File.Delete()

Hello

Consider the following code

Stream s = File.Create(filename)
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(s,encoding)

// write some elements ..

writer.Flush()
writer.Close()
s.Close()

After processing the file, I have to delete it
File.Delete(filename)

However, this throws an IOException (file in use probably). I'm almost sure that the stream or the writer still has a lock on the file. How can I force the file deletion

thx
Pieter
 
Maybe by also putting writer.Dispose()

Regards,
