hi all,

i`m doing an application to zip a file. this require system.io.file

but i`m having problem as it cannot run because the error above..
do i need to close the File.xxx as the library dont have the close function..

can anyone help?

If you opened the stream, there is a close function. And you need to use it.

Post your code if you require more specific help so we can see what you are doing.

I fixed my problem by suppressing the Finalize on the base stream after I opened the file

Here is the Line I added after opening the file
GC.SuppressFinalize(myLogStream.BaseStream);

Then at the class destructor I could Flush and Close the file
