I wanted to know how to send all the entered user information from the textboxes on my form to one text file.
I was thinking I need to say MessageBox.Show("each textbox), but I don't think that is right.
All of this is is login information plus other user data so when it goes in a text file it will be sort of a database.
Please let me know if anyone can help.
Thank you!
Jump to PostGet all the textBoxes into an array, and read them (using Text property) into a StringBuilder class. Then write all to a text file:
Textbox[]tbs = { textBox1, textBox2, textBox3 }; // add all of them in here StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); foreach(TextBox tb in tbs) …
Jump to PostSure you can do, but you cannot addd comboBox control to TextBox array. But you can add its text additionally, like:

Would I be able to add combo box information with this as well or is that something else?
