File::Move(..) = error

[Raiderski]

Hello!

I'm using vs.net2003 with .net1.1 and i have trouble with:

File::Move(src, dest);

and

File::Copy(src,dest);
File:: Delete(src);

I have strange message:
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
What the ****? Dest file doesn't exist before File::Move() so how it could bu used by other process? I'm 100% sure that the files aren't used by other process! Help!

Well... Are you really sure that it is not reserved by another process? Have you tried to access them manually from the explorer...

[Raiderski]

Well yes ofcourse I'm sure, beside dest file doesn't even exist! That's normal because I only want to replace src file name to the name defined in dest. File::Move(src, dest) should do that but it won't.

So I guess you are trying to rename the file? :confused:

[Raiderski]

Yep. I've looked in MSDN, there isn't Rename() function, instead is Move().

[NoHero]

Then give me your source code and/or the file name's and their access rights...

void SaveImage(TileImage* ti)
{
String* srcFile = String::Format("{0}{1}", ti->path, ti->name);
String* destFile;

int i = 1;

try {
if (File::Exists(srcFile)) {
int s = srcFile->LastIndexOf(".");
do {
destFile = srcFile->Insert(s, i.ToString());
++i;
} while(File::Exists(destFile));

File::Move(srcFile, destFile);
}

ti->image->Save(srcFile, Imaging::ImageFormat::Png);
}
catch (Exception* e) {
// handle exception
}
}

Hm... there isn't probably problem with Move() only because I also try:

Diagnostics::Process* rename = new Diagnostics::Process();
String* params = String::Format("/K rename {0} {1}", srcFile, destFileName);
rename->Start(S"cmd", params);

And still sometimes don't have access to file :/ Yes, I wrote "sometimes" because the problem doesn't occur everytime.

Whoa! I cannot believe... file is locked during loading with method:

Bitmap* img = new Bitmap(String* filename);

But when I use method:

Bitmap* img = new Bitmap(Stream*);

Everything is fine! Completly amazing :/
