Im working on an example for myself to learn linq and xml writter. I want to create, delete and search data from a XML file. In each function I got a problem "IOException was UnHandlled" `The process cannot access the file C:testPerson.xml because it
is being used by another process.`
Can anybody tell me how do i fix this problem.

Sample XML:
<pre class="prettyprint <CustomerRecord>
<Customer id="6786
<FirstName>khkjh</FirstName>
<LastName>jkhjkh</LastName>
<Mobile>887897</Mobile>
<Address>jk</Address>
<Country>fdgfdg</Country>
</Customer>
</CustomerRecord>[/code]
