Compilation error trying to save image .NET Core - Argument type 'System.IO.FileStream' is not assignable to parameter type 'System.IO.Stream'

Question

  [HttpPost]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Upload(string memberNumber, IFormFile file)
    {
        var uploadsFolderPath = Path.Combine(_host.WebRootPath, "uploads");

        var fileName = Guid.NewGuid() + Path.GetExtension(file.FileName);
        var filePath = Path.Combine(uploadsFolderPath, fileName);

        using (var stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create))
        {
             // Here's the compilation error
            await file.CopyToAsync(stream);
        }

        var photo = new Photo(fileName);
        var member = _unitOfWork.Members.GetByMemberNumber(memberNumber);
        member.Photo = photo;
        _unitOfWork.Complete();

        return Ok(_mapper.Map<Photo, PhotoResource>(photo));
    }

I'm getting a compilation error trying to save image .NET Core -

Argument type 'System.IO.FileStream' is not assignable to parameter type 'System.IO.Stream' 

Why is that? Should I use another streamwriter? I'm not sure if there's a package missing?

For my case, i had the similar problem. By updating Resharper to the version 2017.2 EAP 3, it solved my problem. If you're also using Resharper, try to update it :
