Title Body

I have a simple c# function that creates a basic XML file and saves: private void CreateXMlFile(string Filename, string Name, string Company) { XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); XmlNode docNode = doc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", null); doc.AppendChild(docNode); XmlNode licenseNode = doc.CreateElement("license"); doc.AppendChild(licenseNode); XmlNode node = doc.CreateElement("Name"); node.AppendChild(doc.CreateTextNode(Name)); licenseNode.AppendChild(node); node = doc.CreateElement("Company"); node.AppendChild(doc.CreateTextNode(Company)); licenseNode.AppendChild(node); doc.Save(Filename); } When I try to edit or delete the file I always get following error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. XmlDocument doesnt have any inbuilt dispose or close routines and wondered how I can force the file to close before later editing or deleting it. I have tried to save the file using StreamWriter: StreamWriter outStream = System.IO.File.CreateText(outfile); outStream.Write(data); outStream.Close(); But this didnt make a difference with the same error. Your advice is greatly accepted. Thank you
