Namespace: System.IO
Assembly: System.IO (in System.IO.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overridable Sub Close
public virtual void Close()

virtual void Close()
abstract Close : unit -> unit
override Close : unit -> unit
public function Close()
Remarks
This implementation of Close calls the TextWriter..::..Dispose(Boolean) method and passes it a true value.
Flushing the stream will not flush its underlying encoder unless you explicitly call Flush or Close. Setting the StreamWriter.AutoFlush property to true means that data will be flushed from the buffer to the stream, but the encoder state will not be flushed. This allows the encoder to keep its state (partial characters) so that it can encode the next block of characters correctly. This scenario affects UTF8 and UTF7 where certain characters can be encoded only after the encoder receives the adjacent character or characters.
Note
In derived classes, do not override the Close method. Instead, override the TextWriter..::..Dispose(Boolean) method to add code for releasing resources.
