Hey.
I would like to save a txt file from the listbox into a folder that the user chooses.
I've got the writing to work, but so far it only saves the file to the debug folder (since I haven't specified another folder)
This is what I have so far:
private void saveListToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.folderBrowserDialog1.ShowNewFolderButton = true;
this.folderBrowserDialog1.RootFolder = System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop;
DialogResult dr = this.folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog();
if (dr == DialogResult.OK)
{
string foldername=this.folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath;
StreamWriter sw = null;
try
{
sw = File.CreateText("test.txt");
sw.WriteLine("Saved on: " + DateTime.Now);
sw.WriteLine("");
foreach (object item in listBox1.Items)
{
sw.WriteLine(item.ToString());
}
}
catch (IOException k)
{
MessageBox.Show(k.ToString());
}
catch (Exception s)
{
MessageBox.Show(s.ToString());
}
finally
{
if (sw != null)
{
sw.Close();
}
}
}
}
so where do i put the foldername to make it save to that folder?
I know you can use saveFileDialog, but can't it be done this way too?
Thanks.
