Hi Paul,

>Also, I'd suggest putting the Close() in a Finally section of a Try/Catch.

Why do I get a "Use of unassigned local variable "stream" in the finally section.

FileStream stream;
XmlSerializer xml;
try
{
    stream = File.Create(saveName);
    xml = new XmlSerializer(spotStarter.GetType());
    xml.Serialize(stream, spotStarter);

    Debug.WriteLine("Saved", "Queue Item: " + saveName);
    llSuccess = true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Debug.WriteLine("Saving to Queue", "Error: " + ex.Message);
    LogException(ex);
}
finally
{
    stream.Close();
}
