Question

I have two filestreams which collects different information from different files:

FileStream dataStruc = new FileStream("c:\\temp\\dataStruc.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);

FileStream csvFile = new FileStream("c:\\temp\\" + fileName + ".txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);

StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(csvFile);
StreamWriter swc = new StreamWriter(dataStruc);

when both streamwriters are used to get the same piece of information like shown below:

sw.WriteLine(sheet); 
swc.WriteLine(sheet);

then sw streamwriter has information from file. Have I set up my filestreams incorrectly?

Answer 1

Assuming you don’t get any exceptions/errors and that basic stuff like the correct path for the csvFile FileStream is verified and found to be correct: Try adding a Flush() or propery closing the stream using Close(). Even better: use a using statement.

EDIT
After reading your question again: are you sure you just didn’t switch the filestreams?

StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(csvFile);
StreamWriter swc = new StreamWriter(dataStruc);

as opposed to

StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(dataStruc);
StreamWriter swc = new StreamWriter(csvFile);

Your question and description is rather vague: “both streamwriters are used to get the same piece of information“. How would stream writers be used to get information? Also: “sw streamwriter has information from file“: could you be more specific? This doesn’t make sense.

Whatever the case may be; use the debugger luke!
