StreamReader reads, but StreamWriter doesn't write...

[cagey cretin]

I have set up a catch/try deal to find an error, but there are none
reported nor when I clean the build/rebuild. Simple filecalled
text_file.txt. I cannot write to it, but I can write into it with
notepad and read it with StreamReader.

Can anyone show me the error of my ways?

//AppendText() Method
#using <mscorlib.dll>
using namespace System;
void main()
{
bool fileProblem;
//Declare StreamWriter Variable and Create Text File
IO::StreamWriter *outFile;
outFile =
IO::File::AppendText("text_file.txt");
//Close file so error is not reported
outFile->Close();
//Declare variable to assign to text entered
String *line;
//Gather info to write to file
Console::WriteLine("Enter Name:");
line =
Convert::ToString(Console::ReadLine());
try
{
outFile =
IO::File::AppendText("text_file.txt");
}
catch(IO::IOException *ex)
{
fileProblem = true;
Console::WriteLine(ex->Message);
}
if (fileProblem = false)
{
outFile->WriteLine(line);
}
Console::WriteLine("You entered {0}",
line);
outFile->Close();
}

No. This is a VB.NET group (see group name).

Hi Cagey,

Are you sure you are in the right newsgroup.
The VC group is two three rows higher, on top just above the csharp
newgroup.

I hope this helps,
