SaveFileDialog

[John]

In my VB .Net WinForm app, SaveFileDialog gives me an error msg
"C:\MyFile. txt already exists. Do you want to replace it?"

What I need to do is to append something to an existing file, so I want to
avoid this warning msg. I included "SaveFileDialog .CheckFileExist s = False"
in my code, but the warning msg keeps showing up.

Please help, thanks.

Don't use the save file dialog & use stream writer

Dim sw As New IO.StreamWriter (C:\SomeFile.tx t", True)

sw.WriteLine("Y ou Text Here")

sw.Flush()

sw.Cloase()

I am not able to repro this behavior with .NET 1.1, Windows XP Professional
SP2 with a SaveFileDialog placed on a form.

Set the OverwritePrompt property to false.

Sorry, I had a bug in my code which leaded to wrong results. The
'OverwritePromp t' property of 'SaveFileDialog ' is set to 'True' by default.
By changing its value 'False' prior to showing the dialog the messagebox is
not shown.
