Writing to a txt file in resource folder in Visual Studio 2019

March 15, 2022

I have an issue with trying to write to a txt file within my resource folder, I am new to C# and to Visual Studio so I am fairly lost and would appreciate any help. The issue is simply that nothing is written to the txt file.

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        int b = numericUpDown1.GetHashCode();
        int c = numericUpDown2.GetHashCode();
        int d = numericUpDown3.GetHashCode();

        try
        {
            StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("orders.txt");
            sw.WriteLine("Burger(s) " + b);
            sw.WriteLine("Chip(s): " + c);
            sw.WriteLine("Drink(s) " + d);
            sw.Close();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + ex.Message);
        }
    }

>Solution :

You can use this method:

class WriteAllLines
{
  public static async Task ExampleAsync()
{
    string[] lines =
    {
        "First line", "Second line", "Third line" 
    };

    await File.WriteAllLinesAsync("WriteLines.txt", lines);
}

}
