How can you store text data on a computer from visual basic

Question

I'm working on a game with some friends of mine, and I was thinking about something similar to a save file. I want to have visual basic store a text file in a place the user can select containing the values for several variables, then have the program open the file again at a later date to load the data. is there any way that this would be possible?

Here is another one.....VB2008or VB2008Express

Add a textbox, button and a SaveFileDialog...

Cut and paste this into the code pane:

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim filename As String

Try

With SaveFileDialog1

.AddExtension = True

.CheckPathExists = True

.CreatePrompt = False

.OverwritePrompt = True

.ValidateNames = True

.ShowHelp = True

.DefaultExt = "txt"

.FileName = filename

.Filter = _

"Text files (*.txt)|*.txt|" & "All files|*.*"

.FilterIndex = 1

If .ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(.F... TextBox1.Text, False)

End If

End With

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, Me.Text)

End Try

End Sub

End Class
