FileSystem.MoveFile - System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Hello All;
I have a file move issue that only started because I had to take a sub-folder on my site, and [convert to Application]
Here is a portion of the code I am using.
For Each postedFile As HttpPostedFile In filMyFile.PostedFiles Dim getfile As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(postedFile.FileName) Dim FileToMove As String Dim MoveLocation As String GlobalVariables.savepath = Context.Server.MapPath("../Media/Temp/") GlobalVariables.MovePath = Context.Server.MapPath("../Media/") FileToMove = (GlobalVariables.savepath & getfile & ".mp3") MoveLocation = (GlobalVariables.MovePath & strPath & "/" & getfile & ".mp3") If System.IO.File.Exists(FileToMove) = True Then My.Computer.FileSystem.MoveFile(FileToMove, MoveLocation) ' <<<< ERROR POINTS HERE End If
The code was working correctly until I changed the sub-folder to [convert to Application]
Once I did that, I received this error.
Permissions are correctly given for the folder, so it does not seem to be a permissions issue.
I used Windows Resource Monitor.
Chose the CPU tab.
Searched for mp3 in the [Associated Handles]
Here is one line from the results of the search
Image PID Type Handle Name
w3wp.exe 12272 File G:\InetPub\wwwroot\mysite\Media\Temp\03112020223702438.mp3
I read that I needed to close the opened file.
I tried to do.
mp3.Dispose() ' did nothingfilMyFile.Dispose() ' did nothing
