file out of my project and an error came up (something about UNC share) and i realized the path was wrong, so when I tried to delete the Release file (currently on my desktop) a pop up message says you need to be administrator to delete this file so I press continue (as I am the administrator) and another message comes up saying "You need permission to do this" "Try Again?", when I click "Try Again" the same message comes up. I know this isn't directly involved with VB, which leads me to my second issue:

How can I create a file that is external from VB yet it still works? In my code there is a path that connects it to SQL is it perhaps something to do with that?

TiffBitmapDecoder Release File?

Mar 9, 2009

I have a system that scans in images to multi page tiff files and allows the user to preview before finalising. When the user previews,they click on the page number which should then use the TiffBitmapDecoder to read that particular frame in from the Tiff file and display the BitmapSource in an Image control...this works just fine. The problem comes in when they scan another page which is then inserted into the tiff file. The tiff file is returning that it cannot be accessed as another process is using it. How do I get the TiffBitmapDecoder to release the Tiff file?

ASP.NET Wait For File Upload/release?

Jul 21, 2010

I've got ASP.NET intranet application written in VB. It gets a file from the user, and then depending on a few different cases it may create a few copies of the file as well as move the original.

Unfortunately I've come across a case where I get this error:

Exception Details: System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file
'\somedirD09_03_5_180_0.000-6.788.png' because it is being used by another process.

Which is thrown by My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile. And that's fine that it's being used by another process - it may still be saving/downloading from the user or trying to copy while another thread(?) is copying, I don't really care about that, what I want to know:

Is there any way that I can tell VB to wait to copy (also move) the file until the file is no longer in use?

Combine All Release Files Into ONE .exe File?

How can I combine all of the output Released files into just a single .exe file? Like for example I have these file extensions: .exe, .pdb, .vshost, vshost.exe, vshost.exe.manifest, and then 2 xml files that have to do with my program.

So once again I am trying to get all of these files into possibly one file. Do you know how when you go into your Windows Program Files folder, there are none of these files. I am basically trying to do the same thing.

1 IDE Won't Release File Locks On Referenced DLLs

Mar 20, 2009

I develop an application through two multi project solutions.There is one solution for the data layer stuff and another one for the front end stuff.All the dlls are referenced in a startup project and have copy local = true. So the build output from the GUI solution and the dlls referenced from the data layer solution should be copied to this startup project's bin folder. This seemed to work without issue for some time, but after changing source control, after a rebuild of the data layer solution, I clean the GUI solution and get the following output: [code] I have researched this problem and it seems microsoft are aware of a problem, logged under MSB3061... but no solutions have been posted by MS. Several users have suggested stopping the indexing service from indexing bin and obj folders (I've done this). I've also ensured that none of the bin/obj folders are under source control. I downloaded FileMon from sysinternals and it says that devenv (GUI) has the file locks.

VS 2008 Could Not Lock File?

Jan 20, 2010

I've searched high and low for an answer so I'm hoping someone can help me out and I hope I explain what is happening ok. I have a number of people testing an application and one of them in particular is running into this error repeatedly. The error does not happen on my machine or almost any other. I know it is in relation to database usage but what I can't figure out is why the user only gets the error after the database has been called x number of times (and closed each time its done being used) as opposed to why the program doesn't crash the first time the database file is accessed.

The database is in MS Access and here's some pertinent info from the code - and the error is not subject to any particular database call...it just seems that after so many hits to the database its had enough and it crashes.

[Code]...

Like I said, why would the code work on almost all other machines (he's got a newer machine too and has tried both XP and Vista machines) and if there is something about his system why does is successfully call and use the database for awhile but then crashes out seemingly after a certain number of uses of the database file? I know it is not a specific call to the database because the area the application typically crashes for him at can be bypassed by changing some of the options available to the user - when he cuts back on the options used the program simply crashes at a later point in the process.
