System.IO.IOException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

[Paul Ilacqua]

In running vb.net and I cannot get the System.IO.File.Delete(sFile) to work.
It throws the following exception. I'm developing using

"An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.IOException' occurred in
mscorlib.dll"

I'm positive the file is not in use, Im developing with the Pocket PC 2003
emulator. I get the same error either on my device or on the emulator. It
compiles fine... does the .net compact framework not support file deletes?
Please Help... Thanks

Paul

Make sure you're using full path to the file as Win CE does not have
"current folder" concept.
Also, make sure file is not read only.

Here is the code sample......

Dim sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(sFile)
Dim ErrorMessage As String

Try
'Fails Here *********************************

If System.IO.File.Exists(sFile) Then System.IO.File.Delete(sFile)

Dim s As String = "Test Message"

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.ToString)

End Try

sw.Write(s)

sw.Close()

MessageBox.Show(File.Exists(sFile))

Make sure that file in "sFile" variable is not readonly.

If you're deploying this file via VS and you're using some source control,
this file is likely to be read only. Is it?
