Is it a streamwriter bug? Because nothing is using a text file while
i'm trying to save through my project.

no, it's not a bug in the streamwriter - it's a bug in your code. and
if your code for loading the file is similar to the saving code, then
i can see why. you are never closing the resource. you need to call
close on the streamwriter (and streamreader) when you are done with
them....

using sr as new streamreader(myfile)
' do stuff
end using

using the using block will ensure that the streamreader is properly
cleand up when the block ends. Basically, it will compile like you
had done something like:

dim sr as streamreader = nothing
try
sr = new streamreader(myfile)
' do stuff
finally
if not isnothing(sr) then
sr.dispose()
end finally

you need to do the same with your streamreader.

I was using this for streamwriter also of streamreader before i posted
with no help:
Try
......
Catch

Finally
If Not myStreamWriter Is Nothing Then
myStreamWriter.Close()
End If
