How to replace or delete the image that has been used by another process previously u

1 New Member
Hi,
I'm using web cam to save,update the image in base directory folder.I can save the image but, while attempting to update the image..I caught an error!!

C#.Net:
The process cannot access the file 'C:\..~..\bin\D ebug\customer_p hotos\10.jpg' because it is being used by another process.

..?
Thanks in advance..

You have not posted the code concerned, but the error message is indicating that whatever process you are using to save the file the process has not been cleanly completed. You may still have an object or other variable linked to that file which is still in scope resulting in Windows being unable to release the 'in-use' lock placed on the file during the copy. Can't really say any more without seeing the code.

I faced this problem a lot when I was trying to create and then overwrite the contents of a text file, I had forgotten to do tw.close(); when I created it initially so the text-writer was permanently linked to the file holding it open, so step one would be sure you closed off the creators, even if it isn't the problem its good practice and saves on resources! but as posted above some code would be useful for a better diagnosis

I'm creating a debug class called debug_mem_allocation for the purpose of finding memory leaks. I used macro's to replace the new and delete operators. My problem is with trying to replace the delete operator with a macro. I can't replace the delete operator by using void* as the first parameter, because then my code will not be able to modify the calling function's pointer, nor would it get the source file name and line number.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
