Why can't a call a different constructor?(C#)

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);
