Visual C# - Write contents of a textbox to a .txt file

Question

I\'m trying to save the contents of a textbox to a text file using Visual C#. I use the following code:

private void savelog_Click(object sender, EventArgs e         


        

Answer 1

private void savelog_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (folderBrowserDialog3save.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            // create a writer and open the file
            TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(folderBrowserDialog3save.SelectedPath + "logfile1.txt");
            // write a line of text to the file
            tw.WriteLine(logfiletextbox.Text);
            // close the stream
            tw.Close();
            MessageBox.Show("Saved to " + folderBrowserDialog3save.SelectedPath + "\\logfile.txt", "Saved Log File", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
        }
    }

small explanation: tw.WriteLine accepts object so it doesn't care what do you pass. Internally it calls .ToString. If .ToString is not overriden it just returns type's name. .Text is property with contents of TextBox
