I have this code that saves a pdf file.

FileStream fs = new FileStream(SaveLocation, FileMode.Create);
fs.Write(result.DocumentBytes, 0, result.DocumentBytes.Length);
fs.Flush();
fs.Close();

It works fine. However sometimes it does not release the lock right away and that causes file locking exceptions with functions run after this one run.

Is there a ideal way to release the file lock right after the fs.Close()
