Hi All,

I have a popup for image upload with a upload button,save button and one close button
I am uploading images with a file control after browsing when I click on upload button it
upload the file to some folder /xyz/temp/ folder with name 101.jpg
now i close the popup.
now when i again open and try to upload (upload the file to same folder /xyz/temp/ folder with name 101.jpg)
it gives me exception on this line
inputFile.SaveAs(MapPath(/tmp+"//"+fileName));
saying
"the process cannot access the file (101.jpg)because it is being used by another process"
this exception is thrown.
now if i restart the asp.net worker process this exception doesnt comes
that mean the file is cached in memory by the asp.net worker process.

Thanks in advance

This error means that you have some code somewhere that's not closing the
file.

this is one of the reason but I had varified that no file is left open! its
something else that I am not able to find out.
