Generate Class.vb File Programmatically

[Alex_AMF]

Hello,

I want to create a class builder which will get the tables from the specified database and build my [className].vb file - at the push of a button!

For example:

        Dim strBuilder As New StringBuilder

        strBuilder.Append("Public class clsExample" & vbCrLf)

        'Create variables
        strBuilder.Append("Private _ID As String")
        strBuilder.Append(vbCrLf)

        'Create properties
        strBuilder.Append("Public Property _ID() As Integer" & vbCrLf)
        strBuilder.Append("Get" & vbCrLf)
        strBuilder.Append("return _ID" & vbCrLf)
        strBuilder.Append("end Get" & vbCrLf)
        strBuilder.Append("Set(ByVal Value As Integer)" & vbCrLf)
        strBuilder.Append("_ID = Value" & vbCrLf)
        strBuilder.Append("End Set" & vbCrLf)
        strBuilder.Append("End Property " & vbCrLf)
        strBuilder.Append(vbCrLf)
        strBuilder.Append(vbCrLf & "End Class")

        Console.Write(strBuilder.ToString())

To get this result in the clsExample.vb file that was created using the previous code

Public Class clsExample
        Private _ID As String
        Public Property _ID() As Integer
            Get
                Return _ID
            End Get
            Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
                _ID = Value
            End Set
        End Property


    End Class

I'm not sure how to go about telling the program to create the [className].vb file and include my strBuilder as code in the file. Hope this makes sense...
