Maybe I dont see it or i m missing something, but is there a non generic IOException that covers file in use, or perhaps some other type of Exception? As far as I can tell, no, but wanted to see if I missed it.
Right now I am using Catch FileinUse As IOException, but its best to use specific ones if they exist.
Anyone?
Which object are you using? The StreamWriter throws an UnauthorizedAccessException when access is denied to a file.
Sorry forgot. I m using the Stream object
Dim openfile As Stream = File.Open(blah, blah..etc.)
UnauthorizedAccessException doesnt work
IOException is what gets thrown.
Yeah. I just noticed that it will tell me the 'best' one when it goes off. Oh well. Generic IOException it is then.
May be u have opened this anyehre and not closed the reference
No. Im not worried about what is causing an error. My question was about Exception types.
It is a baseclass of Exception class
and throws if we acess a file which is in use
need to be catched
Dude. I already know the answer to this. And that still isnt the appropriate answer anyway.
LOL.....Cander, I sometimes wonder was is going through the minds of some when they post answers like the above...:D
Well he was trying. I think he just misunderstood what i was asking.
ohh I just found this. Under Debug on the VS menu, hit Exceptions. You get a nice list of exceptions. Very helpful.
