I am trying to get the save/open dialog figured out. I am able open the save
dialog but when I put in a file name (whatever.txt) and save the file does
save with the name but it is blank. Below is what I have code so far.



Dim phonestreamwriter As StreamWriter
Dim responsedialogresults As DialogResult
SaveFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = Application.StartupPath
responsedialogresults = SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog
If responsedialogresults <> DialogResult.Cancel Then
phonestreamwriter = New StreamWriter(SaveFileDialog1.FileName)
End If
 
You open the StreamWriter which creates the file, but you also have to write
something to it. For example, if you added the following line after you
create the StreamWriter:

phonestreamwriter.WriteLine("Hello, world")
phonestreamwriter.Flush()
phonestreamwriter.Close()

the underlying file would have the content "Hello, world" inside the file.

You have to define what is supposed to go into the file. The save/open
dialog is only used to query the user for the file path.
 
If I have text in a rich text on a form how do I write that to the file

RichTextBox1.Text = SaveFileDialog1.FileName????
 
phonestreamwriter.WriteLine(RichTextBox1.Text)
