View 3 RepliesVB beginner here. Just wondering about what code to use when using save file dialog for the user to select a directory to save information made on a program. My open file dialog code works fine but i have tried some save file dialog ideas i found online to no avail.In this case, i just want text that is written in text boxes in my program to be saved to something as simple as .txt's.

I can save one textbox

Dim Write As System.IO.StreamWriter
Write = File.CreateText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName)
Write.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text)
Write.Close()

View 14 RepliesI have a button on my form and when clicked I want to show the save dialog box but I want to have a filter so the file saved can only be .txt also I want to change the default location of the save as dialog, is this possible?
So far I have the following
Dim filesaveas As New SaveFileDialog
filesaveas.Filter = "Text Files|*.txt"
filesaveas.Filter = "C:\Test\"
I would like to modify SaveFileDialog to instead save a new directory (which will contain new files automatically generated for the user based on the name of the directory). I can produce the necessary code to carry out the intended functionality, but I want the dialog to prompt for a 'folder name' instead of 'file name' and to not display 'save as type'. Is this possible? Is there a better solution for a create new folder/directory dialog? I know about folderbrowsedialog, but I need to force the user to name a new directory and identify the location

Also is loading XML files through the loaddialog box basically the same way as XElement.Load("Name.xml")?
