if System.IO.StreamWriter write throws an exception, is there anyway to close the System.IO.StreamWr

[Daniel]

if System.IO.StreamWriter write throws an exception, is there anyway to
close the System.IO.StreamWriter object? it seems to stay open when this
happens then future attempts to write to that same path fail because it says
its in use by another process.

You can use the using statment do something like this

using(StreamWriter sw=new StreamWriter(fs))
{
// do something you like.
}

In this case, even this an exception, it will be closed.

another option besides using

StreamWriter sw;
try{
.. use sw here
}
catch(Exception){
handle excpetion here
}
finally{
sw.close();
}

This will work, but personally, I think the using statement is much
cleaner solution to this kind of issue.
