c# - Create a .txt file if doesn't exist, and if it does append a new line

Question

I would like to create a .txt file and write to it, and if the file already exists I just want to append some more lines:

string path = @"E:AppServExample.txt";
if (!File.Exists(path))
{
    File.Create(path);
    TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(path);
    tw.WriteLine("The very first line!");
    tw.Close();
}
else if (File.Exists(path))
{
    TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(path);
    tw.WriteLine("The next line!");
    tw.Close(); 
}

But the first line seems to always get overwritten... how can I avoid writing on the same line (I'm using this in a loop)?

I know it's a pretty simple thing, but I never used the WriteLine method before. I'm totally new to C#.

Use the correct constructor:

else if (File.Exists(path))
{
    using(var tw = new StreamWriter(path, true))
    {
        tw.WriteLine("The next line!");
    }
}
