FileSystemWatcher: Out Of Memory error

[nemaroller]

Image.FromFile has an irky bug within its definition.


Use Image.FromStream instead

Private Sub FileSystemWatcher1_Created(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Created
        ListBox1.Items.Add(e.FullPath)
 
        Dim img As Image
 
        Dim fs As New System.IO.FileStream(e.FullPath,Read)
         
        img = Image.FromStream(fs)
        fs.Close
 
        'blah blah blah, do something
 
        img.Dispose()
        img =Nothing
 
    End Sub
