If you want to save a file in a desktop app use the System.IO namespace. There are File and FileInfo classes that handle saving files, as well as StreamWriter and so on.

The HttpResponse[^] class is used for accessing the HttpResponse within a web application, which is not included in a desktop or console application. They have their own methods.

In a Console application; you would use the Console.Write[^] method.

In a desktop application; you would populate text boxes or labels with the values that you want to display.
