Use the StreamWriter class.

using System.IO;

StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(FullFilePathHere);
sw.WriteLine("I have written a line to the above specified file.");
sw.Close();

  public void AddContact()
  { 
    Console.WriteLine("Enter contact name");
    Name = Console.ReadLine();
    Console.WriteLine("Enter contact Address");
    Address = Console.ReadLine();
    Console.WriteLine("Enter contact Email");
    Email = Console.ReadLine();
    Console.WriteLine("Enter contact PhoneNo");
    PhoneNo = Console.ReadLine();

    StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("FilePathHere");
    sw.WriteLine(string.Format("{0},{1},{2},{3},"), Name, Address, Email, PhoneNo);
    sw.Close();
  }

Would create a CSV style storage of the details.
