Question

I have an issue from time to time, I have a few StreamReaders and StreamWriters in my program that read info and write it. They go right about 99% of the time, but once in a while I end up with a StreamWriter that won’t close, on a piece of code I’ve run multiple times.

This tends to happen if I spam a function, but I am trying to find a safe way to guarantee a steam disposed. Anyone know how?

Answer 1

try a using statement MSDN

using (StreamWriter stream = new StreamWriter(Initialization)){

   //your code

}

this can be useful:

Closing Stream Read and Stream Writer when the form exits

Also you could use a Try Block

try
{
    //Declare your streamwriter
    StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(Initialization);
}
catch
{
    //Handle the errors
}
finally
{
    sw.Dispose();
}
