Creating Files then Closing connection?

[Rue]

i use this to make the file and that works , but anytime i try and open the file for reading it says that the file is still in use and takes a hissy fit.

Dim temp As String = filename_bx1.Text
IO.File.CreateText(temp)

and using , to open it

IO.File.Open(temp, IO.FileMode.Open)

any ideas how to close its connection down?

aslo does anyone know any good tutorials on file handling?

Cheers for any help in advance, Rue

CreateText() returns an IO.StreamWriter...

IO.File.CreateText("c:\temp.txt").Close()
