Not a question. What document?! If you want to save it, just do it; you got my approval. :-)

Are you trying to save the contents of a TextBox?? Can you give us an example of the code you are using to try and save the "document"?

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog dlg = new Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog();
dlg.FileName = textBox1.Text;

// Default file name
dlg.DefaultExt = ".text";

// Default file extension
dlg.Filter = "Text documents (.txt)|*.txt";
// Filter files by extension
// Show save file dialog box
// Nullable<bool> result = dlg.ShowDialog();
// Process save file dialog box results
// if (result == true)
// {
// Save document
string filename = dlg.FileName;
//write to a local disk
using (FileStream stream = File.Create(@"D:\" + textBox1.Text + ".txt"))

MessageBox.Show("document saved ");
textBox1.Text = "";
textBox2.Text = "";
textBox3.Text = "";
comboBox1.SelectedValue = "";
comboBox2.SelectedValue = "";

// }

}

Try this
In this example "textBox1.Text" is the data I want to save to the file.

C#

Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog dlg = new Microsoft.Win32.SaveFileDialog();
dlg.FileName = @"YourFileName.txt"; // Default file name (ex. TextBoxContents.txt)
dlg.DefaultExt = ".text"; // Default file extension
dlg.Filter = "Text documents (.txt)|*.txt"; // Filter files by extension

Nullable<bool> result = dlg.ShowDialog();

if (result == true)
{
    // Save document
    string fileName = dlg.FileName;

    using (System.IO.StreamWriter writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(fileName))
    {
        writer.Write(textBox1.Text);
        writer.Close();
    }
}

and of course you will want to modify this for your needs.
