    File in use Exception

    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.

    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.

    No. Im not worried about what is causing an error. My question was about Exception types.

    Dude. I already know the answer to this. And that still isnt the appropriate answer anyway.

    ohh I just found this. Under Debug on the VS menu, hit Exceptions. You get a nice list of exceptions. Very helpful.
