Continue: rtbBody <-- your rich text box // proceed only if the user clicked ok if (this.saveFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { // check to see if the file specified by the user exists if (File.Exists(this.saveFileDialog.FileName)) { // returns a stream writer object ready for appending text StreamWriter sw = File.AppendText(this.saveFileDialog.InitialDirectory + this.saveFileDialog.FileName); // write to the stream sw.Write(rtbBody.Text); // empty out the stream to the file sw.Flush // close the stream sw.Close(); } else { // same as above but is creating the file instead StreamWriter sw = File.Create(this.saveFileDialog.InitialDirectory + this.saveFileDialog.FileName); sw.Write(rtbBody.Text); sw.Flush sw.Close(); } Hope this helps!!
