Multiple instances of StreamWriter working on multiple different disk files in multiple different tasks. Could I run into threading problems?

I have a C# application that creates multiple tasks (class System.Threading.Tasks.Task). Each of these tasks writes to a file, each one writes to a different file from the others, using a different StreamWriter instance.

Microsoft's docs says that: "By default, a StreamWriter is not thread safe."

This means that I could run into problems also in the case described above?

"StreamWriter is not thread safe." only means that it is not safe to use multiple threads on the SAME StreamWriter instance.

Since you are saying each task is writing to a different file with its own dedicated instance of StreamWriter, you do not have a problem. You need not do synchronization in your scenario. Only if a single streamwriter instance is used by multiple thread functions then there is a need to do lock based synchronization.
