Help Saving XML Data

Im currently writing an XML program where you can submit information about a person through comboboxes and textboxes. Im running into problems saving the data to a certain folder.

For Example: Creating Football Player information

- Enter Name of Player (textbox)
- Enter Team Name (choose from combobox)
- Enter Position (choose from combobox)
- etc

I would like to save the data in a file named for the Team Name and Position Name

Example, if the Team Name selected was "Washington Redskins" and the Position selected was "Quarterback", I would like to save the file to C:\Washington Reskins\Quarterback
My Current Code is as follows:

VB Code:

Code:
Public ReadOnly Property DataFilename() As String 
        Get 
 
            Dim folderpath1 As String = cmbNewTeam.Text 
            Dim folderpath2 As String = cmbNewPosition.Text 
 
 
            ' get our working folder... 
            Dim folder As String 
            folder = "c:\" & folderpath1 "\" & folderpath2 "\" 
 
 
            ' return the folder with the name "Player Profile.xml"... 
            Return folder & "\Player Profile.xml" 
        End Get 
    End Property

If you look at the "folder =" part, you can see what Im trying to do. I just need the correct format for doing this. I know someone out there can figure this simple problem out. Thanks!!

Wouldn't it be easier to store all the info in the same file just in different groups?

<NFL>
<Green Bay Packers>
<Quarterback>
<Player name="Bret Favre" number="4"/>
</Quarterback>
</Green Bay Packers>
</NFL>

Anyway:

VB Code:

Public Function DataFilename(ByVal team As String, ByVal position As String) As String 
      ' get our working folder... 
      Dim folder As String 
      folder = "c:\" & team & "\" & position
 
      ' return the folder with the name "Player Profile.xml"... 
      Return Io.Path.Combine(folder,"Player Profile.xml")
End Function 
 
'syntax for use
Msgbox(DataFileName(cmbNewTeam.Text, cmbNewPosition.Text))

You are probably right, I have only been programming (or attempting to) for 2 weeks. Thanks for the help though!!!!

Now Im getting this error:


An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Could not find a part of the path "c:\Buffalo Bills\QB".


And it takes me to this line:

VB Code:

'  Open the file...
        Dim stream As New FileStream(tempFilename, FileMode.Create)

I have created this folder prior to running the application
