How to get full path of StreamWriter

c#, streamwriter

Solution

To get the full path from a relative path, use the Path.GetFullPath method.

For example:

string fileName = "relative/path.txt";
string fullPath = Path.GetFullPath(fileName);

Problem

I'm creating a `StreamWriter` using a relative path. But the file doesn't appear. To troubleshoot, I want to check that the full path is what I'm expecting. So having a `StreamWriter` instance, how can I get the full path of the file it's going to write to? ``` string fileName = "relative/path.txt" StreamWriter sw= new StreamWriter(fileName); // What is the full path of 'sw'? ```
