on the msdn page for System.IO.File.WriteAllText it clearly states "Creates a new file, writes the specified string to the file, and then closes the file. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten." so basically your second call to that method is overwriting the contents written by the first one. try AppendAllText instead.

I use Stream classes to do all these operations...

StreamWriter sw = newStreamWriter(path);
sw.WriteLine(textBox1.Text);
sw.WriteLine(textBox2.Text);
sw.Close();
Good Luck
