Never, ever, ever try to bind an open datareader to a form, while the data reader is open the connection is locked.

Change from using datareader to datatable (uses a datareader under the hood) and it should all fall into place

Thanks Mycroft

Am trying to avoid using Datatable because of Performance. That is why i wanted to use a datareader.

Thanks

You must have an extroadinary amount of throughput to be able to detect the performance difference between reader and table or is it theoretical peformance difference.

So presumably another process is writing the file to the location, I am assuming you are trying to read it while some other process is still writing. Build in a delay for x seconds the first time you see the file and try again.

Hi,

I get the same error. I'm using a FileInfo object with a file name passed to the constructor upon creating the FileInfo object. I check if the file exist and if so I delete it and recreat it. Al works fine first time but when I click on the button again to do the same functionality over again I get same error mentioned. The is NO close method on the FileInfo object nor Dispose. I tried the Refresh() in desprate attemps but still error. Please see a snipplet below:

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(label2.Text + ".TMP");
if (fileInfo.Exists)
{
fileInfo.Delete();
}
fileInfo.Create();
int y = 0;
}

Hello!

I know how to do extension methods and I'm pretty sure I could teach my cat to do them too, but is there a way to somehow have one external method, and use it in several different projects simply by referencing the file it is contained in? Would this be done in a class file ir DLL file? I'm pretty new to this stuff, and would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks for readin'.

Either way could work, to be honest. It's up to you whether you want the overhead of an extra DLL, or you're happy having the code included as a link.

if your connection string is like this

add name="conn1" connectionString="string1"

ur access will be like this.

string conn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[conn1].ConnectionString;

indicates you have a problem with your connection string. Probably an invalid path for pare.db Try putting in the fully qualified path as this will be looking in the folder where the exe is created (debug).
