It's Bug? Or it's high way of thinking?

[Guest]

I'm write string in textfile in this sample. When it done, i mast have three
files. Every file mast contain one string. Realy only one file contain
string, what maked inside of my metod (Write). vbc-compiler don't say about
erros. When i define variable as class-field, StreamWriter to act very
strange. It didn't write string in file!
Why?
It's Bug?
Or it's high way of thinking?
May be needs any qualifier before class-fields?
Help me please

I believe the problem is that you're closing the StreamWriter in your
finalizer. By that stage, the StreamWriters themselves may have been
finalized.

If you flush the StreamWriters every time you write, that *might* sort
things out (and probably will, in fact) but relying on finalizers for
this kind of thing is a bad idea. You should be explicitly closing the
streamwriters when you're done with them, not when the garbage
collector decides to kick in.
