Stream Writer not creating text document

Question

I am creating ac# program to output a list of folders and files from a removable drive such as a USB stick or Disc to a text file.

I have a combo box ( cbo1 ) which contains the drives, the start button which is suppose to create the text file and a refresh button ( btnRefresh ) which refreshes and displays what drives are available.

I'm currently working on the start button and using StreamWriter , but for some reason (I can't see why) it's not working.

Any idea's? If you need any other info let me know...

private void enumerateFiles()
{
    using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(
      @"C:\\Users\\r.samways\\Desktop\\test.txt"))
    {
        string selValue = Cbo1.SelectedValue.ToString();

        var _files = System.IO.Directory.EnumerateFiles(
          selValue, 
          "*.*", 
          SearchOption.AllDirectories);

        foreach (string file in _files)
        {
            var fileinfo = new FileInfo(file);
            var _fileLength = fileinfo.Length;
            var _fileName = fileinfo.Name;
            var _fileFullname = fileinfo.FullName;
            writer.WriteLine(_fileFullname);
            {writer.Flush();}
        }

Answer 1

If you use the @ at the start of your path you don't need to escape the back slash. Try this as your path

@"C:\\Users\\r.samways\\Desktop\\test.txt"

Answer 2

try:

StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(@"C:\\Users\\r.samways\\Desktop\\test.txt",false)

also don't forget to close your StreamWriter when finished.

writer.Close();
