.NET: IOException for permissions when creating new file?
- by Rosarch
I am trying to create a new file and write XML to it:
FileStream output = File.Create(Path.Combine(PATH_TO_DATA_DIR, fileName));
The argument evaluates to:
C:\path\to\Data\test.xml
The exception is:
The process cannot access the file 'C:\path\to\Data\test.xml' because it is being used by another process.
What am I doing wrong here?
UPDATE: This code throws the same exception:
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(Path.Combine(PATH_TO_DATA_DIR, fileName));
UPDATE 2: The file I am trying to create does not exist in the file system. So how can be it in use?
