Close file after ReadAllBytes

I want to convert a file to byte[] and then save it. but while saving it says that file is in use. how should I close the file after reading it as byte?

  void Function(string UploadPath, RadAsyncUpload RadAsyncUploadName)
    {
        foreach (UploadedFile file in RadAsyncUploadName.UploadedFiles)
        {
            FileStream tmpFile = (FileStream)file.InputStream;
            byte[] data = File.ReadAllBytes(tmpFile.Name);
            //close the file here
            Function2(data);
            file.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(UploadPath)+file.GetName());
        }
    }

Once you have read all the bytes in the stream, it looks like you cannot use the UploadedFile.SaveAs anymore. I would first SaveAs, then open the saved file an read it. Alternatively, you can write back the byte array to the file you intended to save the data to.

You don't need to define the filestream -- just use the file name with readallbytes.
