vinu

1) .NET version?  2002, 2003, or 2005?

2) What are you trying to accomplish here?

Bob

Bob, Not sure about the year (2003 ??). I'm using .NET Framework version 1.1

What I have is a windows form containing a web browser control called AxWebBrowser1.
AxWebBrowser1 contains an htm file which is located on the local disk (C:).

If I open and modify the htm file in notepad, I cant save it due to a sharing violation:
   "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

vinu,
There isnt any code yet, except for:
AxWebBrowser1.Navigate(MyUrl)

I ran a test with AxWebBrowser and this code:

   Me.AxWebBrowser1.Navigate("file://c:\temp\temp.html")

It let me open the file in Notepad and save it.  What does your URL look like?

Bob

Mine's the same format - looks like this:
AxWebBrowser1.Navigate("file://" & App_Path & "\reports\492.htm")

I've tried different drives and folders, also to no avail.
Security on the htm file is set to "Everyone", full control.

What are the rights for the folder?  Rights are cumulative and are the most restrictive settings, so if you have defined rights at a higher level, there is a set of effective rights.

Bob

I'm no expert on security, but I dont think that it. I've been trying many folders that I use regularly, as well as new test folders.
The original htm file was created manually. I've since also tried creating and reloading the file programatically from the actual application itself.
I am only able to save the htm file when I stop debugging.

Well, I can't look over your shoulder and figure this one out, so I am depending on you to describe your environment as fully as possible.  There is always the FileMon utility from Sysinternals.

Bob

Hang on - I've found the problem - I still dont know how to resolve it though..

Another piece of code is running in the same sub that loads the htm file. When I comment it out it works. So it looks like the commented code (below) is still keeping the file/stream open.
How do I close the stream?

    'Dim MyUrl As String = "file://" & App_Path & "\reports\492.htm"
    'Dim req As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(MyUrl)
    'Dim resp As WebResponse = req.GetResponse()

    'Dim s As Stream = resp.GetResponseStream()
    'Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(s, Encoding.ASCII)
    'Dim doc As String = sr.ReadToEnd()

    AxWebBrowser1.Navigate("file://" & App_Path & "\reports\492.htm")

I was planning to parse bits of the htm file for certain values, for use in the programs Form (i.e labels).
However, I could access this data another way.

Thank you!
