text editor saving problem

Hi guys

I'm just in the process of writing a text editor and am having trouble working out why my program doesn't save files.
Any chance that someone can look at my code and work out why it wont??
Here is my code:

Code:

---

Imports system.Windows.Forms
Imports System.IO

Public Class form

    Private mFileName As String
    Private modified As Boolean

Thanks heaps guys....:)

Also getting the same exception when opening a file.

It's saying that the file format is not valid.

The annoying thing is that it was working before i added a lot of other functionality.

hi man even Im creating a text editor but an mdi one anyway the problem is ur not saving as the stream u have to save stuff like this
If RtbEditor is your richtextbox then

Code:

---

RtbEditor.SaveFile(SaveFileDialog.FileName, _
                                        RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)

Oh ya even for opening files its

---

RtbEditor.LoadFile(OpenFileDialog.FileName, _
                                RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)

Sure man Your code really helped me out I just posted a topic asking about saving files that have already been saved and are modified
Cool

Nah no go mate. Did the same thing as my current code.
I can't understand what i would have changed that would stop it from working.
The only thing i've added to those methods is modified = true/false but i wouldnt have thought that would change it.
