Solution 1

You may specifier whatever extension you like, in the file creation call. No one would stop you writing textual data inside a, for instance, .bin file.

Solution 2

Try:

VB

File.WriteAllText("D:\Temp\MyFile.XZY", "This is some text...")

I am think of using the 'appendtext' for string builder. How can you use it in your code above

You mean:
File.WriteAllText("D:\Temp\MyFile.XZY", myStringBuilder.ToString())
