Hi John,

File.Create() opens a file stream, which you must close before accessing the
file via a second stream.  Here are a couple options:

  using (File.Create("SomeFile3.txt")){}

or (which essentially means):

  FileStream fs = null;

  try
  {
   fs = File.Create("SomeFile3.txt");
  }
  finally
  {
   if (fs != null)
   {
    fs.Close();
   }
  }
