Access to the path 'path' is denied. VS2017

Question

I am trying to create a file and save it in a folder created by me with the name "temporario". I created this folder on disk E: and inside my program, on disk C:. Using File.Create(file), error appears

Acess to the path 'E:\temporario' is denied.

Or, in the case of the folder in my program

Access to the path 'C:\Users\srodrigues\Documents\ProjetoPAP\ConversorPDFImage\Main\temporario' is denied.

I’ve researched a number of sites, in English and Portuguese, and it talks all about giving uncheck on the "Read only" option of the folder and I’ve done it, giving my user permission to write in the folder and I still have the same error.

What can I do to save the file in that folder? I prefer to keep it in the program folder.

OBS: I am manipulating PDF files and if I use document.Save(filepath) of Pdfsharp, saves in both folders without any problem, never had trouble saving files in folder E:\temporario, but now even that folder is not enough to save the file.

EDIT: I will put my code here - now complete (with the amendment proposed by Augusto Vasques):

    int indexi = 0;
    private void proc2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        openFileDialog1.Title = "Procurar arquivos no computador";
        openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = @"E:\";
        openFileDialog1.Filter = "Imagens (.bmp,.jpg,.png,.tiff,.tif) |*.bmp;*.jpg;*.png;*tiff;*tif|Todos os arquivos (*.*)|*.*";
        DialogResult resposta = openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();

        if (resposta == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            foreach (string file in openFileDialog1.FileNames)
            {
                string caminhoCompleto = file;
                caminho2 = openFileDialog1.SafeFileName;
                caminhotb2.Text = caminhoCompleto;
                string fish = "";
                string path = @"E:\\temporario";

                using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite))
                {
                    if (Directory.Exists(path))
                    {
                        fish = Path.Combine(path, caminho2);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
                        fish = Path.Combine(path, caminho2);
                    }
                    File.Create(fish);
                }          
                indexi = listaimg.Items.Count;
                listaimg.Items.Add((indexi + 1) + "- " + caminho2);
            }
        }
    }         

Answer 1

There are three of your problems:

First problem:

You are trying to create a file when the permission you granted to your FileStream is sufficient only for reading. Change the FileMode and the FileAccess deforms to suit your needs.

Second Problem:

When trying to solve the first problem you created a variable path of tests that set the path to the FlieStream in a directory that does not exist and forgot to return to the original variable that is caminhotb2.Text.

Third problem:

You don’t need the line File.Create(fish); for the FileStream has already created your archive.

Try this:

using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(caminhotb2.Text, FileMode.OpenOrCreate,FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite))

and comment or delete the line File.Create(fish);

Answer 2

Try specifying the file extension

For example:

string caminho2 ="E:\\temporario.png";

Answer 3

I managed to correct this mistake by adding the tips of Pedro Duca and Augusto Vasques, thank you both!

EDIT: I had to change the code because I was removing the contents of the initial file, now just copy.

So the final answer will be:

            foreach (string file in openFileDialog1.FileNames)
            {
                // Obtém o caminho completo do arquivo
                string caminhoCompleto = file;
                caminho2 = openFileDialog1.SafeFileName;
                caminhotb2.Text = caminhoCompleto;
                string StartDirectory = caminhoCompleto;
                string EndDirectory = @"C:\temporario";

                using (FileStream SourceStream = File.Open(file, FileMode.Open))
                {
                    using (FileStream DestinationStream = File.Create(EndDirectory + file.Substring(file.LastIndexOf('\\'))))
                    {
                        SourceStream.CopyToAsync(DestinationStream);
                    }
                }
                indexi = listabmp.Items.Count;
                listabmp.Items.Add((indexi + 1) + "- " + caminho2);
            }
