namespace ExamplesApp

public partial class MainForm : Form

public MainForm()

private void saveButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

//Declare variables

string name, address, weight;

//Load variables

//Save information to a text file, each individual segment of information

//is separated by comma's used as delimiter's for later splitting on load.

FileStream fsInput = new FileStream("info.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);

StreamWriter swInput = new StreamWriter(fsInput);

swInput.WriteLine("{0},{1},{2}", name, address, weight);

private void loadButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

//Declare variables

string name, address, weight;

//Open file containing info

FileStream fsInput = new FileStream("info.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

StreamReader swReader = new StreamReader(fsInput);

//Read data from file, then split it up into individual variables

string nextLine = swReader.ReadLine();

string[] inputData = nextLine.Split(Convert.ToChar(","));

//Finally, put variables to boxes

nameBox.Text = Convert.ToString(name);

addressBox.Text = Convert.ToString(address);

weightBox.Text = Convert.ToString(weight);

What's a save game?  Do you mean how do you persist the information inside your RPG game so that you can reload it later?

You could save your RPG data in an XML file.  In this case, you can use the XMLDocument class do to all of your persistence.  Use the Load Method to load the data and the Save method to save the data.
