Create a new txt file using VB.NET

How do I crea开发者_开发知识库te an empty .txt file in the location C:\my files\2010 using VB.NET?

---

Here is a single line that will create (or overwrite) the file:

File.Create("C:\my files\2010\SomeFileName.txt").Dispose()

Note: calling Dispose() ensures that the reference to the file is closed.

---

You also might want to check if the file already exists to avoid replacing the file by accident (unless that is the idea of course:

Dim filepath as String = "C:\my files\2010\SomeFileName.txt"
If Not System.IO.File.Exists(filepath) Then
   System.IO.File.Create(filepath).Dispose()
End If

You can try writing into the Documents folder. Here is a "debug" function I did for the debugging needs of my project:

Private Sub writeDebug(ByVal x As String)
    Dim path As String = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments)
    Dim FILE_NAME As String = path & "\mydebug.txt"
    MsgBox(FILE_NAME)
    If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = False Then
        System.IO.File.Create(FILE_NAME).Dispose()
    End If
    Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(FILE_NAME, True)
    objWriter.WriteLine(x)
    objWriter.Close()
End Sub

There are more standard folders you can access through the "SpecialFolder" object.

You could just use this

FileOpen(1, "C:\my files\2010\SomeFileName.txt", OpenMode.Output)
FileClose(1)

This opens the file replaces whatever is in it and closes the file.

open C:\myfile.txt for append as #1
write #1, text1.text, text2.text
close()

This is the code I use in Visual Basic 6.0. It helps me to create a txt file on my drive, write two pieces of data into it, and then close the file... Give it a try...
