[2005] Saving Data to Text File

I have a form, with a bunch of info. Name Number ect on different Text boxes. My question is how do i make it so if you hit the "Save" button it saves all that information to a excel spreadsheet or Txt file?

Code:

---

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles Button1.Click
        SaveTextBoxText("YourFileName")
    End Sub

    Private Sub SaveTextBoxText(ByVal filename As String)
        Dim w As New System.IO.StreamWriter(filename, False)
        w.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text)
        w.WriteLine(TextBox2.Text)
        w.WriteLine(TextBox3.Text)
        w.WriteLine(TextBox4.Text)
        'etc...
        w.Close()
    End Sub

If you have a lot of TextBoxes you could also do;

Code:

---

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles Button1.Click
        SaveTextBoxText("YourFileName")
    End Sub

    Private Sub SaveTextBoxText(ByVal filename As String)
        Dim w As New System.IO.StreamWriter(filename, False)
        For Each ctl As Control In Me.Controls
            If ctl.GetType.ToString = "System.Windows.Forms.TextBox" Then
                w.WriteLine("TextBox " & ctl.Name & " has text " & ctl.Text)
            End If
        Next
        w.Close()
    End Sub

---

But beware that the order the textboxes are written may change if you rename them.

I am not farmiliar with txt files myself but I happen to know about this tutorial. Follow this link : http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/NET/vbNet.html And Find The Heading : "VB .NET Nine - Working with Text Files"
