删除dll时出现System.UnauthorizedAccessException

Question

While deleting my .dll file System.UnauthorizedAccessException was thrown.

System.IO.File.Delete("file name here.dll");

Error message is as follows:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'E:\\Projeler\\Spa Anahtar Üretici\\ConsoleApplication2\\bin\\Debug\\AutoGen.dll' is denied.

How to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Try opening the file using File.Open method and enclose it in try-catch with exception IOException.

If the file is in use , the code flow reaches the exception part and hence don't delete the file, Otherwise you can safely delete.
