Problem Uploading an Image twice [modified]

[Britney S Morales]

Guys i get a ioexception when try to upload an image twice. Here the process. The first time that i upload the image is sucessfull. if the user try to upload the same image again , with the same name, the server will try to rewrite the image saved on the server getting a ioexception X| . The Ioexception is, the file is being used by another process :confused:. I dont know whos using the image? in order to Kill that process, (if is the asp.net process, what i have to do?). Any Suggest? :sigh:

The "who" who is using the image is probably you the first time you uploaded. Make sure that you are properly disposing of objects that you use when dealing with the image. One of them must still be holding on to the image file. I've done had this problem before when using a System.Drawing.Image object in my code to deal with a file. After you are done with it you must dispose it to get it to release it's hold on the file. This is my example: Dim x as System.Drawing.Image x= Drawing.Image.FromFile(strMyImageFilePath) x.Dispose() Hope this helps.

hi:laugh: try this code public void OnUpload(Object sender, EventArgs e) { // Create a byte[] from the input file int len = Upload.PostedFile.ContentLength; byte[] pic = new byte[len]; Upload.PostedFile.InputStream.Read (pic, 0, len); // Insert the image and comment into the database SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection (@"server=INDIA\INDIA;database=iSense;uid=sa;pwd=india"); try { connection.Open (); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand ("insert into Image " + "(Picture, Comment) values (@pic, @text)", connection); cmd.Parameters.Add ("@pic", pic); cmd.Parameters.Add ("@text", Comment.Text); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery (); } finally { connection.Close (); } } and try this link also http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/PicManager.asp regards saravanan:laugh:
