StreamWriter Constructor (Stream)
Initializes a new instance of the StreamWriter class for the specified stream, using UTF-8 encoding and the default buffer size.
Namespace: System.IO
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- stream
- Type: System.IO::Stream
The stream to write to.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | stream is not writable. |
| ArgumentNullException | stream is nullptr. |
This constructor creates a StreamWriter with UTF-8 encoding without a byte order mark (BOM), so its GetPreamble method returns an empty byte array. The BaseStream property is initialized using the stream parameter.
The StreamWriter object calls Dispose on the provided Stream object when StreamWriter::Dispose is called.
