    "Html": "<p>saveFileDialog.OpenFile() opens a stream.&nbsp;&nbsp;Apparently your app&nbsp;does not call .Close() on that stream, and this is why the file cannot&nbsp;be opened by Windows.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you modify your app to call .Close(), you'll be able to open the file externally, without exiting your app.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>You can (should) do it implicitly in a using clause. Something like this:</p>\n<div style=\"background-color: white; color: black;\">\n<pre>   SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = <span style=\"color: blue;\">new</span> SaveFileDialog();\r\n   saveFileDialog1.Filter = <span style=\"color: #a31515;\">\"ZIP File|*.zip\"</span>;\r\n   saveFileDialog1.Title = <span style=\"color: #a31515;\">\"Save a ZIP File\"</span>;\r\n   saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog();\r\n\r\n   <span style=\"color: blue;\">if</span>(saveFileDialog1.FileName != <span style=\"color: #a31515;\">\"\"</span>)\r\n   {\r\n      <span style=\"color: blue;\">using</span> (<span style=\"color: blue;\">var</span> stream2 = saveFileDialog1.OpenFile())\r\n      {\r\n          <span style=\"color: blue;\">using</span> (<span style=\"color: blue;\">var</span> zip = <span style=\"color: blue;\">new</span> ZipFile()) \r\n          {\r\n             zip.AddEntry(Path.Combine(zipPath, fileName), stream1);\r\n             zip.Save(stream2);\r\n          }\r\n      }\r\n   }\r\n</pre>\n</div>\n<p>An alternative which may be simpler for you is to NOT open the filestream using OpenFile(), and instead just reference the filename itself in the call to ZipFile.Save(). like this:</p>\n<div style=\"background-color: white; color: black;\">\n<pre>   SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = <span style=\"color: blue;\">new</span> SaveFileDialog();\r\n   saveFileDialog1.Filter = <span style=\"color: #a31515;\">\"ZIP file|*.zip\"</span>;\r\n   saveFileDialog1.Title = <span style=\"color: #a31515;\">\"Save a ZIP File\"</span>;\r\n   saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog();\r\n\r\n   <span style=\"color: blue;\">if</span>(saveFileDialog1.FileName != <span style=\"color: #a31515;\">\"\"</span>)\r\n   {\r\n          <span style=\"color: blue;\">using</span> (<span style=\"color: blue;\">var</span> zip = <span style=\"color: blue;\">new</span> ZipFile()) \r\n          {\r\n             zip.AddEntry(Path.Combine(zipPath, fileName), stream1);\r\n             zip.Save(saveFileDialog1.FileName);\r\n          }      \r\n   }\r\n\r\n\r\n</pre>\n</div>",
