Stream Reader and Writer for bigginers

[Guest boskomihic]

What have I to set up so I can start using StreamReader or StreamWriter?

Here is one example of using Stream Reader

 

  Private Function ReadIniFile() As ArrayList
     '****************************************
     '* Read the Ini File into an Array List *
     '****************************************
     Dim srIniFile As System.IO.StreamReader
     Dim strFilePath As String
     Dim alFile As ArrayList = New ArrayList()
     Dim strRec As String
     Try
        mintTotal = 0
        strFilePath = Path.ChangeExtension([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly.Location, "ini")
        srIniFile = System.IO.File.OpenText(strFilePath)

        '*******************************
        '* Read the File               *
        '*******************************
        Do
           strRec = srIniFile.ReadLine()
           If strRec <> Nothing Then
              alFile.Add(strRec)
              mintTotal += 1
           End If
        Loop Until strRec = Nothing
        Return alFile

     Catch ex As Exception
        moErr.LogError(ex)
     Finally
        If Not srIniFile Is Nothing Then
           srIniFile.Close()
        End If
     End Try

  End Function
