The file is being used by some other process

[Jagadeesh]

hi ,

Am trying to read from and write to a same xml file.i have no prob when
reading the xml file.but when i write to the same file i get the following
error even after closing the reader object(which is open).

The file is being used by some other process.

---------------------------------------------------

This is what am doing in the code:

i have used the XmlTextReader and loaded the file to an XmlDocument
object and closed the Reader object. and after the processing of the
documnet, am writing to the file by passing a XmltextWriter obj to the
save() method in XmlDocument class. [more over I came to know that the
reader.close() only changes the read state to closed]

-------------------------------------------------------

Code Block here:

xdoc.Load(fs); //Loading the file

try

{fs.Close(); //Closing the file

Thread.Sleep(1000);

}

catch

{Thread.Sleep(1000);}

xmltagfinder();

XmlNode unode;

nodelist=xdoc.GetElementsByTagName(xnode.Name);

unode=nodelist[0].FirstChild;
count=nodelist.Count;i=0;

while(i!=count)

{

if(unode.ParentNode.ParentNode.Name!="LIST_ITEMS")

{

if(Convert.ToInt32(unode.InnerText)==Convert.ToInt 32(id1))

{

unode.NextSibling.InnerText="";

unode.NextSibling.InnerText=name;

}

else

{

unode=nodelist[i].FirstChild;
}

}

i++;

xtr=null

xdoc.Save("d:/Dash2.xml"); //i also tried
xdoc.Save(fs);

}

I cannot reproduce the problem. After calling to XmlReader.Close() the
doc can be saved into the same file.
try

{fs.Close(); //Closing the file

Thread.Sleep(1000);

} .... xdoc.Save(fs);

This is weird. fs has been closed already.
