how can i save a listbox's items as text wherever i want to.

I can do this

VB

Dim ItemArray(Me.ListBox1.Items.Count - 1) As Object
      Me.ListBox1.Items.CopyTo(ItemArray, 0)
      Dim Data As String = Join(ItemArray, Environment.NewLine)

      My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:\Users\Juljan\Desktop\text.txt", Data, False)

but if i dont want to save it there i have to build the program again with different code..

Are you serious about re-building the program? There are no situations where a hard-coded path name can be useful — at all. (I would advice you not to use any immediate constants, except a very special ones line null, 0 or 1; not even "", because you should use string.Empty instead.)

In your case, you can use FileSaveDialog. I don't give you exact fully qualified type name and MSDN reference just because you did not tag the UI library you want to use, so please Google for the one you would use with your library.

Good luck,
