So here is my code

if (!File.Exists(pathName))
{
    File.Create(pathName);
}
StreamWriter outputFile = new StreamWriter(pathName,true);

But whenever I run the program the first time the path with file gets created. However once I get to the StreamWriter line my program crashes because it says my fie is in use by another process. Is there something I'm missing between the File.Create and the StreamWriter statements?
