OK, here's the code, with a bit of explanation. I appreciate any help!
In the main routine I call a method to perform the transformation,
followed by a method to transfer the generated file via FTP:
sErrorMsg = objRecipient.Tr ansform();
sErrorMsg = objRecipient.Ou tputToFTP();
The Transform() method is as follows:
internal string Transform()
{
if (dsResults.Tabl es.Count 0)
{
// Convert to XML
string xmlResultsFileP ath = String.Empty;
XmlDataDocument xmlResults = new XmlDataDocument (dsResults);
string xmlResultsFilen ame = Path.ChangeExte nsion("Data", ".xml");
string xmlResultsFileP ath = Path.Combine(re pository,
xmlResultsFilen ame);
xmlResults.Save (xmlResultsFile Path);
// Determine the path to the installation
Module mod = Assembly.GetExe cutingAssembly( ).GetModules()[0];
string fullPath = mod.FullyQualif iedName;
string myInstallPath = Path.GetDirecto ryName(fullPath );
// Transform each output object
for (int i = 0; i < outputs.Count; i++)
{
Output o = (outputs[i] as Output);
// Create the XsltSettings object with document() and scripting
enabled
XsltSettings settings = new XsltSettings(tr ue, true);
// Execute the transform
XslCompiledTran sform xslt = new XslCompiledTran sform();
xslt.Load(Path. Combine(myInsta llPath, o.Transformatio n),
settings, new XmlUrlResolver( ));
xslt.Transform( xmlResultsFileP ath, Path.Combine(re pository,
o.OutputFilenam e));
}
}
return String.Empty;
}
The OutputToFTP() method is as follows. It uses an Indy component to do
the FTPing (the code is pre-.NET 2.0):
internal string OutputToFTP()
{
for (int i = 0; i < outputs.Count; i++)
{
Output o = (outputs[i] as Output);
if (o.OutputToFtp)
{
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(Path.C ombine(reposito ry,
o.OutputFilenam e));
if (fi.Exists)
{
FTP indyFTP = new FTP();
try
{
indyFTP.Host = o.FtpHost;
indyFTP.Usernam e = o.FtpUsername;
indyFTP.Passwor d = o.FtpPassword;
indyFTP.Connect ();
indyFTP.ChangeD ir("in");
indyFTP.Put(Pat h.Combine(repos itory, o.OutputFilenam e),
o.OutputFilenam e, false);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return String.Format(" Error: {0} " +
"when trying to FTP to: {1}. ",
e.Message, o.FtpHost);
}
finally
{
indyFTP.Disconn ect();
}
}
}
}
return String.Empty;
}
If the filestream is still open this suggests a problem with the
Transform() method (though the code was converted from an example in
the VS Help).
Thanks in advance,
Stuart.

But isn't it odd that the file can be copied locally, or attached to an
e-mail?
I'll post up the code just as soon as I'm back from my holiday!
Thanks

Sounds to me like you aren't closing the filestream after you finish writing
the file.
If you want, post a short-but-complete code sample and somebody will verify
it for you.

I have a Windows Service that retrieves some data as XML, applies an

This all works fine. Depending upon the configuration, this file is
then
1. copied to another location
2. attached to an e-mail message
3. FTPed to a particular location

Problem is that the FTPing is failing with the "being used by another

I assume that the file has finished being written as steps 1 and 2 are
successful. If I try and delete the file manually through Explorer I'm
unable to do so - until I stop the Windows Service.

Why does the Windows Service appear to keep a handle on the created

Any help is greatly appreciated.
