Thanks, Kikoz!
I liked your idea with the try...catch idea using a non-shared
FileStream to check for access to the specified file. It lead me to
some research in the SDK regarding functionality of a try...catch
block that I never knew.
Evidently, you can label the sections of a try...catch block, just
like in an "On Error GoTo x" event call. I don't think the SDK
explicitly says you can add labels to try...catch blocks, but I tried
it, and it works like a charm.
Thanks for the inspiration! You saved the day!
VB Example Code Follows:
===============================
Try
Conversion:
Dim fs As New FileStream(e.FullPath,FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Rea d,FileShare.None)
fs.Close()
Console.WriteLine("File Created: " & e.Name)
Thread.Sleep(2000)
Process.Start("some.exe", "arguments")
Catch ex As System.IO.IOException
Console.WriteLine("There was an IOException error. Retrying in 2
seconds...")
Thread.Sleep(2000)
GoTo Conversion
Finally
Console.WriteLine("Process Completed.")
End Try
