Add a declaration for the file name and for a date value:

Dim lcFileName As String = ""
Dim ldDate As Date = Date.Now

Populate the value:

lcFileName = Lc_mod + "_" + Trim(.textbox1.text) + "_" + ldDate.Day.ToString.PadLeft(2 , "0") + _
 ldDate.Month.ToString.PadLeft(2 , "0") + "_" + ldDate.Year.ToString + ".xml"

Save the file:

result.Save(lcFileName)
