I want to upload an image but when I try to replace the file it returns that the file is being used. How can I avoid taking the file directly, leaving me the possibility of being able to replace it?
Usage:
PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("D:\images\out.png")
Instead of using Image.FromFile , you can use Image.FromStream and pass the bytes of the file using File.ReadAllBytes .
Example:
PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(New MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes("D:\images\out.png")))
You CAN NOT , this is a restriction added by the framework reading system, I recommend if you want to use / modify the file, create a temporary copy, modify it and visualize it. Otherwise you can never do both at the same time.
The following trick worked for me:
picturebox.image=new Bitmap(Image.FromFile(ruta));
He gave me the solution to the same problem.
