Read about how to use a TextWriter.

You'll find that you can't do this with ASP.NET the way you want. Remember that everything with ASP.NET happens on the server, so when you create the text file, you will actually be creating it on the server, not the client machine. To do this properly, you could create the file on the server's machine, and then present it to the user for download.

Read this to learn how to use a StreamWriter to create a text file. I think that they are the easiest way to make text files. Just make sure that you close the stream when you are done.
