Question

I am creating a csv file and attaching it to an email like so…

using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(csv)))
            {
                try
                {
                    to = "[e-mail]";
                    string from = "[e-mail]";
                    string subject = "Order p"+ OrderNumber;
                    string body = result;
                    SmtpClient SMTPServer = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1");
                    MailMessage mailObj = new MailMessage(from, to, subject, body);
                    Attachment attachment = new Attachment(stream, new ContentType("text/csv"));
                    attachment.Name = "p" + OrderNo + "_" + CustomerReference+".csv";
                    mailObj.Attachments.Add(attachment);
                    SMTPServer.Send(mailObj);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                { }
            }

This works fine, but how to i save the same csv file to a folder?thanks

The File.WriteAllText method in System.IO is probably the simplest way to accomplish this:

File.WriteAllText("<destination>", csv);

where <destination> is the path of the file to save the CSV to. This file will be created if it doesn’t exist yet, otherwise it will be overwritten.
