hi,

I'm trying to write to a file using ASP.NET. I use this code:

Dim x As New FileStream("C:\FileName.txt", FileMode.Append)
Dim y As New StreamWriter(x)
y.WriteLine(TheText)

When I run the program I always get this message:

"System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file "C:\FileName.txt"
because it is being used by another process"

Anyone know why this is? Even if I change FileName to a file that doesn't
exist I get this message.

I got this before, trying to write out image files to a directory, ended up
being a security issue.

Jason, how did you fix the problem? I get this error in both ASP.NET and
VB.NET GUI projects.

John,

It could be permissions, especially with ASP.NET, but also
check to see what processes might have a handle on that
file, something unexpected might be happening, for example
anti-virus software might be locking the file.

Head on over to http://www.sysinternals.com and download
their free Process Explorer utility, its pretty easy to
figure out how to use it.

Use following syntax:

StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("c:\filename.txt",...);
sw.WriteLine(...)

In that case it's not the same, I only got it in ASP.NET.

Try using the constructor of filestream that takes

filestream(string(path),filemode(append etc...),access(read, write etc.))

I do know that append mode only allows write access, maybe it's confused
because of some default access mode or something. I will mess with it some
when I get to work.
