I upload a csv file to AppData folder in project solution and read the content with the code below:
using (var fs = new FileStream(Path.Combine(uploadPath, name), chunk == 0 ? FileMode.Create : FileMode.Append))
{
var buffer = new byte[fileUpload.InputStream.Length];
fileUpload.InputStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
fs.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
var reader = new StreamReader(System.IO.File.OpenRead(fs.Name));// I check path and file itself in AppData folder. its ok
List<string> listA = new List<string>();
List<string> listB = new List<string>();
while (!reader.EndOfStream)
{
var line = reader.ReadLine();
var values = line.Split(';');
}
But it throws IOException
with message:
The process cannot access the file 'c:\path\App_Data\o_1amtdiagc18991ndq1c1k1c2v1bama.csv' because it is being used by another process.
I couldnt get it how and why it's being used I created this file from original uploaded file with unique name..

Because you've not closed the stream that's writing to it:
using (var fs = new FileStream(Path.Combine(uploadPath, name), ...)
I would suggest you write the file, close the using
statement so the handle can be released, then read it:
string fullName = Path.Combine(uploadPath, name);
using (var fs = ...)
{
// Code as before, but ideally taking note of the return value
// of Stream.Read, that you're currently ignoring. Consider
// using Stream.CopyTo
}
// Now the file will be closed
using (var reader = File.OpenText(fullName))
{
// Read here
}
