Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\10.0\fileName' is denied

I want to create a csv file and save it in a particular folder. My code is as below:

string Name = UserID + "HistoricalRecords.csv";
string fileName = "C:\\Temp\\"+Name;
TextWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter("fileName");

However, I am still getting the above error. I am not saving the file to that path though. Any idea as to why I am getting this error and how can I solve it?

You are referring literally here:

TextWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter("fileName");

and, because there is no full path given, it goes to the current working directory, which happens to be C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\10.0\

you should use the variable name:

TextWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter(fileName);
