Where is my FileStream-created file saved?

I am following this tutorial, but I am not where my pdf file is saved to? Thanks for the help!

using System; 
using com.lowagie.text;
using com.lowagie.text.pdf;
using System.IO;

public class Chap0101 
{

public static void Main(string[] args) 
{
    Console.WriteLine("Chapter 1 example 1: Hello World");

    // step 1: creation of a document-object
    Document document = new Document();

    // step 2:
    // we create a writer that listens to the document
    // and directs a PDF-stream to a file
    PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileStream("Chap0101.pdf", FileMode.Create));

    // step 3: we open the document
    document.open();

    // step 4: we add a paragraph to the document
    document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));

    // step 5: we close the document
    document.close();
}
}

It will be in a working directory of your executable, i.e. next to it. If you ran this from Visual Studio, look into projectDirectory\bin\Debug.

It is probably saving the the default location that Visual Studio is specifying.

You should change your FileStream statement to define the location:

PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileStream("c:\\Chap0101.pdf", FileMode.Create));

Visual Studio defaults can be modified but most likely look in (assuming 2010):

\Users\{yourUsername}\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\...\bin\Debug
