The StreamWriter.Close() says it also closes the underlying stream of the StreamWriter. What about StreamWriter.Dispose ? Does Dispose also dispose and/or close the underlying stream

Yes, StreamReader , StreamWriter , BinaryReader and BinaryWriter all close/dispose their underlying streams when you call Dispose on them.
StreamWriter. Write() method is responsible for writing text to a stream. StreamWriter class is inherited from TextWriter class that provides methods to write an object to a string, write strings to a file, or to serialize XML. StreamWriter is defined in the System.IO namespace.
Clears all buffers for the current writer and causes any buffered data to be written to the underlying stream.
The StreamWriter class in C# is used for writing characters to a stream. It uses the TextWriter class as a base class and provides the overload methods for writing data into a file. The StreamWriter is mainly used for writing multiple characters of data into a file.
StreamWriter.Close() just calls StreamWriter.Dispose() under the bonnet, so they do exactly the same thing. StreamWriter.Dispose() does close the underlying stream.
