How to save a text file in Windows 8

Question

Here's how I usually save files

 using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(GetDocumentsPath()+"/"+filename))
 {
     writer.Write("foo");
 }

But yet again this code doesn't seem to be supported in Windows Phone/8. Does anyone know a way to do this?

Try this:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using System;
 using System.IO;
 using System.Text;
 
 public class TxtSaver : MonoBehaviour {
     
     String path;
     String fileName;
 
     
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () 
     {        
         fileName = "/MyTxT.txt";//File name
 
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () 
     {
         path = Application.dataPath + fileName;//Path
         using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path))
         {
             AddText(fs, "Text");//Text content         
         }
         
     }
       private static void AddText(FileStream fs, string value)
       {
         byte[] info = new UTF8Encoding(true).GetBytes(value);
         fs.Write(info, 0, info.Length);
       }
 }

This works well for Windows Phone, but gives me the error:

The type or namespace name 'FileStream' does not exist in the namespace 'System.IO' when I try to build for Windows 8 Store

I created a sample that enabled use of storage file, by using events and passing a stream back to the caller. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0thac2x5f36g2cp/IOTest.zip
