Question

I am creating a small app for personal use that allows me to clean my lists of objects. I am using a variety of filters to get a finalized list in a multiline text box. When i am finished, I use the following code to copy to the textbox to the clipboard.

    #region COPY BUTTON
    private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Clipboard.SetText(textBox_ListDestination.Text);
    }
    #endregion

What i would like to do now is add another button that allows me to save this same text to a .txt file using the SaveFileDialog. Can anyone help me with this? I am assuming I would use Streaming of some type, but I am out of my element here. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

try

File.WriteAllText (TargetFilePath, textBox_ListDestination.Text);

For more information including sample code see MSDN.

If you want to obtain TargetFilePath via a SaveFileDialog see MSDN.

UPDATE

Sample code using SaveFileDialog:

 if(saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
 {
     File.WriteAllText (saveFileDialog1.FileName, textBox_ListDestination.Text);
 }
