Send contents of text box to notepad document VB.NET

Question

I am creating a program that when my runners enter their time into a text box it will immediately export it to a file on their desktop(pre created) called times.txt. Each time they enter a time I want the time they entered to be added on a new line in the notepad file.

Here is the code I have so far:

Public Class Form2
  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,
                            ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

  End Sub
End Class

Can anyone give me the code I need for this?

Answer 1

You can use IO.File.AppendAllLines, like this:

 Dim desktopPath As String =
   Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop)
 Dim fileName As String = "times.txt"
 Dim fullPath As String = IO.Path.Combine(desktopPath, fileName)
 IO.File.AppendAllLines(fullPath, {"Some new line in the file"})
