[.net] C# writing to a text file

I want to write the contents of an ArrayList to a txt file. I did this:
it compiles without errors but when i tell it to write to a file it doesn't do anything. it doesn't even open the file if i don't put it there by myself. and when i do put it there it just writes "hello" then "0" - regardless of the length of the AL.
What did i do wrong?
Thanks.
To write an ArrayList to a file, I'd prefer to do the following:
// Make the array listArrayList arrayList= new ArrayList();arrayList.Add("Hello");arrayList.Add("World");// Write it to a fileusing(StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter("playlist2.txt", false)) foreach(object s in arrayList) writer.WriteLine(s.ToString());
This is probably something really stupid to do with the (global) Path; the code looks fine, and the displayed 0 (for the count) shows that's where the problem lies. A method like this shouldn't be using a global anyway, you should pass the list in as a parameter.
Rob's code is neater (foreach loops are great!) but yours should work.

I found the problem - before saving the files i opened media files with an open dialog box, then when i opened the playlist for writing it made a new txt file in the same folder that had the media, to solve this i enabled "restore directory" in the ODB and it worked fine.
Thanks everyone!
