    File.Move??

    I am using the File.Move method to move a file from one location to another...

    But when I try to run it I get exception saying that the "moveto"-file is in use by another process... how can it be used when it doesn't even exist???????? I assume that the move method creates a new file... I am totally confused...

    kind regards
    Henrik

    ps Are there any other methods I can use for deleting and moving files excemt the ones in the File-class??? ds

    It complained that the "target" file didn't exist.. and of course it doesn't...

    I'm having this same problem. Would you mind sharing how you resolved it?

    Thanks

    I simply forgot to close the streamwriter/reader handle before removing file. In that case it was still "in use" and couldn't be removed...

    kind regards

    Thanks for the response. I am closing the file but still get this error. I must be missing something else.

    thanks
