Strange Problem at writing file
-
Hi, my programm reads/writes an xml file. Here is how: Open file read Close file Open file write Close file Yes,it's necessary that way. My problem is, when I open the Windows Explorer (WinXp sp2) and look into that folder, after some time i get an exception that the file is openend partially by an user. This happens EVERYTIME at the same codeline: doc.save(myfile) (doc = xmlDocument). Why is that happening? Can i prevent that? If not, how can i handle that exception, without Thread.sleep loops? Please help me!

Ah, just looked like you did. is this being done in < .NET 2.0?

Are you using the old xmlreader and xmlwriter? If not then why do you "open, read, close" then "open, write, close" ?

I'm using the xmlDocument Class. When i want to save with xmlDocument.save() that error happens
Im willing to bet that you've not disposed properly of the stream when you open the file, hence when you come to write it there is already another process holding onto it (ie, your own program from earlier on during the read op)

once you call the load() method the file should no longer be accessed... Again I don't see why you "open, load, close" then "open, write, close" You should be fine with it in ram after you load it. "open, load" do your other stuff "append new data, close"

I tried it. But it doesn't have an effect. Here is my code at the moment:
//some loop
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(FullFilePath);
.......//do sth.
doc.Save(FullFilePath); //<-There the error happens
//end of loopDoes it error if you try to write to a different file path? (one you know you have write access to)

//end of loopHi, if you want write or delete access (anything other than read access) to a file that just got created (by yourself or someone else, does not matter), chances are you will find the file is being accessed by some other process, and your access is not granted. Yhe other process very likely is some server code that is there to assist you somehow. Candidates are: - anti-virus software (Norton, McAfee, whatever) - indexing software (Google Desktop, MS Office, whatever) The common thing is these packages are looking all the time for new files, so they can inspect them. Microsoft is aware of the consequences; Windows Explorer will try rename and delete attempts up to five times (with one second interval), and only reports failure if the action continues to fail for that time. The solution: 1. either use a different file name 2. or remove all background reader candidates (bad idea) 3. or implement the retry loop as Explorer has it (use a Windows.Forms.Timer for this) :)

1. and 2. are no solutions for me. I have to try 3. I think. I hoped i don't have to use a timer :(
