Write static name text file at a dynamic location

Yuvraj Jambhle

Hello Friends,

I have written data in a text file at a fixed location. But I want to know how to define dynamic location. The filename should be declared in the textbox earlier. Filename defines in form using a text field. Same thing I had written in the below code.

I want to know only how to define a dynamic location, don't want a static location.

private static StreamWriter WriteData;

WriteData = new StreamWriter(@"C:\Users\user\Desktop\ReportTmplate\" + txtTemplateName.Text+ ".txt"); WriteData.WriteLine(txtHeaderName.Text );
WriteData.WriteLine(txtEquipmentName.Text);

Hey,
You can put your dynamic path into you app.config/ web.config file and can use that path into your code using configuration manager.

Add this in your config file in between:

C# Code:
you need to use: using System.Configuration;

string DynamicPath = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Path"];

WriteData = new StreamWriter(DynamicPath + txtTemplateName.Text+ ".txt");
WriteData.WriteLine(txtHeaderName.Text );
WriteData.WriteLine(txtEquipmentName.Text);

Please try this (I'm assuming that you have a text box named locationTextBox, whereinn user will provide file path):
WriteData = new StreamWriter(locationTextBox.Text);
