I am trying to copy a file that was uploaded to a temp directory and
when I try to copy it I get the following error:
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another
process"

I have closed all associated objects with this file and I am just trying
to move it to a new folder. Here is my code from the sub I am trying to
do this with. This code is from an asp.net codebehind page.

Sub SubCopyFile()
'On Error Goto ErrRoutine

Dim lstrFilePath As String
Dim lstrNewFile As String
Dim lstrOldFileName, lstrNewFileName As String

lstrFilePath =3D ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("FilePath")
lstrNewFile =3D Replace(gstrPostedFile, "raw", "proc")

'move and rename file to the proper directory
If Directory.Exists(lstrFilePath & "Uploads\" & gstrICcode & "\POS")
Then
    lstrOldFileName =3D Trim(lstrFilePath & "Uploads\" & gstrICcode +
"\Upload\" & gstrPostedFile)
    lstrNewFileName =3D Trim(lstrFilePath & "Uploads\" & gstrICcode +
"\POS\" & lstrNewFile)

    Trace.Write("Old File " & lstrOldFileName)
    Trace.Write("New File " & lstrNewFileName)

    Dim lFile As New FileInfo(lstrOldFileName)

    lFile.MoveTo(lstrNewFileName)

    lFile.Delete()

    'Rename(lstrOldFileName, lstrNewFileName)
Else
    Directory.CreateDirectory(lstrFilePath & "Uploads\" & gstrICcode
+ "\POS")

    lstrOldFileName =3D Trim(lstrFilePath & "Uploads\" & gstrICcode +
"\Upload\" & gstrPostedFile)
    lstrNewFileName =3D Trim(lstrFilePath & "Uploads\" & gstrICcode +
"\POS\" & lstrNewFile)

    Trace.Write("Old File " & lstrOldFileName)
    Trace.Write("New File " & lstrNewFileName)

    Dim lFile As New FileInfo(lstrOldFileName)

    lFile.MoveTo(lstrNewFileName)

    lFile.Delete()

    'Rename(lstrOldFileName, lstrNewFileName)
End If

Exit Sub
ErrRoutine:
Dim errHandler As New clsErrRoutine()
errHandler.SubCatchError("GrowerUpload.aspx.vb", Err.Source, Err.Number,
Err.Description, "")
Err.Clear()
errHandler =3D Nothing

End Sub

Thanks,
Darren

have you tried putting lFile = nothing in the appropriate places?

I am actually getting my error on the line I try to do the .MoveTo
before I can set the lFile =3D Nothing. When I try to delete the file
manually from windows explorer, I also get an error saying another
process is still using the file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I use this same code and same process for other files and it works fine,
just this file seems to have trouble when I am done processing it and
try to move it to a permanent directory.
