Delete image file used by XAML
- by Frode Lillerud
I'm trying to delete a Image file in WPF, but WPF locks the file.
<Image Source="C:\person.gif" x:Name="PersonImage">
<Image.ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu>
<MenuItem Header="Delete..." x:Name="DeletePersonImageMenuItem" Click="DeletePersonImageMenuItem_Click"/>
</ContextMenu>
</Image.ContextMenu>
</Image>
And the Click handler just looks like this:
private void DeletePersonImageMenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
System.IO.File.Delete(@"C:\person.gif");
}
But, when I try to delete the file it is locked and cannot be removed.
Any tips on how to delete the file?
