Unlocking files

[Bret]

I have saved files from a data base then used the paths to bind them to my images in my book. But now I need to release those images and rebind with different images. I am not able to delete out the image files that I created to display from the first book that was created. How do I clear the locks on the files so I can recreate them from other images in the database?

 

 

 

 

private void Process_Tiff(BookView wpfbook, string TempFile)
{
    RemoveOldFiles();
    //Sets each page to an image
    Image img = Image.FromFile(TempFile);
    int count = img.GetFrameCount(FrameDimension.Page);
    List<BookItem> MyBook = new List<BookItem>();
    for (int idx = 0; idx < count; idx++)
    {
        img.SelectActiveFrame(FrameDimension.Page, idx);
        int currentpage = idx + 1;
        string TempPageFile = DefaultPath + DocOcc.ToString() + currentpage.ToString() + ".TIFF";
        // and then create a new Image from it
        img.Save(TempPageFile);
        dFile df = new dFile();
        df.File_Path = TempPageFile;
        FileList.Add(df);
        MyBook.Add(new BookItem()
        {
            Title = TempPageFile
        });
    }
    img.Dispose();
    wpfbook.RadBook1.ItemsSource = MyBook;
}

This is the code where I create a file for each page of my Tiff file. Then I use this code to try and remove it. But I am not able to remove the file.

private void RemoveOldFiles()
{
    ((BookView)((ElementHost)panel1.Controls[0]).Child).RadBook1.ItemsSource = null;
    int count = 0;
    IList<dFile> holddf = new List<dFile>();
    foreach (dFile dfrow in FileList)
   {
       try
       {
           File.Delete(dfrow.File_Path);
           count++;
       }
       catch
       {
           dFile df = new dFile();
           df.File_Path = dfrow.File_Path;
           holddf.Add(df);
           count++;
       }
   }
    FileList = holddf;
}

The result is always faling in to the Catch and the error is always that the file is in use. Hopefully this helps someone help me.
