So I'm trying to run the following:

PHP Code:

 string[] lines = { "First line", "Second line", "Third line" };
            Windows.ApplicationModel.Package package = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current;
            Windows.Storage.StorageFolder installedLocation = package.InstalledLocation;
            string myDocPath = installedLocation.Path;
            string fullPath = myDocPath + @"\WriteLines.txt";
            using (StreamWriter outputFile = new StreamWriter(fullPath))
            {
                foreach (string line in lines)
                    outputFile.WriteLine(line);
            } 


But I get the error "cannot convert from string to system.IO.Stream", pointing to fullPath when I try to pass it on to the constructor for StreamWriter.



According to this there should be an overloaded constructor for it to create the object via a string: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...v=vs.110).aspx

So why does it tell me it expects a Stream object? Am I missing something?  

I was able to pass a string in as a parameter successfully:

PHP Code:

var path = @"C:\Temp\aaron.txt";
using (var sw = new StreamWriter(path))
{
     //..
} 


Which assembly is Windows.ApplicationModel.Package located in?

It's also worth mentioning that you can get rid of that loop and replace it with a call to WriteAllLines() if all you're doing is saving the contents of your array to a file

PHP Code:

var path = @"C:\Temp\aaron.txt";
string[] lines = { "First line", "Second line", "Third line" };
System.IO.File.WriteAllLines(path, lines);
