can't email log file from log4net , file already in use

Question

Ive got a logger implemented from log4net wich works fine and creates a nice log file calles logfile.24.12.2015.log and is called like:

LogManagerBase _Log = new LogManagerBase(null);
_Log.Info(class , message); 

 

However when i want to email the log file ( see void downstairs):

 

public void Send(string body, string path, LogManagerBase _Log)
{
var username = "xxxx@xxxx";
var password = "xxxxx";
SmtpCreds = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password);
try
{
var sendTo = username;
var sendFrom = username;
Client.Host = "smtpserver";
var subject = "Log file last executed batch";
Client.Port = 587;
Client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
Client.Credentials = SmtpCreds;
Client.EnableSsl = false;
MailAddress to = new MailAddress(sendTo);
MailAddress from = new MailAddress(sendFrom);
Msg.Subject = subject;
Msg.Body = body;
Msg.From = from;
Msg.To.Add(to);
if (path != null)
{
Msg.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(path));
}
Client.Send(Msg);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_Log.Exception(ex);
}

}

 

It gives the following error:

2015-12-24 13:09:18,162 FATAL - System.IO.IOException: Kan geen toegang krijgen tot het bestand C:\Log\LastExecutedBatch.Cmd_2015.12.24.log omdat het wordt gebruikt door een ander proces.
