Represents a writer that can write a sequential series of characters. This class is abstract.
Namespace: System.IO
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
public abstract class TextWriter : IDisposable
Remarks
TextWriter is the abstract base class of StreamWriter and StringWriter, which write characters to streams and strings, respectively. Create an instance of TextWriter to write an object to a string, write strings to a file, or to serialize XML. You can also use an instance of TextWriter to write text to a custom backing store using the same APIs you would use for a string or a stream, or to add support for text formatting.
All the Write methods of TextWriter having primitive data types as parameters write out the values as strings.
By default, a TextWriter is not thread safe. See TextWriter.Synchronized for a thread-safe wrapper.
