> Hello, I have  a VB.NET code that creates a StreamWriter file first
> and then it does a series of procedures that write lines for this
> StreamWriter.  When all the procedures are done, the StreamWriter is
> flushed and closed and all the lines get written to the text.

> However, if for some reason one of the procedures fails. The
> StreamWriter doesn't write anything at all and the file ends up empty.
> Is there a way to save (or actually write) the lines stored in the

> ' Setting up the log and write date and time of process startup Dim sw

> sw.WriteLine("The Process starts here.")

> sw.writeline("start of procedure 1")
> procedure1
> sw.writeline("end of procedure 1")

> sw.Flush()
> ' close the stream writer

> As you can see, if nothing bad happens, the streamwriter works fine.
> However, if  something in any of the procedures fails, the
