[RESOLVED] Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'New' can be called without a narrow

[davebat]

Im working on a really old site and the following line is causing an error

         
Dim newFile As FileStream = New FileStream(Server.MapPath(sSavePath + sFilename), System.IO.FileMode.Create, System.IO.FileShare.ReadWrite)

Any ideas how to correct this issue

Not completely sure if it will help but worth a try (unfamiliar with vb.net)

Dim newFile As New FileStream(Server.MapPath(sSavePath + sFilename), System.IO.FileMode.Create, System.IO.FileShare.ReadWrite)

exactly the same error, but thanks for trying. Unfortuantely I never properly learnt any programming so have no idea about the diffeerence between new and = etc

[davebat]

sorted, i changed too

     Dim filepath As String = (Server.MapPath(sSavePath & sFilename))
          Dim newFile As FileStream
          newFile = New FileStream(filepath, FileMode.Append)

Out of interest, what was the exception that you were seeing?

Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'New' can be called without a narrow

Although error message is partially posted here, I assumed it was "Overload resolution failed because no accessible '<method>' can be called without a narrowing conversion: <error>:"

Got the reference at MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=VS.90).aspx

Since I do not know VB much, I am not sure if assigning a new instance varies on where it is done. I also miss out on "+" and "&" for string concatenation (I thought they were same).
