I am trying to code a Visual Basic 2019 console app that makes use of the
StreamReader object to read text from a file. According to the Microsoft
documentation for the StreamReader object, when it is initialized, you pass
a string with the path of the file to be opened, such as
Using reader as StreamReader = new StreamReader("c:\sample.txt")
However, all of the Microsoft documentation has the path hard-coded, not as
a variable. In my code, I am declaring a variable as type string,
calculating its value at runtime, and passing that string to StreamReader as
an argument.
Dim thisFile as string
Using reader as StreamReader = new StreamReader(thisFile)
This results in a compile-time error, BC30311 Value of type 'String' cannot
be converted to 'Stream'
What data type do I need to declare the variable as, instead of as a string,
for this to compile and work?
