StreamWriter Constructor (String^, Boolean, Encoding^, Int32)
Initializes a new instance of the StreamWriter class for the specified file on the specified path, using the specified encoding and buffer size. If the file exists, it can be either overwritten or appended to. If the file does not exist, this constructor creates a new file.

| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | path is an empty string (""). -or- path contains the name of a system device (com1, com2, and so on). |
| ArgumentNullException | path or encoding is null. |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | bufferSize is negative. |
| IOException | path includes an incorrect or invalid syntax for file name, directory name, or volume label syntax. |
| SecurityException | The caller does not have the required permission. |
| UnauthorizedAccessException | Access is denied. |
| DirectoryNotFoundException | The specified path is invalid (for example, it is on an unmapped drive). |
| PathTooLongException | The specified path, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length. For example, on Windows-based platforms, paths must not exceed 248 characters, and file names must not exceed 260 characters. |
This constructor initializes the Encoding property using the encoding parameter. For additional information, see Encoding.
path can be a file name, including a file on a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) share.
path is not required to be a file stored on disk; it can be any part of a system that supports access via streams.
