Question

            {
                strin         


        

Answer 1

you can avoid create file line because SaveFile will create file for you.

File.Create will return open stream for the file, you need to close it before access again. Do as below If you need to use create file anyway

using(File.Create(path));
richTextBox1.SaveFile(path, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText);
