• Visual C# Append records to existing StreamWriter file

Now, from what I could 'glean' from the numerous books/websites out there, to append records to an existing file one needs to set the StreamWriter to true like this: m_objOutput = new StreamWriter( strFileName, true ); The output file gets created; however, when I run my app, nothing is written to the file.
