Does FileStream.Dispose close the file immediately?

by

As “immediately” as possible. There can easily be some lag due to outstanding writes, delay in updating the directory info etc. It could also be anti-virus software checking your changed file.

This may be a rare case where a Thread.Sleep(1) is called for. But to be totally safe you will have to catch the (any) exception and try again a set number of times.
