Writing to a Text File

[dsl fahk]

I am new to codeproject, and relatively new to C#. Eventually i got bored of... non-saving uses... and decided i needed to save something. So i tried.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;

namespace FileMaker
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

    private void btnCreate\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Stream myStream;
        SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();

        saveFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (\*.txt)|\*.txt|All files (\*.\*)|\*.\*";
        saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1;
        saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true;

        if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            if ((myStream = saveFileDialog1.OpenFile()) != null)
            {
                StreamWriter wText = new StreamWriter(myStream);
                wText.Write("CHEESE");

                myStream.Close();
            }
        } 
    }
}

}

It doesn't work. When i run the program and click on the button, and go through the save file dialog, a file does appear, but "CHEESE" does not appear in the text file. I cannot figure out why this doesn't work. So how do i fix this so that "CHEESE" appears in the file? Thanks to anybody who helps!

try closing the streamwriter before closing the stream... :)

wText.Close(); MyStream.Close(); unless u close the writer, buffered things will not be explicitly fwded to the disk.
