Files is not been written c#

Question

Can someone point me what's wrong with this code? I am simply trying to write to a file, but nothing gets written to the file. Sorry this is a stupid question.. File gets created but nothing is written on to it.

public static void Main(string[] args) {
    StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(@"C:\File\Test.txt");
    writer.WriteLine("Fun Times!");
    Console.WriteLine("Finally !");
    Console.ReadLine();
}

See What is the difference between StreamWriter.Flush() and StreamWriter.Close()? — Alex K.

you should wrap your SteamWriter in a using statement, this will automatically close it after use. — Fredrik

You're not closing the file. One way to do this is to wrap your writer in a using statement:

using(StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(@"C:\File\Test.txt"))
{
    writer.WriteLine("Fun Times!");
}

Console.WriteLine("Finally !");
Console.ReadLine();

You have to Close the StreamWriter writer.Close();

Of course you also can use using, this ensures that the object is always disposed correctly

You can also try:

System.IO.File.WriteAllText("YourPathTpoFile","TheTextShouldBeWrittenInFile");

Have a look at its documentation too.

Also, If you have text in an array then you can write using WriteAllLines:

System.IO.File.WriteAllLines("YourPathTpoFile", stringArrayOfLines);
