Answer 1

With this you can write blank text or any text.

Try this:

Place a TextBox and a Button on the form.

Set the Textbox Multiline = True.

In This line .F... should read .FileName

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

Cut and Paste and place in 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(.Fil... TextBox1.Text, False)

                End If

            End With

        Catch ex As Exception

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

        End Try

    End Sub

End Class
