Public Sub SaveFile (data As Stream, fileType As RichTextBoxStreamType)

Parameters

data
Stream

The data stream that contains the file to save to.

fileType
RichTextBoxStreamType

One of the RichTextBoxStreamType values.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

An invalid file type is specified in the fileType parameter.

IOException

An error occurs in saving the contents of the control to a file.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates using the SaveFile and LoadFile methods with streams. It also demonstrates using the FileDialog.FileName, FileDialog.DefaultExt, SaveFileDialog.CreatePrompt, and SaveFileDialog.OverwritePrompt members.

This is a complete example that is ready to run when you copy it to your project.

Remarks

This version of the SaveFile method enables you to save the entire contents of the control to the data stream that is already opened. The data stream can then save the information to a file. You can use the LoadFile method to load the contents of a file into the RichTextBox.

This version of the SaveFile method also enables you to specify a data format of the information that will be sent to the Stream object.

SaveFile(String, RichTextBoxStreamType)

Source:
RichTextBox.cs
Source:
RichTextBox.cs
Source:
RichTextBox.cs

Saves the contents of the RichTextBox to a specific type of file.

public:
 void SaveFile(System::String ^ path, System::Windows::Forms::RichTextBoxStreamType fileType);
public void SaveFile (string path, System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBoxStreamType fileType);
member this.SaveFile : string * System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBoxStreamType -> unit
Public Sub SaveFile (path As String, fileType As RichTextBoxStreamType)

Parameters

path
String

The name and location of the file to save.

fileType
RichTextBoxStreamType

One of the RichTextBoxStreamType values.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

An invalid file type is specified in the fileType parameter.

IOException

An error occurs in saving the contents of the control to a file.

Examples

The following code example saves the contents of the RichTextBox into an ASCII text file. The example uses the SaveFileDialog class to display a dialog to request the path and file name from the user. The code then saves the contents of the control to that file. The example uses this version of the SaveFile method to specify that the file be saved as an ASCII text file instead of the standard rich text format. This example requires that the code is placed in a Form class that has a RichTextBox control named richTextBox1.

public:
   void SaveMyFile()
   {
      // Create a SaveFileDialog to request a path and file name to save to.
      SaveFileDialog^ saveFile1 = gcnew SaveFileDialog;
      
      // Initialize the SaveFileDialog to specify the RTF extension for the file.
      saveFile1->DefaultExt = "*.rtf";
      saveFile1->Filter = "RTF Files|*.rtf";
      
      // Determine if the user selected a file name from the saveFileDialog.
      if ( saveFile1->ShowDialog() == System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::OK &&
         saveFile1->FileName->Length > 0 )
      {
         // Save the contents of the RichTextBox into the file.
         richTextBox1->SaveFile( saveFile1->FileName, RichTextBoxStreamType::PlainText );
      }
   }

public void SaveMyFile()
{
   // Create a SaveFileDialog to request a path and file name to save to.
   SaveFileDialog saveFile1 = new SaveFileDialog();

   // Initialize the SaveFileDialog to specify the RTF extension for the file.
   saveFile1.DefaultExt = "*.rtf";
   saveFile1.Filter = "RTF Files|*.rtf";

   // Determine if the user selected a file name from the saveFileDialog.
   if(saveFile1.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK &&
      saveFile1.FileName.Length > 0) 
   {
      // Save the contents of the RichTextBox into the file.
      richTextBox1.SaveFile(saveFile1.FileName, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);
   }
}

Public Sub SaveMyFile()
    ' Create a SaveFileDialog to request a path and file name to save to.
    Dim saveFile1 As New SaveFileDialog()
    
    ' Initialize the SaveFileDialog to specify the RTF extension for the file.
    saveFile1.DefaultExt = "*.rtf"
    saveFile1.Filter = "RTF Files|*.rtf"
    
    ' Determine if the user selected a file name from the saveFileDialog.
    If (saveFile1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) _
        And (saveFile1.FileName.Length) > 0 Then
    
        ' Save the contents of the RichTextBox into the file.
        richTextBox1.SaveFile(saveFile1.FileName, _
            RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

The SaveFile method enables you to save the entire contents of the control to an RTF file that can be used by other programs such as Microsoft Word and Windows WordPad. If the file name that is passed to the path parameter already exists at the specified directory, the file will be overwritten without notice. You can use the LoadFile method to load the contents of a file into the RichTextBox.

This version of the SaveFile method enables you to specify a file type to save the contents of the control to. You can use this feature to ensure that the file is saved in the proper format based on the contents of the control. For example, if your document has no differences in font style or coloring, you can save the file as an ASCII text file by setting the fileType parameter to RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText.

member this.SaveFile : string -> unit
Public Sub SaveFile (path As String)

Parameters

path
String

The name and location of the file to save.

Exceptions

An error occurs in saving the contents of the control to a file.

Examples

The following code example saves the contents of a RichTextBox control to an RTF file. The example uses the SaveFileDialog class to display a dialog to request from the user, the path and filename of the file to save. The code then saves the file assuming the content is in rich text format. If the file already exists, it is automatically overwritten. This example requires that the code is placed in a Form class that has a RichTextBox control named richTextBox1.

    ' Initialize the SaveFileDialog to specify the RTF extention for the file.
    saveFile1.DefaultExt = "*.rtf"
    saveFile1.Filter = "RTF Files|*.rtf"
    
    ' Determine whether the user selected a file name from the saveFileDialog.
    If (saveFile1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) _

        ' Save the contents of the RichTextBox into the file.
        richTextBox1.SaveFile(saveFile1.FileName)
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

The SaveFile method enables you to save the entire contents of the control to an RTF file that can be used by other programs such as Microsoft Word and Windows WordPad. If the file name that is passed to the path parameter already exists at the specified directory, the file will be overwritten without notice. You can use the LoadFile method to load the contents of a file into the RichTextBox.

Note

To save the contents of the control to a different type of file format such as ASCII text, use the other versions of this method that accept a value from the RichTextBoxStreamType enumeration as a parameter.
