I have a program that has multiple text boxes, i need it to save the text that is put in the textbox automatically when the program is closed.. I couldnt find a solution anywhere! Hopefully i can find some help <3

What language is this program written in? Typically you'll get the value of the textbox and save it to a file when the program exit functions are called, so it saves, then exits.

We need to know what language the program is being written in before we can even begin to help you.

Might want to read through this then: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730869(v=vs.80).aspx
It's a nice way to go about it.
Edit: Looking over your code, can you show if you actually MADE the settings? And if so you would simply do something like this:
Code
Properties.Settings.Default.text1 = Textbox1.text; (Basically something like this)
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();text1 is what I simply assume you're calling your premade property, though it might have a different name.

What did you name the textbox?
Did you add a textbox?

In order to save the contents of the text box you have to have the textbox.
What is the name property of the textbox?

Yes but I'm not at home so I can't.
I think you need to take some more time reading before you start making projects.
Have a read here.

Which are the names of these text boxes?:
Hint:
Select Text box control on your design view form, press F4 and see the content of Name property.

You can use JSON, XML , or a normal text file to save data, but since your using visual studio you can use ApplicationSettingsBase.
something like this
Code
Properties.Settings.Default["SomeProperty"] = textBox.Text;
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();Use the Closing Event of your Form to save before the application Exits.
but i personally would save my data(models) with JSON since its literally 2 lines to Serialize and Deserialize my Data.
