How do I create a program that creates a file in C#?

Dec 12th, 2008

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem of creating a program that provides a functionality of creating its own file, saving its own file, and reopening its own file just like the functionality of the other windows application like MSWord, MSExcel, etc.,

Please everyone, I really need to know about it... I know that programming languages have this kind of capabilities but I don't know where to find it, please everyone...

It may not be very efficient, but this creates an output file with the one string in it:

FileStream fs = File.Create(@"C:\MyFiles\Test.txt"); will create a file Test.txt in the directory MyFiles on the C-drive.

Following C# program can create the text file on d drive. You can change the path of file to be created.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
using System;
using System.IO;

class CreateNewFile
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{

TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("d:\\NewFile.txt");

tw.WriteLine("This is new file i have created");
tw.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);

tw.Close();
}
}
