What do you mean by locking the file? If you mean that you lock it as you open it, simply close it. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

As I see the file stream remains open . You may copy the image into MemoryStream, then close FileStream .After this you will be able to delete the file and play with the image as you want. DevIntelligence.com - My blog for .Net Developers

This code snippet reads image file, show it in PictureBox then delete image file from the disk. try { MemoryStream ms = null; FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(textBoxFilePathName.Text); byte [] buffer = new byte[fi.Length]; // read image file into stream using( FileStream stream = File.Open(fi.FullName, FileMode.Open) ) { stream.Read( buffer, 0, (int)fi.Length ); ms = new MemoryStream(buffer); } Image img = Image.FromStream(ms); // display image pictureBox1.Image = img; // delete image file File.Delete( textBoxFilePathName.Text ); //close stream ms.Close(); } catch (Exception e1) { MessageBox.Show( e1.Message ); } DevIntelligence.com - My blog for .Net Developers

If you load an image from a file, the file remains locked until you call Dispose on the image object. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
