Can someone please do a simple conversion from PHP for me?

It just writes to and saves a file.

<code>
<?php

$filename = $HTTP_POST_VARS["filename"];
$content = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS["content"]);

// In our example we're opening $filename in write mode.
// The file pointer is at the begining of the file
if (!$fp = fopen($filename, 'w+')) {
        echo("flag=file is readonly");
        exit;
}
// Write $content to our opened file.
if (!fwrite($fp, $content)) {
       echo("flag=Cannot write to file".($filename));
       exit;
}
echo("flag=File is saved");

fclose($fp);

?>
</code>

Thanks in advance,

You can use something like this

Dim myfile As IO.StreamWriter = IO.File.CreateText("c:\test.txt")
        myfile.Write("Hello World!!!")
        myfile.Close()

This example will create a file and will write Hello world in that file.

For more info, check the MSDN about the System.IO namespace

It's pretty bad idea to trust a post variable for a filename, but I'll let that go for the sake of the example.

Also, it might be worth noting that stripslashes is not a good function to use in PHP, especially if magic quotes are off.

// filename for the file (should ensure that it's only writing to
//    where you want it to write the file too...
string strFilename = txtFilename.Text;
// text for the file
string strContent = txtContent.Text;

// used to write the new file
System.IO.StreamWriter swFile = null;

// catch any errors
try
{
    // overwrite the existing file
    swFile = new System.IO.StreamWriter(strFilename, false);

    // write the data to the file
    swFile.Write(strContent);
}
catch ( Exception ex )
{
    // do stuff with the exception--you may also want to check
    //   the IOException object
}
finally
{
    // close the file if it was succesfully opened
    if ( swFile != null )
    {
        swFile.Close();
    }
}

I just noticed his reply was in VB.NET, so if you want that, then here:

  

' filename for the file (should ensure that it's only writing to
'    where you want it to write the file too...
Dim strFilename As String = txtFilename.Text
' text for the file
Dim strContent As String = txtContent.Text

' used to write the new file
Dim swFile As System.IO.StreamWriter = Nothing

' catch any errors
Try

    ' overwrite the existing file
    swFile = new System.IO.StreamWriter(strFilename, false);

    ' write the data to the file
    swFile.Write(strContent)

Catch ex As Exception

    ' do stuff with the exception--you may also want to check
    '   the IOException object

Finally

    ' close the file if it was succesfully opened
    If ( Not swFile Is Nothing )

        swFile.Close()

    End If

End Try
