Textbox info to txt file name

Jeremy.Carter · May 12th, 2011, 10:12 PM

I am working on a project and Im trying to figure out somthing.
I am trying to create a text file using the info that the user inputs
Ex. the user enters thier name in a text box hits the save button and it creates a file called name.txt I have it saving but cant make it save as a .txt file everytime I open the file I have to choose a program to open it with.

Here is an Example of the code:

strFilename = "C:\Users\Desktop\" & Last_NameTextBox.Text

It saves the file as the info I enter but no extention so it dont know what to open the file with

any suggestions
Thank you
Jeremy

HI,

looks like you forgot to append the txt file extension to your filename variable.

Please try it like this:

Code:

 
strFilename = @"C:\Users\Desktop\" & Last_NameTextBox.Text & ".txt"

Hope this helps.
