save text to text file in vb.net? new to it. none of my code works!

Try this:

WriteTextToFile("C:\whatever\FileLOC.txt", "hello")

I have a list of the new syntax. And it includes the use of text files. Take a look

Ok.. i need textbox1.text to be saved to a text box..please help..new to vb.net!

The way you open the file for write is a bit tricky. Not sure if this is the "right way" but this works for me:

Code:

---

        Try
            fs = File.Open(strFileName, FileMode.CreateNew)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Try
                fs = File.Open(strFileName, FileMode.Truncate)
            Catch ex2 As Exception
                MsgBox(ex.Message)
            End Try
        End Try

---

Function Save_Text_To_File(ByVal FilePath As String, ByVal FileContent As String, _
Optional ByVal Append As Boolean = False) As Boolean

Dim sw As System.IO.StreamWriter
Try
sw = New System.IO.StreamWriter(FilePath, Append)
sw.Write(FileContent)
Return True
Catch e As Exception
Return False
Finally
If Not sw Is Nothing Then sw.Close()
End Try
End Function


Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Call Save_Text_To_File("c:\test.txt", TextBox1.Text, True)
End Sub

What if you don't want to Append though?

then It must be set = false

Would it be easiest to do this?

to copy the text box to a richtextbox and use savefile?

richtextbox1.text=textbox1.text
richtextbox1..SaveFile"c:\text.txt",RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)

the function would be direct solution. (I don't know if Iamthewalrus15's way work out)
