After opening a photo in my application using the Openfile Dialog I cannot do anything with the file unless I close my application. I have placed the OpenFile Dialog in a using statement and tried various ways to release resources with no success. How can I release the process to avoid the error message "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process?
using (OpenFileDialog GetPhoto = new OpenFileDialog())
{
GetPhoto.Filter = "images | *.jpg";
if (GetPhoto.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
pbPhoto.Image = Image.FromFile(GetPhoto.FileName);
txtPath.Text = GetPhoto.FileName;
txtTitle.Text = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(GetPhoto.FileName);
//GetPhoto.Dispose(); Tried this
//GetPhoto.Reset(); Tried this
//GC.Collect(): Tried this
}
}
Your problem is not (OpenFileDialog) your problem is for PictureBox
you can use this for load image or if this not works
do this for load image
OpenFileDialog GetPhoto = new OpenFileDialog();
GetPhoto.Filter = "images | *.jpg";
if (GetPhoto.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
FileStream fs = new FileStream(path: GetPhoto.FileName,mode: FileMode.Open);
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(fs);
fs.Close(); // End using
fs.Dispose();
pbPhoto.Image = bitmap;
txtPath.Text = GetPhoto.FileName;
txtTitle.Text = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(GetPhoto.FileName);
}
