File write

If the target file already exists, it is overwritten. Creates a new file, writes the specified string to the file, and then closes the file. Creates a new file, writes the specified string to the file using the specified encoding, and then closes the file. NET Framework and.

NET Core versions older than 2. You can query for invalid characters by using the GetInvalidPathChars method. The following code example demonstrates the use of the WriteAllText method to write text to a file. If the write operation is successful, the position within the file stream advances by the number of bytes written. If an exception occurs, the position within the file stream remains unchanged. The zero-based byte offset in array from which to begin copying bytes to the stream.

Another thread may have caused an unexpected change in the position of the operating system's file handle. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the Lock method. This method overrides Write. The offset parameter gives the offset of the byte in array the buffer index at which to begin copying, and the count parameter gives the number of bytes that will be written to the stream.

If the write operation is successful, the current position of the stream is advanced by the number of bytes written. If an exception occurs, the current position of the stream is unchanged. The following examples show only the minimum amount of code needed. A real-world app usually provides more robust error checking and exception handling. The following example shows how to use the StreamWriter class to synchronously write text to a new file one line at a time. Because the StreamWriter object is declared and instantiated in a using statement, the Dispose method is invoked, which automatically flushes and closes the stream.

The following example shows how to use the StreamWriter class to synchronously append text to the text file created in the first example. The following example shows how to asynchronously write text to a new file using the StreamWriter class. Contents Exit focus mode. Is this page helpful?
