Hello All,

I am trying to copy a file from my local folder to the network folder.
When i copy a file to the network for first time i am able to copy the file, if i try to copy the same file again i get a error saying " the file is being used by another process".
Do i need to dispose or flush anything before performing the same copy operation again.

Thanks and Regards
Ron

Yes, you have to close the source stream.
You can use:

C#

using (Stream sourceStream = File.Open("mySourceFile.data"))
{
  using (Stream targetStream = File.Create("myTargetFile.data"))
  {
    targetSteam.CopyFrom(sourceStream);
  }
}

(The "using" will ensure that "dispose" is called when the block is left, equal whether an exception occurred or not)

(See here for the "CopyFrom" extension method: "Copy a Stream with Progress Reporting"[^])
