Save Contents Of a TextBox To a File


I'm developing an application that has a TextBox. I want to write its contents to a file, but how can I do this?


Solution

  • There are many ways to accomplish this, the simplest being:

     using(var stream = File.CreateText(path))
     {
          stream.Write(text);
     }
    

    Be sure to look at the MSDN page for File.CreateText and StreamWriter.Write.

    If you weren't targeting the .NET Compact Framework, as your tags suggest, you could do even simpler:

     File.WriteAllText(path, string);
