Cannot delete an image file that is shown in a listview
- by Enrico
Hello all,
In my listview I show thumbnails of small images in a certain folder. I setup the listview as follows:
var imageList = new ImageList();
foreach (var fileInfo in dir.GetFiles())
{
try
{
var image = Image.FromFile(fileInfo.FullName);
imageList.Images.Add(image);
}
catch
{
Console.WriteLine("error");
}
}
listView.View = View.LargeIcon;
imageList.ImageSize = new Size(64, 64);
listView.LargeImageList = imageList;
for (int j = 0; j < imageList.Images.Count; j++)
{
var item = new ListViewItem {ImageIndex = j, Text = "blabla"};
listView.Items.Add(item);
}
The user can rightclick on an image in the listview to remove it. I remove it from the listview and then I want to delete this image from the folder. Now I get the error that the file is in use. Of course this is logical since the imagelist is using the file.
I tried to first remove the image from the imagelist, but I keep on having the file lock.
Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
