abstract class

This class writes strings of characters to a stream. Encoding sets the encoding of the produced text; change the object that provides formatting by setting FormatProvider . To change the newline character produced in your text, set the NewLine property. To write to a stream, call either Write( ) or WriteLine( ) . To clear the current buffer of characters, use Flush( ) . As always, Close( ) allows you to free the resources in use by the TextWriter .
