{
         string strRet = "";
         string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt";
         string path2 = path + "temp";

                  {
                           // This statement ensures that the file is created,
                           // but the handle is not kept.
                           FileStream fs = File.Create(path);
                           fs.Close();
                  }
