How do you create temporary files in Visual Basic?

Question

I want to create an IM program. How do you create temporary files?

Answer 1

the same way you create any file in VB
just remember to delete them when the program closes

Answer 2

you use a combination of gettempfile and gettemppath which are win32 api calls. just remember to delete the files afterward.

this method will be quite slow as its dependent on the disk i/o, maybe u should just use memory streams instead.. mm does vb support those - i wonder, maybe why vb is such a crappy language with which to write an im with.
