[RESOLVED] Deletion of current image impossible as it is being used by another process

[BartH_NL]

It's amazing how tenacious System.Drawing is in keeping its grubby grip on the image. After some experimentation, however, I found a more concise way to do it:

        Dim img As Image = Image.FromFile(filename)
        PictureBox1.Image = New Bitmap(img)
        img.Dispose()

        'and now this works!
        IO.File.Delete(filename)

But it doesn't work if you comment out the Dispose statement (or Using ... End Using). I wonder why...?
