IS Image.FromFile do not close the file????

Suppose I convert string to fileinfo object
[code]
dim a as fileinfo=new fileinfo(sFileName)
How to close the file,Can somebody tell me?

You need to use:


To release the resources you are using and also since this is a file, indicate it is no longer being used.
You should then be able to delete the image without error, assuming it isn't being used by another program.

As for you second question, you're not really "converting" a string to a System.IO.FileInfo object; you are essentially just creating an instance of a FileInfo object and passing it the required string parameter. This FileInfo object is in itself not a "file" per say, and so it does not need to be closed or disposed of. The FileInfo class does however contain methods allowing you to create, open, append, etc. to files which will actually return an instance of some kind of System.IO.Stream. You must call the Close() method on the stream to close it, and then the Dispose() method should be called automatically to release the resources it is using.

Edited to add more information.
