There are methods like WriteAllText in the File class for common operations on files   Use the MapPath method to get the physical path for a file in your web application   File WriteAllText Server MapPath    data txt    TextBox1 Text

Keep in mind you ll also have to give the IUSR account write access for the folder once you upload to your web server    Personally I recommend not allowing write access to the root folder unless you have a good reason for doing so  And then you need to be careful what sort of files you allow to be saved so you don t inadvertently allow someone to write their own ASPX pages
