Hi guys.

 

I am trying to develop a simle windows service (my first windows service) that watches a folder on a server. It uses the System.IO.FileSystemWatcher class to watch a folder, with only the created event raised and the FileName NotifyFilter.

 

The thing is, it works for the first 1-3 files I drop into the folder, imports into the DB without issues.

 

But when I drop the 4th file and onwards, I get a file is locked error.

 

I am always dropping in new files, not files that are already in the folder.

 

Anyone have an idea as to why the files are beging locked ?
