Save a textfile as current time and date

So I am using VB.NET and I got this problem where I wanna save something (this works) but the one thing I can't get to work is that is automatically saves (title) as current time and date (like this as title: 06/04/2015 10h30min25s) I am using the SaveFileDialog to save my text.

Rather than using the file path as returned by the dialog, you can simply build the path yourself using the current date and time. For instance:

Dim filePath As String = Date.Now.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy HH\hmm\minss\s")

Change your slashes to dashes. You can't have slashes in a file name.
