Question

I want to set both the name and the location for a writeline procedure. I am allowing the user to select the path using a dialog box but can’t seem to set both the name and location w/o getting an error. I am using VS 2010.

        strFileLocation = dlgFolderBrowser.SelectedPath

    Dim swrExportFile As New StreamWriter(strFileLocation)

Thanks in advance, Josh

I’m not 100% sure this is what you mean, but by name and location; do you mean filename and the directory the file will be in?

If so, you can pass it in as one to the StreamWriter:

Dim swrExportFile as New StreamWriter("C:\My\File\Location\" + "myFileName.txt")
