Okay I have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to solve what the posts i've read say is a simple fix.

I want to write to a file in my documents and here is my code.

```
        string st = @"C:\Users\<NAME>\Documents\Sample1.txt";

        System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(st);
        file.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(Sample1[0]));
        file.Close();

```

Where is the user name. I am getting the following error

**"A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.ni.dll. An exception of type 'System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.ni.dll but was not handled in user code"**

I am using Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone Development.

If anyone can point out what i am doing wrong i would be grateful.

Thanks.
