C Sharp (C#) - File IO
Identify the error in the following code snippet that uses a using statement with a file stream:
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream("data.txt", FileMode.Open))
    byte[] buffer = new byte[100];
    fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
AFileMode.Open is invalid for reading
BMissing braces {} after the using statement
CBuffer size should be 0
DFileStream cannot be used with using
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check using statement syntax

    The using statement requires braces {} to define the scope of the resource usage.
  2. Step 2: Analyze the code block

    Without braces, only the first line after using is considered inside the block. The buffer declaration and read call are outside, causing a compile error.
  3. Final Answer:

    Missing braces {} after the using statement -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Using needs braces for multiple statements [OK]
Quick Trick: Always use braces {} after using for multiple lines [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Omitting braces for multiple statements
  • Confusing FileMode.Open with invalid mode
  • Thinking buffer size must be zero
