VB.NET : Write Data Into A Text File

Write Data Into A Text File Using VB.NET


The example below shows how you can open a textfile ( .txt) and write the data by using VB.NET. Assuming the text file "contact.txt" stored in C:\ drive contains the following 3 lines (Name, Contact Number and Address)


----------------------contact.txt---------------------
Kimberly Wood
570-897-7676227
Main Avenue PO Box 987, Palmerton, PA 18071
------------------------------------------------------


The codes below show you how to write these data into a text file using VB.NET. You might need to include System.IO in your project reference section before you can execute the code.



'-----declare Variables

Dim Name, ContactNo, Address As String

Dim fs as New FileStream("C:\contact.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
Dim ws as New StreamReader(fs)

ws.WriteLine(Name) '--- Write Name into Line 1
ws.WriteLine(ContactNo) '--- Write Name into Line 2
ws.WriteLine(Address) '--- Write Name into Line 3

ws.Close()

Hence, the three lines of data from the text file have been written and stored in the text file.
