savefiledialog

[Guest]

hi,

i have a form with a multiline textbox in it. it also has a savefiledialog.
how do i save the text in the textbox?

can anyone help me?

i'd be grateful if you could!

In the simplest form... you would do a ShowDialog() on your SaveFileDialog,
make sure that the DialogResult was one you want to save on... then do
something along the lines of...

StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(YourSaveFileDialog.FileName);
sw.Write (YourTextBox.Text);
sw.Close();

As you see, we create a new StreamWriter to write to the file location
specified by the SaveFileDialog, directly write the text out with the Write()
method, and close the file.

hi there,

the StreamWriter is a missing reference. what is it anyway? is one of those
classes that come with every c# compiler?

string fileContents = _textbox.Text;
string filepath = "MyFilenameAndPath.Txt";

using (TextWriter writer = File.CreateText(filepath))
{
writer.Write(fileContents);
writer.Close();
}

Hope this helps...

type using System.IO; at the top of the source file.
StreamWriter class is in System.IO namespace.

TextWriter, like StreamWriter and most other file IO classes can all be found
in System.IO.
