how to read and write into a file using streamwriter and streamreader

Question

I am trying to read the content from a .csv file and storing it in a variable. Later I am writing that content into a newfile. Code is executing successfully but the data is not appearing in new file. Any suggestions please?

Here is my code:

    Dim ioFile As New System.IO.StreamReader("C:\sample.csv")

    Dim ioLine As String 
    Dim ioLines As String 
    ioLine = ioFile.ReadLine
    ioLines = ioLine
    While Not ioLine = ""
        ioLine = ioFile.ReadLine
        ioLines = ioLines & vbCrLf & ioLine

    End While
    Dim ioWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\new.csv")
    ioWriter.WriteLine(ioLines)
    ioFile.Close()
    ioWriter.Close()
