Equivalent of "Open fileName For Output As #1" VB6 to .NET

Another migration question,

I have another chunk of VB6 code that seems to need some workaround for .NET. For a shortened version, this is all it is doing:

Open sFileName For Output As #1
Print #1,
Print #1, "Facility:" & vbTab & Replace(Frame1.Caption, ",", " ")
Print #1, 
Print #1, "Address:" & vbTab & Replace(Me.lblAddr1.Caption, ",", " ")
Print #1, "City/State:" & vbTab & Replace(Me.lblAddr2.Caption, ",", " ")

And so on, and so forth. You can see it keeps repeating itself to create new lines. The question is, is how do I implement the same thing in .NET? Thanks for all the help guys.
