I am trying to write to a text file and just add to the end of the file. According to the vb 2008 programers reference book I can use streamwriter appendtext. However appendtext is not recognized. The error says its not declared. Here is some code:

Dim stream_writer As StreamWriter
stream_writer = AppendText(txtFileName.Text)
stream_writer.WriteLine(txtText.Text)
stream_writer.Close()

or using the code straight from the book:

Dim filename as string ="test.txt"
using sw as streamwriter= appendtext(filename)
sw.write(txtdata.text)
sw.close()
end using

Both result in an error saying appendtext not declared. I also tried createtext, opentext, and exist and none of them are recognized.

I have included at in my code: imports system.io do I need soemthing else?

Any Ideas?

Google is your friend.

Thanks for your help. However I discovered that my code was written just fine I just needed to include along with imports system.io

imports system.io.file

once I included this my code worked great.

If google was so helpful there would be no point in this forum, also if google is the most widely used and promoted web search engine in the world don't you think that we would of already searched it? and just maybe we couldn't quite find what we wanted? because funnily enough google doesn't answer questions it merely produces web pages that contains what we wanted to search for NOT an answer!
So in short it is no use what so ever telling us to search google!
Also stating google is your friend then referencing to microsofts msdn is as about as intuative as saying to get to a foreign country go on bmiBaby but look here at ba flights!
MSDN is the friend NOT google
