[RESOLVED] Trouble writing to a .txt file

[callydata]

I am trying to write to a .txt file here is my code:

Dim oFile As System.IO.File
        Dim oWrite As System.IO.StreamWriter
        oWrite = oFile.CreateText("C:\New.txt")
        oWrite.WriteLine("This is just a test.")
        oWrite.WriteLine()

The code will create a new txt file, but it will not write the text to the file.

thanks

Add these 2 lines at the end:

oWrite.Flush()
oWrite.Close()

First off, CreateText is a Shared method so you should just qualify it with the class name rather than a variable name, i.e.

oWrite = IO.File.CreateText("C:\New.txt")

Secondly, you have call Close on the StreamWriter to flush the data to the file and close it.
