Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	A `null` reference (`Nothing` in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument. This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.
System.IO.IOException	An I/O error has occurred. This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately.
System.NotSupportedException	An invoked method is not supported at all, or is not supported with the parameters used to create the object.
System.Security.SecurityException	A security error was detected. This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately.
System.UnauthorizedAccessException	The operating system has denied access because of an I/O error or a specific type of security error. This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately.

Remarks

This method is similar in purpose to System.IO.FileInfo.AppendText, but is generalized for any kind of writable file info, not just files in the physical file system.
