Managing list files in C#

These are some quick and dirty functions for loading and saving list files in C#. They pretty much suppress all exceptions and won’t give much indication of failure other than SaveList returning false or LoadList returning an empty result set.

            bool result = false;
            try
            {
                using (StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter(path, append))
                {
                    foreach (string s in inputList)
                        streamWriter.WriteLine(s);
                    result = true;
                }
            }
