----------------------------------------------------------- From: GLPrasad Message 1 in Discussion Hi Friends, I am trying to create pdf files from text files that are given to me as output with the help of Windows Service where I have a file system watcher, that watches for any new text file to be input. Once a text file is dropped in the folder, the file is processed and a pdf file is generated. What I do there is read the text file using a stream reader, close the file and start processing the PDF using third party converters. Now my problem is, after converting the file, the handle to the text file is not released. When I delete the text file already dropped and drop another file with the same name, the windows service throws me an error saying the text file is held by another process. I am doubly sure that the stream reader has been closed. I tried it another way, creating a file stream and then a stream reader and closing them. Even this does not solve the problem. I tried another way ... by using the using statement in C#. Still the problem continues. Of late, I tried to write a windows application, to do a base 64 encoding provided by the base class libraries. What i do is, read any file, base 64 encode it ... and save it as another file and close all the readers. Now here when the windows application is running, even after the conversion process is over, the handle is still being held by the exe. I tried both the Debug and Release versions of the project. Both of them behave the same way (My suspicion was that the debugger held the file handle). Could any one suggest me how to overcome this problem ? Any help to get over this would be of real help.
