In C# console app I am trying to copy images from one dir to another and then copy the original image from original location to a processed location. I have tried Thread.Sleep etc. but with no luck. Please help!

File.Copy(sourcePath, destinationPath ,true);

File.Move(sourcePath, processedPath);

All paths are like c:\dir\subdir\image1.png but different subdir locations.

I get the following error

Error: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Problem will be somewhere else. Your code doesn't uses reflection at all. Post the relevant code. – Sriram Sakthivel Jul 16 '14 at 11:28
