Saving a *.txt file in VB 2005 - Help Please

Can someone help me save some text to a text file in VB 2005? (VB 6's way dosn't work)

in VB6 you can use the richtextbox for saving a txt file

in vb 2005 you can use the richtextbox too:

Code:

---

SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
RichTextBox1.SaveFile(SaveFileDialog1.FileName,RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)

---

has you can see i use more objects to these example:
button and savefiledialog(don't forget to write the extencion *.txt)

i hope these helps

PS: in vb6 is more or less the same....

Moved to VB.NET

Thank you for your help, but is there a way to do it without the FD?

vb.net Code:

IO.File.WriteAllText("file path here", myString)

vb Code:

IO.File.WriteAllText("file path here", myString)

When using this code how would I make the file name varie?

The first parameter is just a String. That String can come from anywhere. One place it might come from is the FileName property of an OpenFileDialog, thus allowing the user to select the destination, e.g.

vb.net Code:

Using ofd As New OpenFileDialog
    If ofd.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
        IO.File.WriteAllText(ofd.FileName, Me.TextBox1.Text)
    End If
End Using
