Overloads

WriteAsync(Char)

Asynchronously writes a character to the stream.

WriteAsync(String)

Asynchronously writes a string to the stream.

WriteAsync(ReadOnlyMemory<Char>, CancellationToken)

Asynchronously writes a character memory region to the stream.

WriteAsync(Char[], Int32, Int32)

Asynchronously writes a subarray of characters to the stream.

WriteAsync(Char)

Source:
StreamWriter.cs
Source:
StreamWriter.cs
Source:
StreamWriter.cs

Asynchronously writes a character to the stream.

public:
 override System::Threading::Tasks::Task ^ WriteAsync(char value);
public override System.Threading.Tasks.Task WriteAsync (char value);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(false)]
public override System.Threading.Tasks.Task WriteAsync (char value);
override this.WriteAsync : char -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task
[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(false)>]
override this.WriteAsync : char -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task
Public Overrides Function WriteAsync (value As Char) As Task

Parameters

value
Char

The character to write to the stream.

Returns

A task that represents the asynchronous write operation.

Attributes

Exceptions

The stream writer is disposed.

The stream writer is currently in use by a previous write operation.

Examples

The following example shows how to write a single character (the letter "a") to a text file by using the WriteAsync(Char) method.

using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program1
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            WriteCharacters();
        }

        static async void WriteCharacters()
        {
            using (StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText("newfile.txt"))
            {
                await writer.WriteAsync('a');
            }
        }
    }
}
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        WriteCharacters()
    End Sub

    Async Sub WriteCharacters()
        Dim oneLetter As Char = "a"
        Using writer As StreamWriter = File.CreateText("newfile.txt")
            Await writer.WriteAsync(oneLetter)
        End Using
    End Sub
End Module

Remarks

This method stores in the task it returns all non-usage exceptions that the method's synchronous counterpart can throw. If an exception is stored into the returned task, that exception will be thrown when the task is awaited. Usage exceptions, such as ArgumentException, are still thrown synchronously. For the stored exceptions, see the exceptions thrown by Write(Char).

Applies to

WriteAsync(String)

Source:
StreamWriter.cs
Source:
StreamWriter.cs
Source:
StreamWriter.cs

Asynchronously writes a string to the stream.

public:
 override System::Threading::Tasks::Task ^ WriteAsync(System::String ^ value);
public override System.Threading.Tasks.Task WriteAsync (string value);
public override System.Threading.Tasks.Task WriteAsync (string? value);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(false)]
public override System.Threading.Tasks.Task WriteAsync (string value);
override this.WriteAsync : string -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task
[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(false)>]
override this.WriteAsync : string -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task
Public Overrides Function WriteAsync (value As String) As Task

Parameters

value
String

The string to write to the stream. If value is null, nothing is written.

Returns

A task that represents the asynchronous write operation.

Attributes

Exceptions

The stream writer is disposed.

The stream writer is currently in use by a previous write operation.

Examples

The following example shows how to write a string to a text file by using the WriteAsync(String) method.

using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program2
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            WriteCharacters();

            using (StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText("newfile.txt"))
            {
                await writer.WriteAsync("Example text as string");
            }
        }

WriteAsync(ReadOnlyMemory<Char>, CancellationToken)

Source:
StreamWriter.cs
Source:
StreamWriter.cs
Source:
StreamWriter.cs

Asynchronously writes a character memory region to the stream.

public override System.Threading.Tasks.Task WriteAsync (ReadOnlyMemory<char> buffer, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
override this.WriteAsync : ReadOnlyMemory<char> * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task
Public Overrides Function WriteAsync (buffer As ReadOnlyMemory(Of Char), Optional cancellationToken As CancellationToken = Nothing) As Task

Parameters

buffer
ReadOnlyMemory<Char>

The character memory region to write to the stream.

cancellationToken
CancellationToken

The token to monitor for cancellation requests. The default value is None.

Returns

Parameters

buffer
Char[]

A character array that contains the data to write.

index
Int32

The character position in the buffer at which to begin reading data.

count
Int32

The maximum number of characters to write.

Returns

A task that represents the asynchronous write operation.

The index plus count is greater than the buffer length.

index or count is negative.

The stream writer is disposed.

The stream writer is currently in use by a previous write operation.

    {
        static void Main()
        {
            WriteCharacters();

        {
            UnicodeEncoding ue = new UnicodeEncoding();
            char[] charsToAdd = ue.GetChars(ue.GetBytes("Example string"));
            using (StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText("newfile.txt"))
            {
                await writer.WriteAsync(charsToAdd, 0, charsToAdd.Length);
            }
        }
