unable to delete file (jpeg)
- by ile
I implemented helper for showing thumbnails from here
Next to thumbnail, there is delete link which calls this controller
//
// HTTP POST: /Photo/Delete/1
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Delete(int id, string confirmButton)
{
var path = "~/Uploads/Photos/";
Photo photo = photoRepository.GetPhoto(id);
if (photo == null)
return View("NotFound");
FileInfo TheFile = new FileInfo(Server.MapPath(path + photo.PhotoID + ".jpg"));
if (TheFile.Exists)
{
photoRepository.Delete(photo);
photoRepository.Save();
TheFile.Delete();
}
else return View("NotFound");
return View();
}
If I disable showing thumbnails then the file is deleted. Otherwise it sends error:
System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Documents
and Settings\ilija\My Documents\Visual
Studio
2008\Projects\CMS\CMS\Uploads\Photos\26.jpg'
because it is being used by another
process.
I also don't know if my file delete function is properly written. Searching on the net, I see everyone uses File.Delete(TheFile);, which i'm unable to use and I use TheFile.Delete();
For File.Delete(TheFile); i get following error:
Error 1 'System.Web.Mvc.Controller.File(string,
string, string)' is a 'method', which
is not valid in the given
context C:\Documents and
Settings\ilija\My Documents\Visual
Studio
2008\Projects\CMS\CMS\Controllers\PhotoController.cs 109 17 CMS
Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance
