streamwriter

I am trying to save a file using DialogResult and StringBuilder . After making the text, I am calling the following code to save the file: if (dr == DialogResult.OK) { StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(saveFileDialog1.FileName); sw.Write(sb.ToString()); sw.Close(); } I tried to add the second parameter to StreamWriter as Encoding.UTF8 but since the first argument is a string rather than a Stream , it does not compile it. How can I convert that string to a stream to be able to pass the second parameter as Encoding? The reason for this, is that somewhere in my text I have µ but when the file is

I need to get my code to read if file doesnt exist create else append. Right now it is reading if it does exist create and append. Here is the code: if (File.Exists(path)) { using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path)) { Would I do this? if (! File.Exists(path)) { using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path)) { Edit: string path = txtFilePath.Text; if (!File.Exists(path)) { using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path)) { foreach (var line in employeeList.Items) { sw.WriteLine(((Employee)line).FirstName); sw.WriteLine(((Employee)line).LastName); sw.WriteLine(((Employee)line).JobTitle); }

I have a program that attempts to write quite a large amount of text to a file on a remote server overseas, which has a slow network connection. Using the following code, where outputFileContent is a StringBuilder : using (var outfile = new StreamWriter(myRemoteFilePath)) { outfile.Write(outputFileContent.ToString()); } it is taking a seriously long time to run (several minutes), whereas if I first write to a local file and then copy it across to the remote location, it is much quicker (20-30 secs): string tempFilePath = Path.GetTempFileName(); using (var outfile = new StreamWriter

I can't rewrite a file that I am getting from a binary buffer, I have checked with the original file and all bytes are the same. This is the file create from NodeJS: # hd test.txt | head 00000000 47 49 46 38 39 61 32 00 32 00 f7 00 00 96 8c 73 |GIF89a2.2.�....s| 00000010 66 5e 45 c6 bb 9f 7b 72 5a 47 47 47 8a 81 65 ca |f^Eƻ.{rZGGG..e�| 00000020 c1 a6 c9 c1 ac ee ea dd c8 c5 bc 8c 87 7a d3 c9 |���������ż..z��| 00000030 ab 43 3b 26 eb e5 d1 fa fa fa e5 e4 e2 a6 9d 83 |�C;&����������..| 00000040 86 7e 67 c1 b4 8e e4 dc c6 82 82 82 e1 dd d1 e3 |.~g��.���...����| 00000050 dd ca e4 da bc f5 f1 e6 26

I am using StreamWriter class for file operations, are there any problems in this code that I am not seeing? Such as do I need to put it into a try catch finally block? StreamWriter sr = new StreamWriter(streamFolder); sr.Write(details); File.SetAttributes(streamFolder, FileAttributes.Hidden); sr.Close(); Whats wrong with your code? If some exception will occur before you close stream, then stream will stay open, and system resources will not be released: StreamWriter sr = new StreamWriter(streamFolder); sr.Write(details); // some exception occurs here File.SetAttributes(streamFolder,

I can't read those special characters I tried like this 1st way # string xmlFile = File.ReadAllText(fileName); 2nd way # FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); StreamReader r = new StreamReader(fs); string s = r.ReadToEnd(); But both statements don't understand those special characters. How should I read? UPDATE ### I also try all encoding with string xmlFile = File.ReadAllText(fileName, Encoding. ); but still don't understand those special characters. There is no such thing as "special character". What those likely are is extended ascii characters from the
