c# xml.Load() locking file on disk causing errors

Question

I have a simple class XmlFileHelper as follows:

public class XmlFileHelper
{
    #region Private Members

    private XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();         


        

Answer 1

You can do this

using (Stream s = File.OpenRead(xmlFilePath))
{
    xmlDoc.Load(s);
}

instead of

xmlDoc.Load(xmlFilePath);
