You're using a filestream which has a method to return the name used in the constuctor. The streamWriter class doesn't seem to have an equivalent method. As jacob said it's just kinda weird that something so simple isn't built in...although it's probably because it is so simple that they over looked it.

Like i said, it's a silly little thing that just had my curiosity piqued
