I'm using the SaveFileDialog class example
to combine use create a text file in a user defined directory.
Here's the conflicting part of my code:
private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {
array<Image^> ^imageArray ;
int CurrentImage=0;
imageArray = gcnew array<Image^>(9);
array<String^>^ names = {L"adc1.bmp" ,"adc2.bmp","adc3.bmp","adc4.bmp","adc5.bmp","adc6.bmp","adc7.bmp","adc8.bmp"};
for(int i=0; i<8; i++)
{
System::ComponentModel::ComponentResourceManager^ resources = (gcnew System::ComponentModel::ComponentResourceManager(Form1::typeid));
imageArray[i] =(cli::safe_cast<System::Drawing::Bitmap^>(resources->GetObject(names[i])));
}
if((this->comboBox4->Text == String::Empty)||(this->textBox2->Text == String::Empty)){
this->textBox1->Text="please select port and save file directory";
}
else{ // start assigning
try{ // first make sure port isn't busy/open
if(!this->serialPort1->IsOpen){
// select the port whose name is in comboBox4 (select port)
this->serialPort1->PortName=this->comboBox4->Text;
//open the port
this->serialPort1->Open();
// sending
String^ name_ = this->serialPort1->PortName;
String^ START;
int m=0;
//send data to setup timer on the microcontroller
this->serialPort1->WriteLine(START);
Stream^ myStream;
SaveFileDialog^ saveFileDialog1 = gcnew SaveFileDialog;
saveFileDialog1->Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*";
saveFileDialog1->FilterIndex = 2;
saveFileDialog1->RestoreDirectory = true;
if ( saveFileDialog1->ShowDialog() == System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::OK )
{
if ( (myStream = saveFileDialog1->OpenFile()) != nullptr )
{
// receiving
myStream<<"ADC1;ADC2;ADC3;ADC4;ADC5;ADC6;ADC7;ADC8"<<endl;
while(START){
myStream<<this->serialPort1->ReadLine()<<";";
pictureBox1->image=imagearray[m];
m++;
if(m==7){
myStream<<endl;
m=0;
}
}
}}}
else{
this->textBox1->Text="Warning: port is busy or isn't open";
}
}
catch(UnauthorizedAccessException^){
this->textBox1->Text="Unauthorized access";
}
}
}
However, I'm getting the following errors:

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
The error starts at line: myStream<<"ADC1;ADC2;ADC3;ADC4;ADC5;ADC6;ADC7;ADC8"<<endl;
I used ofstream before and it worked. However, I would like the user to select the directory and name the output file and I'm not sure if that would be possible using ofstream. I would really appreciate it, if someone could help me solve at the least the error related to myStream.
Thanks in advance
