I have just 2 lines of code - File.Create (@"C:\test.test"); File.Delete (@"C:\test.test"); (I am using File in System.IO namespace) When I execute I get the following error and am not able to tackle this problem. Any help will be appreciated- System.IO.IOException was unhandled Message="The process cannot access the file 'C:\\test.test1' because it is being used by another process."
