What is the simplest way to write the contents of a StringBuilder to a text file in .NET 1.1?

I know this is an old post and that it wants an answer for .NET 1.1 but there's already a very good answer for that. I thought it would be good to have an answer for those people who land on this post that may have a more recent version of the .Net framework, such as myself when I went looking for an answer to the same question.

In those cases there is an even simpler way to write the contents of a StringBuilder to a text file. It can be done with one line of code. It may not be the most efficient but that wasn't really the question now was it.

System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@"C:\MyDir\MyNewTextFile.txt",sbMyStringBuilder.ToString());

You still have access to StreamWriter:

using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"\hereIam.txt"))
{
    file.WriteLine(sb.ToString()); // "sb" is the StringBuilder
}

From the MSDN documentation: Writing to a Text File (Visual C#).

For newer versions of the .NET Framework (Version 2.0. onwards), this can be achieved with one line using the File.WriteAllText method.

System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@"C:\TextFile.txt", stringBuilder.ToString());

No need for a StringBuilder:

string path = @"c:\hereIAm.txt";
if (!File.Exists(path)) 
{
    // Create a file to write to.
    using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path)) 
    {
        sw.WriteLine("Here");
        sw.WriteLine("I");
        sw.WriteLine("am.");
    }    
} 

But of course you can use the StringBuilder to create all lines and write them to the file at once.

sw.Write(stringBuilder.ToString());
