Writing to a File

[MustangJoe]

Im new to the VB.NET Framework and language, and am still a little confused as how to write to a text file with just plain text. Ive figured out how to write a stream of bytes, and how to convert a string to an array of bytes, but I want to write to a file in just plain text. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are writing out just text then you may want to look at the StreamWriter class.

This is basically how I do it:

Writing:

Dim objFile As System.IO.File
Dim objTW As System.IO.StreamWriter

objTW = objFile.CreateText(strFileName)
objTW.WriteLine("Hello")
objTW.Close()

Ok, I got it to output text now, but for whatever reason my SQL data reader isnt working properly. Ive got 6 rows Im trying to insert into the text file, but it only writes one. More problems to figure out tomorrow I guess.
