Hi:First, I don't think I saw your file type, the ".txt" file type extension in the file path for your file if I remember and that would throw an exception. Below is the MSDN Doc stuff I pulled from the File Class Definition that I thought might help. The complete document can be found at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143356.aspx if you want to read up on the File Class. Here is the copied stuff for the CSharp version: Copy using System; using System.IO; using System.Text; class Test { public static void Main() { string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt" ; // RtNote, notice the .txt file extension in the above file path // Also, note the use of the @ sign as Jamal identified in a prior post. // This text is added only once to the file. if (!File.Exists(path)) { // Create a file to write to. string createText = "Hello and Welcome" + Environment.NewLine; File.WriteAllText(path, createText); } // This text is always added, making the file longer over time // if it is not deleted. string appendText = "This is extra text" + Environment.NewLine; File.AppendAllText(path, appendText); // Open the file to read from. string readText = File.ReadAllText(path); Console.WriteLine(readText); } }----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamal Mazrui" <empower@xxxxxxxxx>

In C#, you do not have to double the backslash characters if you precede the string literal with the @ symbol. Just put that symbol immediately before the initial quote mark.Jamal On 5/7/2010 11:32 PM, Celia Rodriguez wrote:Thank you, but I tried the \\ and it is still giving me the following errorError 1 Unexpected character '\' Error 1 Unexpected character '\' ----- Thankyou, Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tyler Littlefield Sent: Friday, May 07, 2010 9:18 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: C# Writing to a file Hello, you need to escape your \ by doing \\.
