The other person might be your program. Are you using the file previously in the same program?

Check that StreamWriter is closed and file is closed

Hi Mayur,
try this:

string path = "C:\\mytest.txt";

                  if (File.Exists(path))
                  {
                        File.Delete(path);
                  }

                  using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write))
                  {
                      StreamWriter m_streamWriter = new StreamWriter(fs);
                      m_streamWriter.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End);
                      m_streamWriter.WriteLine("ddd", "dddd", "dsdsd");
                      m_streamWriter.Flush();
                  }
