The System.IO.File Class

The System.IO.File class provides access to files on disk exposing special shared members. For example, you can easily create a text file invoking two methods: WriteAllText and WriteAllLines.

The following code provides an example:

File.WriteAllText("C:\Temp\OneFile.txt", "Test message")Dim lines() As String = {"First", "Second", "Third"}File.WriteAllLines("C:\Temp\OneFile.txt", lines)
