StreamReader problem

[kettch]

I start out by having a streamwriter write to a memorystream. Then later on I want to retrieve the data from the memorystream. The code, in it's basic form, looks like this:

        Dim ms As New MemoryStream
        Dim sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(ms)

	    //code that writes to the stream

        Dim sr As New StreamReader(ms)
        Dim tmp As String
        tmp = sr.ReadToEnd()
        sr.Close()

In debug mode, I can see that the memory stream has the right length, there should be data in it, but nothing comes out.

What could be causing this? If I need to post more of the code, I can.

Thanks

Where do you ever use sw?

I havent used memorystream so I dont know if they are the same as filestream. But one thing I often succeed in doing wrong when working with streams is that i forget to set the position of the stream to the beginning after I have written/read it.

So if you have written to your memorystream and now tries to read the same stream try:

ms.Position = 0
