File.Create returns the Stream of the file created.

As long as you do not dispose it, it will keep the file open

You can also use the Stream to directly write to the file. Using the using statement helps getting around any allocation issues.

        using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path))
        {
            Byte[] info = new UTF8Encoding(true).GetBytes("This is some text in the file.");
            // Add some information to the file.
            fs.Write(info, 0, info.Length);
        }
