Why can't I move my file?

Question

Hi I'm writing this little image browser written in C# with a file rename feature. Trouble is that when I try to rename the file that's displayed I get an error with a message that the picture file is being used by a process. So I thought that I should show you the method that displays the image in a picture box and displays some information about it inside a label. public void SetPicture( string path ) { currentImagePath = path; pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode .StretchImage; pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap (path); FileInfo fi = new FileInfo (path); label1.Text = string .Format( {0}x{1}pixels {2}  pictureBox1.Image.Width pictureBox1.Image.Height fi.LastWriteTime); this .Text = path;// set window title } Is the culprit here? Thanks Henri

And one more thing your solution does allow me to save a backup with the original name.

Thanks Scott I did think of something vaguely along those lines and looked for a Close operation but could not find one. It does seem strange that the only way to close is to save but I'll use that. Henri

It must be in the save; the code you provided works. I checked against a hard coded save using your code along with this simple save method: private void button2_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { try { pictureBox1.Image.Save( @C:\Temp\Junk.jpg ); } catch ( Exception ex) { MessageBox .Show(ex.Message Error ); } }
