int main()
{
   String^ path = "c:\\MyTest.txt";
   FileInfo^ fi = gcnew FileInfo( path );
   if (  !fi->Exists )
   {
      //Create a file to write to.
      StreamWriter^ sw = fi->CreateText();
      try
      {
         sw->WriteLine( "Hello" );
         sw->WriteLine( "And" );
         sw->WriteLine( "Welcome" );
      }
      finally
      {
         if ( sw )
            delete (IDisposable^)sw;
      }
   }

   //Open the file to read from.
   StreamReader^ sr = fi->OpenText();
   try
   {
      String^ s = "";
      while ( s = sr->ReadLine() )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( s );
      }
   }
   finally
   {
      if ( sr )
         delete (IDisposable^)sr;
   }
}
//This code produces output similar to the following; 
//results may vary based on the computer/file structure/etc.:
//
//Hello
//And
//Welcome

using System.IO;

class Test
{

    public static void Main()
    {
        string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt";
        FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(path);

        if (!fi.Exists)
        {
            //Create a file to write to.
            using (StreamWriter sw = fi.CreateText())
            {
                sw.WriteLine("Hello");
                sw.WriteLine("And");
                sw.WriteLine("Welcome");
            }
        }

        //Open the file to read from.
        using (StreamReader sr = fi.OpenText())
        {
            string s = "";
            while ((s = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(s);
            }
        }
