    <p>Scenario: I've written an application to open a list of .msg files (which have been dumped to the file system), grab some information from them (subject, To CC) and then move them. </p> <p>Problem: However, when it comes to moving the file I get the following error:</p> <blockquote> <p>The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.</p> </blockquote> <p>Running Handle against the file only shows the tool I've written and no other handles. </p> <p>I assume, therefore, that I'm not properly releasing the files when I've finished using them as Redemption MessageItem objects. </p> <p>But I can't wrap them in a using statement, because they don't implement IDisposable. And they don't expose any public Close or Dispose or similarly named methods.</p> <p><br> <br></p> <p>In short, I'm trying to ask: </p> <p>a) How can I force my c# application to close a given handle, knowing only the path to the file handle?</p> <p>Or</p> <p>b) Is there a way to force the Redemption objects to close?</p> <pre><code>var util = new MAPIUtilsClass(); MessageItem item = util.GetItemFromMsgFile(EmailPath, false); item.Import(EmailPath, 3); Subject = item.Subject; From = (item.SenderName.Length &lt; 96) ? item.SenderName : item.SenderName.Substring(0, 93) + "..."; To = (String.IsNullOrEmpty(item.To)) ? String.Empty : (item.To.Length &lt; 96) ? item.To : item.To.Substring(0, 93) + "..."; CC = (String.IsNullOrEmpty(item.CC)) ? String.Empty : (item.CC.Length &lt; 96) ? item.CC : item.CC.Substring(0, 93) + "..."; Sent = item.SentOn; Received = item.ReceivedTime; Log.Write("Redemption: Email data harvested" + EmailPath); </code></pre>

    3. CODoes the MAPIUtilsClass class implement IDisposable? If so, wrap that sucker in a using and that should take care of your problem.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
