Flushing/closing streams
-
I have the following two chunks of code: 1) NetworkStream networkStream = new NetworkStream(member.socket); System.IO.StreamWriter streamWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter(networkStream); ... 2) NetworkStream networkStream = new NetworkStream(s); System.IO.BinaryWriter bw = new System.IO.BinaryWriter(networkStream); ... What would be the order for closing the streams and flushing? And do I need to do both on both the client and server side? IE: 1) streamWriter.Flush(); streamWriter.Close(); networkStream.Flush(); networkStream.Close(); 2) bw.Flush(); bw.Close(); networkStream.Flush(); networkStream.Close(); Thanks

You don't need to close the
NetworkStreamafter closing theStreamWriter, theStreamWriterdoes it for you. MSDN says "Closes the current StreamWriter and the underlying stream". And closing theStreamWriterflushes it, so you don't need toFlush ``before `Close` In short, all you need is streamWriter.Close(); And you must close it both on the client and the server, each end creates some resources that must be released by calling `Close`.
