Unfortunately, with that change, the program isn't going into the using bracket. I tried it out with a try/finally and it seems to just go back to the main method after the "var file = new FileStream(srcFile, FileMode.Open)" line. Any idea why that's happening?
Edit: This was happening because the route was incorrect - your reply worked, thank you!
