Reading and Writing to a file text file in C#

Lets start by taking the below  code as an example:    private void WriteToAFile(){             string data = "hi ! what's up";             string path = "data.txt";             if (!File.Exists(path))             {                 File.Create(path);             }             using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(path, append: true))             {                 writer.WriteLine(data);             } } Writing to a text file can be achieved by using StreamWriter class . To use this class we need to use System.IO namespace. if we are writing to a file then exception might occur if the file doesn't exists. So firstly we need to check if the File Exists. If it doesn't exist we can create a file in the path specified. Here in example I haven't provided the fully qualified path like  "C:\Users\Mypc\project\Sample" absolute path  but rather used relative path by providing only the file name. Th
