have a look at System.IO.FileStream and System.IO.StreamWriter as good starting points.

heres a quick example of using the IO.StreamWriter :

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim strText As String = "im some text thats going to be in your new .txt file" & Environment.NewLine & "and im multilined!"
        Dim sWriter As IO.StreamWriter = New IO.StreamWriter(New IO.FileStream("D:\a_test.txt", IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
        sWriter.Write(strText)
        sWriter.Close()
    End Sub
