Change the user name to yours
[php]Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim TextFile As New StreamWriter("c:\Users\Zack\Desktop\test.txt")
TextFile.WriteLine("Text here")
' make more of these TextFile.WriteLine("Text here")to get more lines.
TextFile.Close()

Professionally and commercially you would want to do this without hard-coding the direct path , because if a 3rd party uses it, they will not be able to save the txt file to the desktop path.
Use
[php]
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim DesktopPath As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolde r.DesktopDirectory)
Dim TextFile As New StreamWriter(DesktopPath & test.txt")
TextFile.WriteLine("Text here") ' or textbox.text
' make more of these TextFile.WriteLine("Text here")to get more lines.
TextFile.Close()
End Sub
[/php]
A good note to all developers is to remember that vb.net allows you to access user folders as special folders without hardcoding the user name and path
[php]
Environment.SpecialFolder.
[/php]
This will give you access to
Cookies
Desktop
My Pictures
My Documents
History
etc
etc
Without the need for the username
added to code snippets vault post 1
this will allow saving to anyones desktop
