Proper way of waiting until a file is created

Question

I have the following code:

// get location where application data director is located
var appData = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Applicati         


        

Answer 1

There is no need to create the file if you intend to use File.AppendAllText

About the root cause for the error, and a preferred way to write to files in general:

The file was created, and returned a stream that you didn't use/close. best method should be to use this stream to write to the file.

using (FileStream fs = File.Create(file))
{
     fs.Write("What ever you need to write..");
}
