Thread Safety

All public static members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. No instance members are guaranteed to be thread safe.

Remarks

System.IO.TextWriter is designed for character output, whereas the System.IO.Stream class is designed for byte input and output.

Note: By default, a System.IO.TextWriter is not thread safe. See TextWriter.Synchronized(TextWriter) for a thread-safe wrapper.
