You can't. It's as imple as that.
The file must be closed, by every process that has it open, before you can delete it, move it, or rename it.

I don't know for sure if there is a way using c#. I encounter same problem with deleting files that are currently in use. You can try using the force delete of vbscript if that is applicable. It works for me.

Not even that will force-delete a file that is locked open by any process.

Files in use cannot be deleted.
But you can use this:
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
private static extern bool MoveFileEx(string lpExistingFileName, string lpNewFileName, int dwFlags);
const int MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT = 0x00000004;
static void MarkFileToDeleteOnReboot(string fileName)
{
MoveFileEx(fileName, null, MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
}

hi guys,
im listing all the running processes in a machine and put the values inside a listbox control. i want to be able to update the process/application list every, lets say 2 seconds... how can i do that? nid help asap..tnx..
|
|
|
|

try clearing the listbox before putting your items again. Drop a Timer Control and set the Interval to 2000(2 seconds) and set it to Enable=true:
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
populatelist();
}
private void populatelist()
{ /*assume that your list of proccesses are coming from an arraylist arlist*/
listBox1.Items.Clear();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
listBox1.Items.Add(arlist[i].ToString());
}
}

i am a bachelors student in Pakistan...recently i have done some work in C# concerning to image capturing and editing...so far i have been successful with the basic filter and image operations...all i wanna know is that should i contineu using the BITMAP class or should i search for any API which functions for JPEG in .Net and then move ahead with my work... eagerly waiting for reply coz i have a criticle time constraint

When you work with images, they are always in a bitmap form. Don't confuse this with a Windows bitmap file (.bmp), though. What you have in a Bitmap object is an image in bitmap form, not a .bmp file.
From a Bitmap object you can save the image to several file formats, including Windows bitmap (.bmp), JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg/.jpe), GIF (.gif), PNG (.png), et.c.
It's not possible to edit images in JPEG form, you have to decompress the image to bitmap form by loading it, edit it, then recompress the image by saving it as JPEG.

Hello
I am writing an program that will use a bar code scanner to scan products. The product code will be looked up in a database and return the details of the product to the windows form.
I have never worked with this barcode hardware before, and before l purchase some a bar code scanner. I need some questions answered.
Does the barcode scanner come with any software?
It is easy to interface a c# windows program with a barcode scanner?
Does the barcode scanner connect through the USB port?
Does anyone know any example programs where this has been done?
Thanks very much in advance,
Steve

Probably this article[^] might to of help to you.
I've just worked once with barcode scanners. I don't remember the name of this scanner nor of the used drivers but it was plugged into USB and just entered the read barcode number into the active textbox (didn't matter if it was Word, Editor or any special application). This way my application didn't need to know anything about barcode scanning - it just waited for input.
|
|
|
|
|
If you get a Keyboard wedge barcode scanner then when you scan an item the barcode numbers are simply outputed to the textbox (or other control) that has current focus. With the keyboard wedge there is no need for any specific software or drivers.
|
|
|
|
|
All of your questions depend HEAVILY on the barcode scanner that you pick. They come in different interfaces (USB, keyboard wedge, serial port) and will either come with drivers or not. The single, most important piece you need is the DOCUMENTATION that comes with the scanner. That will tell you everything you need to know about interfacing with the scanner.
You'll have to do your own research as to what is going to suit your applications needs.
Example programs, probably a few out there, but not many, simply because this is a very narrow application market. Besides, these really are simple devices to interface with. There's not much to listening for a string of information comming from them.

Hello,
Thanks for all your advice. I think the keyboard wedge would be the better one for me.

I want to have a random number between 0 and 99. In C#, how can I do?
Thanks in advance!
Hung

Easy. Use the System.Random class.
Random numberGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = numberGenerator.Next(0, 100);

(Fixed the mistake that Ethan found.)

|
|
|
|
Actually, it should be:
Random numberGenerator = new Random();
int randomNumber = numberGenerator.Next(0, 100); because the maximum random number returned will be maxVal-1.
|
|
|
|
|
You're absolutely right. I made a boo boo. My bad. 
|
|
|
|
|
Don't worry - That got me when I first used Random as well. A very badly named parameter in my opinion.

Hi, I am currently learning how to use C#. I have encountered a problem however, I want to make a program with features like adobe photoshop's tiny windows(I mean when we create a new image, a small window for image editing will appear) in the actual program. I don't know how to accomplish this task. Does anyone know how? Thanks
|

Create a new WinForm class for every different kind of "tiny window" that you'll need. You'll probably want to add public methods so that the main form can control their contents.
In your main form's class, create member variables for every tiny window that you have. Then have your main form display them "modelessly" via Form.Show().

I see two issues here.
1) Your GetRowsList() method's return type is Object, but it actually returns an ArrayList. You lose type safety because of this. It would be better to make the return type more explicit such as ArrayList or at least ICollection.
2) You're casting the returned ArrayList into a string array, which of course it is not.
Here's a solution. Why not not make the return type of GetRowsList() a string[]? You can then convert the ArrayList to a string array and return that instead. Then you can remove the the cast done in the other function.
protected string[] GetRowsList(ref SqlDataReader oReader, long nStart, long nRows)
{
ArrayList vaResultSet = new ArrayList();
return (string[])vaResultSet.ToArray(typeof(string));
}
