Webservice doesn't release file

[TheWizardofInt]

I use this code to convert a string to a file:

 

Private Function MakeFile(ByVal s As String) As String
       Dim sPath As String
       Dim sw As IO.StreamWriter

       If Not IO.Directory.Exists(Server.MapPath("./documents")) Then
           IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath("./documents"))
       End If
       sPath = Server.MapPath("./documents") & "\transfer.xml"
       sw = New System.IO.StreamWriter(sPath, True)
       sw.Write(s)
       sw.Flush()
       sw = Nothing
       Return sPath
   End Function

 

It creates the file, but doesn't release it. When I try to access the file, it is 'in use by another program' until I reset IIS

 

Anyone seen this before?

Try calling the Close() method.

Oh, I cannot freaking believe I did that

 

I reuse this code all of the time and I didn't check it

 

Thanks for the fresh set of eyes
