IOException: Unable To Delete Images Due To File Lock
- by Arslan Pervaiz
I am Unable To Delete Image File From My Server Path It Gaves Error That The Process Cannot Access The File "FileName" Because it is being Used By Another Process. I Tried Many Methods But Still All In Vain. Please Help me Out in This Issue.
Here is My Code Snippet.

//-------------------------------------------------------
//to maximize the size of the Copyright message we will
//test multiple Font sizes to determine the largest posible

//define an array of point sizes you would like to consider as possiblities
//-------------------------------------------------------
//Define the text layout by setting the text alignment to centered

//define a Brush which is semi trasparent black (Alpha set to 153)

//define a Brush which is semi trasparent white (Alpha set to 153)
SolidBrush semiTransBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(153, 255, 255, 255));
//------------------------------------------------------------
//Step #2 - Insert Watermark image

//The second color manipulation is used to change the opacity of the
//watermark. This is done by applying a 5x5 matrix that contains the
//coordinates for the RGBA space. By setting the 3rd row and 3rd column
//to 0.3f we achive a level of opacity
