Hi,
I have a problem that is sporadic and am thinking it may come down to
a timing issue. I have an asp.net (vb) app that used the
system.io.file. copy method to copy a .pdf file from a network drive to
the local server drive. From there I use that .pdf file to create
another .pdf file using a tool from ActivePDF. The problem I have is
that one out of 8 or 10 times I get an error:
Access to the path "c:\ActivePDF\w atever.pdf" is denied.
This is the file I just copied from the network and am trying to use
for something else.
If I try it again, it usually works right away. Since it usually
works, I can eliminate any permission issues, and wonder if it is a
timing issue.
I thought that the file.copy method was synchronous so it will finish
its copy before moving on to the next bit of code. I then looked at
the indexing features of the folder the file was being copied to and
made sure that indexing was turned off. I have not, however,
eliminated ActivePDF from being the problem child.
Thanks for any ideas.

Hi,
Thanks for replying (twice). I made a couple of changes programatically
that may have solved my problem.
1) I removed a loop, that because of other reasons, I no longer needed.
2) I removed a random number generator I was using to come up with a
unique file name and added time stamp. I may be crazy, but It seems to
me that the random number generator in .net is not all that random.
I have run about 50 tests without getting the error. Still more testing
to go, because it was sporatic in the first place, but hopefully, that
did the trick.
Thanks
Brian

FYI - The GetUniqueFileNa me method of Toolkit will generate a truly
unique filename for you. That method also works for simultaneous
unique name creation across processes and threads.

OK...I'm in the process of learning C++. In my old (non-portable)

Coming from the C++ world I can not understand the reason why copy
constructors are not used in the .NET framework. A copy constructor creates
an object from a copy of another object of the same kind. It sounds simple
but evidently .NET has difficulty with this concept for some reason. I do
understand that .NET objects are created on the GC heap but that doesn't
mean that they couldn't be copied from another object of the same kind when...

Hello all,
I am waiting for receipt of files in a directory. I use the
FileSystemWatcher to detect when files arrive in said folder. I need
to read the data from these files ASAP but the files are created and
detected before writing completes and so I cannot read them until the
file handle used in their creation has been released.
This would be easy to get around with file renaming or other file
locking mechanisms which I could use...

I am loading a text file to a variable with XMLHttpRequest()
There seems to be some sort of timing issue since loadXML (source code below)
returns the contents of the file on seconds try. In Firefox I get an empty
string. No errors are reported.
If I look at the code with Firefox debugger (Venkman) everything works fine. I
should probably put a loop somewhere to check when loading the file is finished.
