AI Thread Summary
To write data to a CSV file using the StreamWriter class in C#, the following steps are essential. First, prepare the data in a suitable format, such as a string with comma-separated values. For example, the data "Bob,1,2,3\nJim,4,5,6\nTom,7,8,9" can be used. Next, specify the file path where the CSV will be saved, such as "C:\test1.txt". Utilize the StreamWriter class to create a new instance, passing the file path, a boolean for appending data, and the encoding type. Use the WriteLine method to write each line of data to the file. After writing, ensure to flush the StreamWriter to save changes and close the file to release resources. This process effectively creates a CSV file with the desired data.

using System.IO; // file readers and writers

string myInputLine = "some line to be written to a file";

string fileSpecification = "C:\test1.txt";

StreamWriter filewriter = new StreamWriter(
fileSpecification, true, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);

filewriter.WriteLine(myInputLine);
filewriter.Flush();

filewriter.Close();
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
