I am having a problem where I am trying to delete my file but I get an exception.
if (result == "Success")
{
if (FileUpload.HasFile)
{
try
{
File.Delete(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + app_settings.login_images + txtUploadStatus.Text);
string filename = Path.GetFileName(btnFileUpload.FileName);
btnFileUpload.SaveAs(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + app_settings.login_images + filename);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Message(ex.ToString());
}
}
}
Also I should note that the folder I am trying to delete from has full control to network services.
The full exception message is:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\gowdyn\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\hybrid\hybrid\temp_loginimages\enviromental.jpg' is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.File.Delete(String path) at hybrid.User_Controls.Imgloader_Add_Edit_Tbl.btnUpdate_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Users\gowdyn\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\hybrid\hybrid\User_Controls\Imgloader_Add_Edit_Tbl.ascx.cs:line 242
Any ideas?
According to File.Delete Method...
An UnauthorizedAccessException
means one of 4 things:
