Saving files location

[Uranium Falcoln]

I have used the following code too save a notepad file;

Dim responsedialogueResult As DialogResult
        Dim savedataFile As New SaveFileDialog
        With savedataFile
            Dim SP, Quiz, f1 As String
            SP = Application.StartupPath
            Quiz = "Quizes"
            f1 = Path.Combine(SP, Quiz)
            .InitialDirectory = f1
            .FileName = saveas
            .Title = "Select file or directory file"
            responsedialogueResult = .ShowDialog
            .DefaultExt = "txt"
            .Filter = "Text files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
            .OverwritePrompt = True
            .AddExtension = True
        End With
        If responsedialogueResult <> Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel Then
            filesave = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter(saveas, False)

The code saves files but only in the 'Application.StartupPath' folder, the save dialogue starts in the correct place a quizzes folder inside the debug folder but files can't be saved here or in folders inside it, even though you can browse them in the dialogue. I want it saving where navigated to in the dialogue. Any help?

Look at the value you're passing to OpenTextFileWriter for the file path. Is that the path that the user chose?

ugh...
well first, you're calling .ShowDialog in the middle of setting your properties... that should be the LAST thing you do...
secondly, you never get the filename or path that the user selected...
