Question

my code is-

Stream myStream;
saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();

saveFileDialog1.Filter = "Ticket files (*.tkt)|*.tkt";
saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1;
saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true;
saveFileDialog1.Title = "Save text Files";

if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
   myStream = saveFileDialog1.OpenFile();
   if (myStream != null)
   {
       StreamWriter wText = new StreamWriter(myStream);
       string st = gettxt();
       wText.Write(st);
       //wText.WriteLine("sdfsderfsdsf");
       myStream.Close();
    }
}

whenever i uncomment Writeline and comment write(st) notthing is written..
and the string should be of specific length then only data is saved in the tkt file..
and last problem is that if text is too large then part of the text is only written..
please help me

There are very few ways to explain the problem, other than there’s a problem with the app that reads the file. Beware that you are writing a .txt file, it might not necessarily be compatible with a .tkt file format. Whatever that looks like. For one, the file will contain a BOM, 3 bytes at the start of the file that says it is a utf-8 formatted text file.

One thing you could try to diagnose the problem better:

   using (var wText = new StreamWriter(myStream, Encoding.Default)) {
       string st = gettxt();
       wText.Write(st);
       //wText.WriteLine("sdfsderfsdsf");
   }

The Encoding argument specifies that the characters should be written in the default code page and without a BOM.
