Question

I want to create a text file and write some text into this file, but my code cannot create the text file.

Error message:

    UnauthorizedAccessExcepion was unhandled by user code
 Access to the path 'c:\save.txt' is denied.

My code:

 Dim fileLoc As String = "c:\save.txt"
                    Dim fs As FileStream = Nothing
                    If (Not File.Exists(fileLoc)) Then
                        fs = File.Create(fileLoc)
                        Using fs

                        End Using
                    End If
                    If File.Exists(fileLoc) Then
                        Using sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(fileLoc)
                            a = "Test: " + TextBox1.Text
                            c = "=============================================="
                            sw.Write(a)
                            sw.Write(c)
                        End Using
                    End If

In more recent version of Windows, the root of the C: drive is read-only by default. Try putting the file in another folder.
