C# exception. File is being used by another process

Tags:

I'm playing around with C# and I encountered a problem. When I try to make a new file, the program breaks and says that the file is being used by another process. It's probably something stupid that I overlooked, but I cant figure it out!

Here is my code:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace myNameSpace
{
    public partial class MainWindow : Form
    {
        public static string folderPath = @"fullpath";
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            StoredTb.Text = folderPath;
            String[] files = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath);
            foreach (string file in files)
                myDropDown.Items.Add(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file));
        }

        private void myDropDown_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker(myDropDown_invokedMethod));
        }

        private void myDropDown_invokedMethod()
        {
            string fullpath = MainWindow.folderPath + myDropDown.SelectedText + ".txt";
            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fullpath);
            NameTb.Text = myDropDown.SelectedText;
            DescriptionTb.Text = sr.ReadToEnd();
            sr.Close();
        }

        private void SaveBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            File.Create(NameTb.Text + ".txt");
            TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(NameTb.Text + ".txt"); /* this is where the problem occurs */
            tw.WriteLine("The very first line!");
            tw.Close();
        }
    }
}

Sorry for the long code snippet, but since I'm not sure where the problem originates from I had to include pretty much everything.
