VB10 Trying to create file, save and retrieve information used by my application

In VB 6 all I had to do was

Open fileName for Random as 1 Len = recordLength

then Get records or Put them into the file.

In all their wisdom, Microsoft developers have decided this simple method of saving information was no longer needed I guess. I am trying to update my VB6 application using VB10 Express. Is there any way that I can do these (previously) simple tasks? Thank you.
