I could reuse and reopen them, I guess. And I can't really say if I can do the reverse, i.e. disposing of a StreamWriter without closing it. That depends on what Close is supposed to do. So generally, one can't use one for the other. And I would not make an exception in this case. I think that would make code less maintainable and less enhanceable. So practically, it may not make a difference. But from a pure design POV, I think it is basically wrong to use one for the other. -- Rudy Velthuis [TeamB] "Small minds run in the same gutter." -- Alfred E. Neuman
