System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file "RapidSpell_UserSettings.xml" - RapidSpell Desktop .NET - Forum

Hi,

Our clients are intermittently getting the following error

System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file "RapidSpell_UserSettings.xml" because it is being used by another process.

I checked my code and we have not added any code to create the file RapidSpell_UserSettings.xml. Whenever the error appears, it seems to be thrown from the method RapidSpellAsyouType.AddtextComponent. So it seems to be coming from the Keyoti RapidSpell code itself.

When we search the file RapidSpell_UserSettings.xml on client's machine we saw a 0 bytes xml file is getting created for each user under the location

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\IsolatedStorage\<random>\<random>\StrongName.<random>\AssemFiles\RapidSpell_UserSettings.xml

I would like to know the purpose of this usersettings file. Since we are not explicitly using it for any purpose from our code, would it be alright to disable the usersettings options using the following like of code

RapidSpellAsYouType.OptionsEnabled=false

What impact would it have on the overall behavior and would it fix the issue of usersettings file being created and hence the issue of any process locking it would not arise?

Please let me know in case there is any other way to rectify the above intermittent error.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Rushikesh
