Unable to delete image file

[Martin Hamilton]

After performing an ExportToImage using the RadBarCodeView, I'd like to delete the image from the harddrive.

But it always says that the file is in use and cannot be deleted.

I tried setting the RadBarCodeView1.value = Nothing (trying to make it release the image file) but that doesn't work either.

Any idea's on how to release that image file?

Hello Martin,

Thank you for your interest in our RadBarcodeView for WinForms.

I have tested your scenario, but could not observe any locking on the exported image. May I ask you to share the code snippet responsible for exporting the RadBarcodeView in your application?

What I have tried is to export the control into an image on the hard drive and then call the File.Delete() method. No error appears on my side:

this.radBarcodeView1.ExportToImage("../../img.png", new Size(200,200));
File.Delete("../../img.png");
