Answer 1

StreamWriter has a constructor which lets you append text instead of just writing into the file. The constructor is

new StreamWriter(string filepath, bool append)

If you set that bool to "true", then all writing will be at the end of the document. In your example...

StreamWriter Tex = new StreamWriter(@"D:\DOT_NET\C#\abc.txt", true);

just work around to this add "\n" before line

for example :

 tw.Write("\nWhy Did the Chicken Cross the Road?");

Answer 3

using (StreamWriter sw = File.AppendText(path)) 
{
   sw.WriteLine("...");
}
