File is used by another process

Question

4.00/5 (2 votes)

See more:

My input to form is ZIP file.
Then I unzip it using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll and read some Test.txt file in it.

But after I Unzip it, I try to read Test.txt and the application throws the error "File is used by another process"

This means when unzip process is in progress the application is trying to read Test.txt file.

What should I do ?
How do I wait till file is successfully unzipped.

I tried with Thread.Sleep() but failed.

Any help to wait until process complete

- Thanks in advnace

It is tough to answer without looking at the code. But try to make sure the process has completed and no references (to the zipped file) are held by the SharpZipLib.
