  2.         {
  3.     foreach (FileInfo INF in WABdir.GetFiles("*.spl"))
  4.             {
  5. // do something with the stream reader and writer
  6.  streamreader1.Close(); //closing file reader
  7. sw.close(); // closing file writer
  8. File.Move(INF.FullName,@"D:\LIDOArchive\WAB\Accepted Messages\" + INF.Name.Replace(".spl", "") + "_" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString().Replace(@"/", "") + DateTime.Now.Hour + DateTime.Now.Minute + DateTime.Now.Second + ".spl");
  9. }
  10. }

why it keeps getting this error, is there is something i should write to make the program wait like 300 milsec to let windows release the file or what.
also i get more than 800 files at once and i use the thread.sleep(1000) but still get that error the funny thing that there is no files stocked in the folder they all moved but error exists how is that any ideas??

Are you protecting against re-entry in your event handler?
The process that has the file in use might be your own!
