Or strings. Or meta information.

...I know how to concatenate strings! the problem is how I then refer to that "variable" when creating the .csv

So you don't know how to use a variable instead of a literal string. Here's an example: This is some code with a literal string:
Console.WriteLine("Hello world!");You can put the string in a variable and use that variable in place of the literal string:string message; message = "Hello world!"; Console.WriteLine(message);This is very basic in programming, and what you are trying to do is on a much higher level. You should start with the basics before moving on to more complex things.--- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

...and what "good" did sarcasm brought to the whole afair!? ... I see your point Dave... " but when it came to giving a string representing a filename, you suddenly forgot how to do string concantenation! " It wasn't that I forgot,I just didn't know that it could be done like that...as you all might have gueesed by now I am new with this. Anyway, thanks to PIEBALconsul and David for the help

That's why I'm saying that you should start with the basics. If you only can use something in a way that you've seen it used before, you have only learned to mimic others, you haven't really learned how it works.

...In case it is not clear... int day = date.Day; int month= date.Month; int year= date.Year; string str="hi"; int res="123"; string fileName = day + month + year + "_" + str + "_" + res However, if I do : File.Create("c:\\code\\fileName.txt"), it creates a file with the name "fileName"...rather than the value of fileName ...any ideas?
You need to buy a book on C# and read it. It's pretty basic stuff that anything in quotes, is a verbatim string. Your variable name becomes a variable name only when it's not in quotes. @"c:\code\" + filename + ".txt";
