Just that line doesn't help us put it in context to work out what else you may be doing.
So the code above that line - you say that "you can write once in the file" - may be relevant as well.

At a guess, you are trying to reuse the file stream that you used for writing the file, and that is probably the cause of the problem. If the stream is open from writing, you probably can't reuse it for reading via a separate StreamReader!
