The answer to this is probably really simple and basic, however im having trouble when writing to a file as I am greeted with this error message.
"IO Exception was unhandled."
"The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\Steven\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\SmithsSocialCare\Login Information.txt' because it is being used by another process."
This is the code in question.
Cheers in advance, Steven.

Dim FileW As System.IO.StreamWriter
Dim Username As String
Dim Password As String
FileW = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter("C:\Users\Steven\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\SmithsSocialCare\Login Information.txt", True)
If TxtPass.Text = TxtPass2.Text Then
Username = TxtUser.Text
Password = TxtPass.Text
FileW.WriteLine(Username & " " & Password)
FileW.Close()
End If Cheers in advance, Steven.

I'm guessing you saw this example from the MSDN site, in my opinion it is not the best way to do it. Here is how I would approach using StreamWriter:
Dim path As String = "C:\Users\Steven\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\SmithsSocialCare\Login Information.txt"
Dim Username, Password As String
Dim writer As IO.StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(path)
If TxtPass.Text = TxtPass2.Text Then
Username = TxtUser.Txt
Password = TxtPass.Text
writer.WriteLine(Username & " " & Password)
writer.Flush()
writer.Close()
End If - 1useful

I think I know whats wrong
Mke sure Above Everything put
"Imports System.IO"
That should fix it.
and your other error is caused because your program is open already go through your processes and end it when you find it then you should be good to go. if you need any more help PM me

This is not the problem, as you can see in his code he doesn't import the System.IO namespace but instead uses the whole path when declaring the FileW variable by setting the type as System.IO.StreamWriter instead of importing the namespace and simply declaring it as StreamWriter

Ok I didn't see that I just read the error haha my bad, I think he should change it so he used Imports it helps so much in the long run
