Hello,
I have:
writer = XmlWriter.Create("mike.xml",settings);
// ......Do Some stuff. This works writes an xml file.
// Then I try to close it
writer.Flush();
writer.Close();
//But I get an error saying I cant open it, its being used
FileStream fs = new FileStream("mike.xml", FileMode.Open);
....More stuff

What am I missing?
Thanks

Works fine for me... What is the value of "settings"...?

Try:

using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create("mike.xml", settings))
{
// do stuff...
writer.Flush();
writer.Close();
}

using (FileStream fs = new FileStream("mike.xml", FileMode.Open))
{
}

As Mark says, the code you posted as-is works fine. So obviously the
problem is related to code you didn't post.

You should post a concise-but-complete code example that reliably
demonstrates the problem. Only with that can any of us confidently say
exactly what the problem is.

Given your stated error, most likely you have failed to properly close
the original file somehow. But there's no way to know where that
particular problem is if you don't show the relevant code.

Are you sure that Close actually gets called?

Is the same file being opened by some other code within your app?
