What's considered the "correct" way to read and write text files in .net
2003? I see a filestream class but then it seems most access is done
via streamreader and streamwriter.

StreamReader/Writer are the ones I use all the time. I believe they
inherit from filestream class.

Ok, sometimes this is pretty confusing. As a side note I see the
richtextbox has it's own writing functionality as well.

I'll use the streamreader/writer too.

They don't inherit from this class. They are simply tools to access
text data in a stream. However, 'StreamReader'/'StreamWriter' are the
way to go when reading or writing text files.
 
Hi cj,

Thanks for your post!

The article below gives a brief introducation to I/O operation in .Net:

Hope it helps
