[Help]Create program files folder when run[Solved]
Well this is VERY nooby, but I just started VB.
When the user runs the program I want a folder to be created in their program files, and a .txt inside that folder. I know how to do this, but how would I actually name the folder like "Test Program" and the .txt to actually contain text. How would I write text to the .txt when the programs runs?

Code:
Public Class Form1
Io.Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\Program Files\programname")
Using sWrite as new io.streamwriter("C:\Program Files\programname\filename.txt", append as boolean)
swrite.write(Text in filename.txt)
End Using
Io.Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\Program Files\programname") - Declaration expected at IODirectory.CreateDirectory("C:\Program Files\programname") -
Declaration Expected at sWrite as new io.streamwriter("C:\Program Files\programname\filename.txt", append as boolean)
Statement cannot appear out of method body: Using sWrite as new io.streamwriter("C:\Program
Instead of
use
Code:
Using sWrite as new io.streamwriter("C:\Program Files\programname\filename.txt", append as boolean)
swrite.write(Text in filename.txt)
End Using
Code:
IO.File.WriteAllText("C:\Program Files\programname\filename.txt", "Contents of filename.txt")

sWriter.Write(String.Join(ControlChars.CrLf, New String() {"Please read", "The fucking code", "before you copy it"}))
End Using
[/php]
And put the code in a method body for gawds sake.

Physcadelic, don't get all mad at me for voting against copy and pasting, there's no need to throw around negative rep just because you can't handle criticism.
