copied!<p>You need to close the System.IO.Packaging.Package from which the XpsDocument assigned to the viewer was opened. Further, if you want to be able to open the same file again within the same application session, you will have to remove the Package from the PackageStore. Closing the Package will release the file lock and allow you to delete the file, but you will not then be able to re-open that same file (or, more precisely, any file at that same location by the same name even if it has different content) until you remove the Package from the PackageStore.</p> <p>In the context of the code in the question, insert the following after the first previewWindow.ShowDialog(); before the File.Delete(tempXpsFile);</p> <pre><code>//Get the Uri from which the system opened the XpsPackage and so your XpsDocument var myXpsUri = xpsDocument.Uri; //should point to the same file as tempXpsFile //Get the XpsPackage itself var theXpsPackage = System.IO.Packaging.PackageStore.GetPackage(myXpsUri); //THIS IS THE KEY!!!! close it and make it let go of it's file locks theXpsPackage.Close(); //if you don't remove the package from the PackageStore, you won't be able to //re-open the same file again later (due to System.IO.Packaging's Package store/caching //rather than because of any file locks) System.IO.Packaging.PackageStore.RemovePackage(myXpsUri); </code></pre> <p>So the fixed code segment presented in the question becomes:</p> <pre><code>var tempXpsFile = @"c:\path\to\Temporary.xps"; var previewWindow = new Window(); var docViewer = new DocumentViewer(); previewWindow.Content = docViewer; GenerateXpsFile(tempXpsFile); var xpsDocument = new XpsDocument(tempXpsFile); previewWindow.ShowDialog(); //BEGIN NEW CODE var myXpsUri = xpsDocument.Uri; //should point to the same file as tempXpsFile var theXpsPackage = System.IO.Packaging.PackageStore.GetPackage(myXpsUri); theXpsPackage.Close(); System.IO.Packaging.PackageStore.RemovePackage(myXpsUri); //END NEW CODE File.Delete(tempXpsFile); //this will succeed now GenerateXpsFile(tempXpsFile); previewWindow = new Window(); docViewer = new DocumentViewer(); previewWindow.Content = docViewer; previewWindow.ShowDialog(); </code></pre> <p>Yes, I know I didn't open the XpsDocument with a Package - .NET did it "for" me behind the scenes and forgets to clean up after itself.</p>
