save/open

I am trying to get the save/open dialog figured out. I am able open the save
dialog but when I put in a file name (whatever.txt) and save the file does
save with the name but it is blank. Below is what I have code so far.

Dim phonestreamwrit er As StreamWriter
Dim responsedialogr esults As DialogResult
SaveFileDialog1 .InitialDirecto ry = Application.Sta rtupPath
responsedialogr esults = SaveFileDialog1 .ShowDialog
If responsedialogr esults <> DialogResult.Ca ncel Then
phonestreamwrit er = New StreamWriter(Sa veFileDialog1.F ileName)
End If

You open the StreamWriter which creates the file, but you also have to write
something to it. For example, if you added the following line after you
create the StreamWriter:

phonestreamwrit er.WriteLine("H ello, world")
phonestreamwrit er.Flush()
phonestreamwrit er.Close()

the underlying file would have the content "Hello, world" inside the file.

You have to define what is supposed to go into the file. The save/open
dialog is only used to query the user for the file path.

Hello, I have a requirement wherein, a user clicks on a file name in an ASP.NET web application, and the file should automatically be downloaded (Without showing the "Open", "Save As") in the local machine at a pre defined path (path defined in the registry), and launch the file in its associated application. I think this can be done through ActiveX Controls, but i dont know how to create ActiveX controls in .NET??
