Hi

I am trying a simple move as shown below and get the following error: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." How do I fix this? Thanks.

FileInfo file1 = new FileInfo(srcFile);
if (file1.Exists)
{
 FileInfo file2 = new FileInfo(destFile);
 if (!file2.Exists)
 {
  try
  {
   File.Move(srcFile, destFile);
  }
  catch (System.IO.IOException e)
  {
   Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
  }
}
}
