deleting file - access denied Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp. Post a new message to this list... MA Hi all! I created a webservice that check folder for incoming and outgoing files. If a file exists in my inbox (incoming file) I read it and want to delete it. It looks like this: foreach(FileInfo fname in folder.GetFiles()) { if(fname.Exists) { myStream = new StreamReader(fname.FullName,Encoding.Default); string line = myStream.ReadLine(); while(line != null) { content += line; line = myStream.ReadLine(); } myStream.Close(); fname.Delete(); } It works except for fname.Delete(); I get an access denied on this. The file is not read-only if I check properties in Explorer. How can I fix this? /Marre Reply to this message...        Ignacio Machin \( .NET/ C# MVP \) Hi, Most probably another process is accesing the file. It can even be your same process ! IF you use a FileSystemWatcher it may generate more than one event for a "change" depending of what events you are using. Go to sysinternals.com and download the file monitoring tool they have, you will know what process is using what file cheers, -- Ignacio Machin, ignacio.machin AT dot.state.fl.us Florida Department Of Transportation "MA" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...

When I rightclick on my folder and choose properties, I can´t set any permissions . Is there another way? /Marre "Dalvir Singh" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address... [Original message clipped] Reply to this message...        Dalvir Singh Right click on the folder and choose properties. Go to "Security" Tab (4th one). In the name list search for "evryone". If you can't see everyone user in list, then click add button on right top. In the users list appeared, search for everyone and click "Add" and then "OK." Now you can see everyone user in the security tab of properties window. Click on "everyone" user" and see permissions box below it. Under the allow, verify that Modify is selected. If no, then select it. Hope that helps. -- Dalvir Singh "MA" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...
