Creating a text file

Question

hiee,

Normally v create a text file using textwriter i.e,
TextWriter txt = new StreamWriter("path");
but in my case i need 2 create a text file whose name comes from database.
for example: i need 2 create a file with its name as each individual's mobile number which is stored in database.something like 1234567898.txt in which this number is retrieved frm database.
i tried doing something lik,
DataRow dr = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0];
string number = dr[5].ToString();
string path = "C:/"+number+".txt";
TextWriter txt = new StreamWriter(path);

But the error message says this path structure is not supported..

Wat can b done to solve this problem..?

Thanks in advance,
Soumya

Hi, Use like that. public StreamWriter objWriter; FileStream outputfile = null ; string textPageName=ViewState[ "FolderPath" ].ToString()+ "/" ; string textPageName1 = textPageName + MoblieNumber + ".txt" ; if (! Directory .Exists(textPageName)) Directory .CreateDirectory(textPageName); outputfile = new FileStream (textPageName1, FileMode .Create, FileAccess .Write); objWriter = new StreamWriter (outputfile); objWriter.Close(); outputfile.Close(); Happy Coding!!
