oviously I want something like.

Name: John
Mobile: 432432565464
Homephone: 87998979969
Etc

Can I only have 1 item (argument) per Writeline or is there another way of doing it?

Hey guys,

Latest minor problem....at least this one is minor.

I have this code.

using (StreamWriter gentxt = new StreamWriter(saveFileDialog1.FileName))
{
for (int i = 0; i < contactlist.Count; i++)
{
gentxt.WriteLine(("Name:"),contactlist.Name);
gentxt.WriteLine("Mobile:",contactlist.Mobile);
gentxt.WriteLine(contactlist.Homephone);
}

That code generates this as a text document.

Name:
Mobile:

Only the first argument is for strings. Use something like:

gentxt.WriteLine("Name:" + contactlist.Name);

WriteLine(String, Object, Object)Writes the text representation of the specified objects, followed by the current line terminator, to the standard output stream using the specified format information.
