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);
System.IO.File.WriteAllText("myfile.txt", textBox.Text);
If you're stuck on some brain-dead version of the BCL, then you can write that function yourself:
static void WriteAllText(string path, string txt) {
var bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(txt);
using (var f = File.OpenWrite(path)) {
f.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
}
Try this:
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// replace string with your file path and name file.
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("line.txt"))
{
sw.WriteLine(MyTextBox.Text);
}
}
Of course, add exception handling etc.
