very simple loop with strange output

[bouy78]

I now know that I know nothing...

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace ADODotNet
{ public class Class1
{ public Random r = new Random();
string[] nodes = new string[] { "192.168.0.0", "192.168.0.1",
"192.168.0.2", "192.168.0.3", "192.168.0.4", "192.168.0.5",
"192.168.0.6", "192.168.0.7", "192.168.0.8", "192.168.0.9" };
public TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("c:\\populate.txt");
[STAThread]
public static void Main()
{ Class1 mc = new Class1();
for (int i = 0; i <= 299; i++) //mornin
mc.putIP();
}
public void putIP()
{ tw.Write(nodes[r.Next(10)]);
tw.Write(" , ");
tw.Write(tw.NewLine);
}
}
}

I thought I'd get 300 lines but instead I get 256...why

Try a tw.Flush() after the for(). Does that help?

let me use tw in Main....im extremely new to c#

nevermind it worked!!!thanks a million...what was wrong

[Bruce Wood]

In Main:

mc.FlushMe();

then write the method

public void FlushMe()
{
this.tw.Flush();
}

Main is a static function so does not have access to any module variables in
your class. A static function is just like a global function but placed in
your class for readability.
