1.how to save text in text boxes?
A1) how exactly do you mean? you wish to save the text from textboxes to a file or do you mean read a file and set the content to the textbox?
If you want to save from textbox to file

Dim theStreamWriter as new StreamWriter(filename)
theStreamWriter.Write(Me.theTextBox.Text)
theStreamWriter.Close()

 
2.how to save text text box, combo box ?
Same method as above except for a combo box you have to loop through each item and write to file:
 

Dim theStreamWriter as new StreamWriter(filename)
 
for each curItem as string in Me.theComboBox.Items
 
 theStreamWriter.WriteLine(curItem)
 
next
 
theStreamWriter.Close()

 
Now looking at this code:
 

if i want to save Rich Text Box i use following code

// Create an SaveFileDialog object:

SaveFileDialog saveFile1 = new SaveFileDialog();

// Initialize the SaveFileDialog to look for text files:

saveFile1.Filter = "Text Files|*.txt";

// Check if the user selected a file from the SaveFileDialog:

if(saveFile1.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)

// Load the contents of the file into a RichTextBox control:

richTextBox1.LoadFile(saveFile1.FileName,

RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);

 
 
 
 
 
You are not saving anything but loading....
 
If you want to save the text from the RichTextBox:
 
 

 
if saveFile.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
 Me.theRichTextBox.SaveFile(saveFile.FileName)
end if

 
does this help?

General purpose hint:

If there is a ';' at the end of the lines, you are looking at

a 'C' example, not a visual basic example.

1. Save Text in Textboxes (save text in a textbox to a file)

My.Computer.Filesystem.WriteAllText( "foo.txt", Textbox1.text, False)

2. Save All Items In a Combobox Items to a file.

Dim STotal as string = ""
For Each s as string in Combobox1.Items
STotal = STotal & s & vbCRLF
Next
My.Computer.Filesystem.WriteAllText( "foo.txt", STotal, False)

3. Select all the currently selected text from Textboxes and Comboboxes in a panel to a file

Dim s As String
For Each c As Control In Me.Panel1.Controls
If TypeOf (c) Is TextBox Or TypeOf (c) Is ComboBox Then
s = s & c.Text & vbCr
End If
Next
My.Computer.Filesystem.WriteAllText( "foo.txt", s, False)
