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

'move and rename file to the proper directory
If Directory.Exists(lstrFilePath & "Uploads\" & gstrICcode & "\POS")
Then
    lstrOldFileName = Trim(lstrFilePath & "Uploads\" & gstrICcode +
"\Upload\" & gstrPostedFile)
    lstrNewFileName = 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 = Trim(lstrFilePath & "Uploads\" & gstrICcode +
"\Upload\" & gstrPostedFile)
    lstrNewFileName = 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 = Nothing

End Sub

Thanks,

Does anyone know how to find out what process is holding a file or
another object that I want to do something with but can't because
another process is holding it? I want to find a way to either know the
identity of the process holding or a way to kill it so my code can
finish with what it needs to do.
