Courses Plus Student 2,664 PointsC# Serializing Coding Challenge - Issue with wrapping the StreamReader object in a 'using' statement.
using( var reader = new StreamReader(fileName) )
I'm not sure why the code for task 2 doesn't work. I've tried it with and without curly braces/brackets. I've tried instantiating the StreamReader object and THEN passing it to the using statment, even though that is not the recommended way. No matter what I do the response I get is, "Did you wrap your StreamReader object in a using statement?" The syntax here should be just like what we have done already. Maybe there is something obviously wrong with my code, but I'm just not realizing it.
