Just use this

C#

if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
  System.IO.File.WriteAllText(saveFileDialog1.FileName,youtTextBox.Text);
}

wOw so easy. but it is giving one error that the file cannot be access. it creates the file but there is nothing written in it.

and also save dialog appears two times. means first time i give name to file, click on save then save dialog again appears and having detail file name eg C:\Users\Asma\Desktop\filename and i again click on save then error comes.

oops sorry, remove the first line.

ok now dialog appears one time but same error comes :( that file cannot be access because another process using it

Try to mention some new file. I think your previous code could have the handle of that old file. WriteAllText takes care of open-write-close by itself.

lOl i got my mistake. i have to first close the save then write text to file like this
save.Close();
File.WriteAllText(saveFileDialog1.FileName, richTextBox1.Text);
