Hi Mamatha,

Here's some code posted elsewhere by VB MVP Paul Clement:

Private Sub PasteDataToNotepad()

' Minimize the current window, so that the new Notepad window
' will definitely have focus.
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized

' Start notepad.exe
Dim proc As Process = Process.Start("notepad.exe")

' Wait a short while for Notepad to fully launch.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(250)

' Copy the data from the multi-line textbox into the clipboard.
Clipboard.SetDataObject(Me.TextBox1.Text)

' Send a Ctrl-V to Notepad to paste the data from the clipboard into
the text editor.
SendKeys.Send("^v")

End Sub
 
Hi Cindy,

While it is an inventive solution from Paul, does it me very much think on
the movie the Deerhunter.

I think it is better to use a temp file in this situation.
