Textwriter

[Choseal]

As some of you might already know from my previous topic, I am trying to write the text in a combobox to a text file.

After some help, I finally got a code that compiled. The problem is, now it's álways telling me the file is in use. So I was wondering if anyone could take a look at my code, because I'm using the 'using' statement, and cant find any other open stream. Maybe there's something I'm missing:

                 string bank = lFileName.Text.ToString() + ".txt";
                 string banknr = lFileName.Text.ToString() + "nr.txt";
                 string bankvar = lFileName.Text.ToString() + "VAR.txt";

                 using (System.IO.TextWriter wr = System.IO.File.CreateText(bank))
                 {
                     File.WriteAllText(bank, cbBanken.Items.ToString());
                 }
                 
                 using (System.IO.TextWriter wr = System.IO.File.CreateText(banknr))
                 {
                     File.WriteAllText(banknr, cbBanken.Items.ToString());
                 }
                 using (System.IO.TextWriter wr = System.IO.File.CreateText(bankvar))
                 {
                     File.WriteAllText(bankvar, cbBanken.Items.ToString());
                 }

It's kind of a weird case, because after I get the "The file is already open" -error, I can still save to that file, I just cant write anything.

I tried a couple of things already, the closest I ever got is that it emptied out my file. :P

Thanks in advance.

                 using (System.IO.TextWriter wr = System.IO.File.CreateText(bank))
                 {
                     File.WriteAllText(bank, cbBanken.Items.ToString());
                 }

You create a TextWriter object, but you don't use it.

When you use the File.WriteAllText method, the TextWriter isn't even necessary. Just use

                     File.WriteAllText(bank, cbBanken.Items.ToString());

I managed to fix it, but turns out you cant edit a combobox and thén save the content. It will just revert back to the original Combobox content.
