Hi,
My very simple application VB.NET Visual Studio 2003 console application
uses a log file to write some text to it. I am using StreamWriter object to
create and open and then append text to the log file. Now what happens is
that if i have the folder in which the stream object creates the log file
open in windows explorer, i can see that it creates the log file but then it
crashes, strnage , can somebody tell me how i can stop this from happening.
Below is the function that does it. Seems it crashes at the line where i have
********. Also this error occurs only when the log file does not exit. Once
it has created the log file and the application is restarted, then there is
no problem even if the folder is open in windows explore.
thanks,
The error message is :
"System.IO.IOEx ception: The process cannot access the file
"C:\projects\vb .net\saga\test\ sagalog.txt" because it is being used by
another process."
The function code is :
Public Function WriteToLogfile( ByVal Text As String) As String
Dim logfile As StreamWriter
Dim Logfilepath As String =
ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs("LogFilePat handName")
Dim File As File
Try
If Not File.Exists(Log filepath) Then File.Create(Log filepath)
*************** logfile = New StreamWriter(Lo gfilepath, True)
'"SAGALogfile.t xt")
logfile.WriteLi ne(Text)
logfile.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Finally
'logfile.Close( )
End Try
End Function 2 3371
I can only guess that because File.Create() returns a FileStream, when you
go to write to the file, you get the IOException.
When you create a new instance of the StreamWriter class, if the specified
file name doesn't exist, it will be created. And, of course you are flagging
to append to the file if it exists (hence why it works the second time you
run it).
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Brendan.

File.Create returns a FileStream. You have not yet closed it.
In fact, you can remove the whole line:
If Not File.Exists(Log filepath) Then File.Create(Log filepath).
The StreamWriter will create the file for you it it is not there.
Hope this helps,

I'd like to save some settings that are in integers and then save some lists

I'm starting by trying to save two integers: numRows and numCols.
I put a saveFileDialog in my design view. When it's clicked I do this:

Hi All,
I am working on the situation where 2 different
Process/Application(.net) tries to open file at the same time....Or one
process is updating the file and another process tries to access it,
it throws an exception.
How to solave this problem? So second process can wait until first
process completes its processing on the file.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
Here's some work in progress that should allow you to run a batch file as a

but the target may not have either.. Essentially it's just a wrapper for the
Process class and a command interpreter.
Warning, it only partly works. I had wanted to pass in

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
