I am having a problem with an application I am writing in vb.net 2003.
I display an image (JPG) on the screen using a Picturebox, loading it with
image.fromfile.
The user can select a key to delete the image.
If I try to delete it, it throws an error that the file is in use.
I tried the image.dispose() method, which allows me to copy the file and
MOST of the time delete the file, but not always. Sometimes it still throws
the in use error.
Any thoughts? Do I need to force garbage collection?
Thanks,

Tom,
The most sufficient way is for this forever to read first the image in an
image and use that image for your picture box.
If you stream it direct you have to close it and than it is gone.

I can live with it being gone, as I don't need it anymore, but HOW do you
close it?
By read it into an image, do you mean:
Dim tmpImage as image.fromfile( "c:\image.j pg")
dim tmpBox as picturebox.imag e = tmpImage
I have tried every variation of this with no luck.

That looks perfect and seems to work. I can't imagine why the extra step is
necessary, since I am doing a dispose before the delete, but.....

For whatever reason, when you open and image and load it into a PictureBox,
VB leaves the file locked until the image is no longer being used. Check out
Bob Powell's GDI+ FAQ at this address: http://www.bobpowell.net/faqmain.htm
for a better explaination.

I need a form to delete an image, in any format, that is shown in a
control(picture edit), to replace with
another image.
I tried changing the archive that is showing the control, closing the form
and then deleting the old image, but there's an error
because the system says that the archive is in use.
I need to replace this image, someone knows a way to close conections to the
archive, or something like this?
Thanks
