Derefrencing the carousel itemsource

[Suhas]

I have folder full of pngs. I add all the pngs to the the carousel and then after viewing those in Carousel, I need to delete those from my hard disk. But it gives me an error saying the files are still used by the carousel. How do delete the image source??

Hello Suhas,

You can clear the source of the carousel and remove the images after that.

MyCarousel.BeginInit();
            foreach (string png in Directory.GetFiles(output))
            {
                Image myimage = new Image();
                var uri = new Uri(png);
                myimage.Source = new BitmapImage(uri);
                myimage.Height = 200;
                myimage.Width = 200;
                myImages.Add(myimage);
                
            }          
            MyCarousel.ItemsSource = myImages;
            MyCarousel.EndInit();

To release the files used in carousel, I am doing following

MyCarousel.ItemSource = null;
MyCarousel.Items.Clear();
GC.Collect();

but still when I delete the pngs in a output folder, I get an exception saying pngs are being used by another process 
which is this RadCarousel.

Hello Suhas,

Could you take a look at this forum thread and follow the ideas illustrated in the threads mentioned there ? Do you still get the same exception ? 

All the best,
