Create a new txt file using VB.NET

Question

How do I create an empty .txt file in the location C:\my files\2010 using VB.NET?

Answer 1

Here is a single line that will create (or overwrite) the file:

File.Create("C:\my files\2010\SomeFileName.txt").Dispose() 

Note: calling Dispose() ensures that the reference to the file is closed.
