Stream not writing on a file

Jayden Bell 1739 28 Jan 2014

Is there anything wrong with this piece of code ? It's opening the file , yet it doesn't write on it.

fl = new FileStream(path, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
sw = new StreamWriter(fl);
sw.WriteLine("Hello ");

Hi Jayden,

The proper way of doing this would be:

using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(new FileStream(path, FileMode.OpenOrCreate)))

sw.WriteLine("Hello ");

This will call sw.Flush(), sw.Close() and sw.Dispose().
