What is different between FileStream and StreamWriter in dotnet?
A FileStream is a Stream. Like all Streams it only deals with byte[] data.
A StreamWriter : TextWriter, is a Stream-decorator. A TextWriter encodes Text data like string or char to byte[] and then writes it to the linked Stream.
What context are you supposed to use it? What is their advantage and disadvantage?
You use a bare FileStream when you have byte[] data. You add a StreamWriter when you want to write text. Use a Formatter or a Serializer to write more complex data.
Is it possible to combine these two into one?
Yes. You always need a Stream to create a StreamWriter. The helper method System.IO.File.CreateText("path") will create them in combination and then you only have to Dispose() the outer writer.
