RichTextBox conversion in .txt loses carriage return

Question

Hello everyone,
I'm working on an application that creates a .txt file with the text contained inside of a RichTextBox and when I generate the file and open it, all the carriage returns have been lost...
The way I use to make it into a .txt file is :
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@"C:\Users\Public\WriteText.txt", richTextBox1.Text);
I also tried with the Multiline property to be enabled in the code, but nothing works.
Thanks, Tripesdeporc

I guess this is winforms ?
Is there a particular reason you've chosen to save the file as .txt rather than .rtf?
SaveFileDialog saveFile1 = new SaveFileDialog();
// Initialize the SaveFileDialog to specify the RTF extension for the file.
saveFile1.DefaultExt = "*.rtf";
saveFile1.Filter = "RTF Files|*.rtf";
// Determine if the user selected a file name from the saveFileDialog.
if(saveFile1.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK &&
saveFile1.FileName.Length > 0)
// Save the contents of the RichTextBox into the file.
richTextBox1.SaveFile(saveFile1.FileName, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);

Please ask further questions in the forum specific to the technology you are using - eg windows forms or wpf.... or whatever.
This is in your interest because you will get better support - and less people pointing out you didn't mention what sort of technology you're working with ;^)
Hope that helps.
