I decided on a comma separated data file, saved as a text file. This is for data that will not change. After loading the data from the text file; then throughout the lifetime of the program the data can change. The data can then be saved back to a different binary file. The idea is to have a save state system going.Does anyone have a suggestion or is opposed to the idea. Is there a simpler way to organize something like this?
I am creating a simple button based rpg and was wondering if someone could help me with 3 things how to hold information within the game until the player save's the game, Saving the game, and Loading the game.I want the saved games to be saved onto a encryted file like .db or .dat file..
I am a freshman by using vb and I had search several website to learn the method to display the previous saved data in a label but none of it is related to my problem.
I 'm trying to develop a database whereby all information input via vb 2008 will be saved into a microsoft access database. I've tried to populate a few information. The data was saved at that point, but when i reopen my system the next day, all the rows are gone. [code]
I have created an Excel AddIn that has a custom ribbon with some custom buttons...I'm using Excel 2010. One of the buttons is to save the the workbook by utilizing the users input as the file name. This workbook is to be saved as a template in a specified folder. The code also checks to see if the file already exists, and prompts the user to overwrite if it does already exist.The code I have seems to be working just fine. The problem is...when I try to open the newly saved workbook, it won't open.Here is the entire code for the button click event:
Dim Warning As DialogResult m userFileName As String Warning = MsgBox("Warning Message", vbOKCancel + vbCritical, "Warning Title")
I saved a text file. The text characters were in RichTextBox iwth multiple lines. I used
RichTextBox1.AppendText(ControlChars.Cr) or RichTextBox.AppendText(ControlChars.Lf)
at the end of each line, but when I opened this text file using NotePad, all lines were displayed with ONE line. The strange thing is: if I open the same text file using other editors, .e.g. an IDE of Microchip or Freescale or Multi-edit...the text display had multiple lines as expected.
What should I do to make display as expected in NotePad?
I made a buttom that saves info from RichTextBox to selected location now My problem is I want this file to be loaded when program loads so basicly folder will look like this
myprogram.exe CustomNamesFolder > Inside that folder there will be a file called names.txt how can I doit so that name.txt file loads in my ComboBox? so when user downloads the exe they can just go in to folder edit the .txt file and add names they want and when they start program it will load this list in to the ComboBox of my program
How can I achive this ? I looked at 6 pages of Loading Files in program but non told me what I wanted to know above ;s
I am learning VB 2008 Express Edition to solve the following issue: how do I put the color of each pixel in a table, allocate a code (from 1 to 256 in the case of a 256 colors picture) to each different colors and print these codes at the right place on a grid? A few years ago, I had a basic knowledge of VB6 but VB6 being not compatible with Windows 7, I had to install a new version, VB 2008 Express edition, version that I don't know at all!
What I am trying tot achieve is the following:User inputs data in one form that saves to the dataset table no problems. On an edit screen I want the current data saved to appear in this page within all the relevant fields but when saving I want this data to add to the dataset table as an additional line of data so the transaction records are kept.I want to add a new datarow regardless of it saving one change or all 7 changes that are possble.
e.g. Line 1 - user inputs 7 cells of data Line 2 - user amends 2 cells of data Line 3 - user amends 1 cell of data an so on. Unfortunately the terminology for certain items above may not be correct as I am still new to this programming and still on a massive learning curve.At the moment I do not have the code for what I am trying to achieve as I really dont know where to start with it.I am currently able to save the data and have it appear in the "edit" panel however only the cells changed are saved an it overwirtes the initial input.
Using VB 2008 Express, I've constructed a simple database type app for saving contacts. The table data I save at design time is always saved correctly but data entered at run time seems to get saved even after closing the app and VB. However, after restarting the computer, the newly entered data is usually gone. Why would this be? I've seen a few video tutorials on creating simple database apps and did everything they did and am getting the same problem. I thought it was a configuration problem so I actually re-installed Windows and VB 2008 Express (as well as 2010 Beta 2). I have noticed that in the database explorer, the .mdf file has a red x to the bottom right of the yellow database icon and when I click the + it seems to turn into a black plug. Is this normal?
creating an application using VB 2010 Express. i found data I entered into table were not saved (after I clicked"Save" button)successfully into Microsoft access file which I had added successfully as datasource.These are the codes:
I'm trying to figure out/learn how to overwrite previously saved data. Right now when I save data to my excel form and then reopen it, to edit, a duplicate row with the edited data is shown along with the previously saved data as well.

I have a simple Master/Detail program the database contains 2 tables and the form contanis 2 datagridview controls getting it's data from 2 bindingsource controls
my problem is when I enter a new record in the grid that belongs to the master table and enter a detail to that data the data of the new master record is saved but not it's detalis but when I enter new details for old master record the save is done well
how I can enter an new record for master table and enter a detail for it and save without loosing detail data
I have tried to test out the add delete and save function on a datagridview but the data that I added during testing would disappear after I made some changes to the code.
I have made a application that detects already saved hotkeys and data assigned to them, so now whenever I press the hotkey to send the assigned data to active window it does sends the data to active but it won't stop sending data...I am calling my function that reads data from the database in timer device and the function that detects the hotkey...
Here is my code Private Sub Hot_Checker_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Hot_Checker.Tick gKey.CheckBox() 'is the object that calls the function to check the pressed hotkey keyTemp = gKey.getHkey() [Code] .....
trying to find the main error that is causing this to happen, after pressing the hotkey my app won't stop sending the data to the active window. My app should wait for the next hotkey press rather than sending data.

I am having a hard time figuring this out. It's about ExecuteNonQuery() method and sql server database. I done several testing and still getting the desired result which is data captured from application window and saved into sql server database table.
Some results i gotten from my testing:Query - Senario 1:From application window, data was captured into variable memory but didnt save into database and end up with blank database. (Tested many rounds still end up in this senario)Senario 2:Used the command console in the data explorer frame, with the insert query along with required value, an entry was made. (Test a couple of rounds and i know it worked)
ExecuteNonQuery() - Tested using if/else method as shown below and the result was pass that show the method is working. This testing method was found from this link: [URL]Below is my create Method(sentence with ' are comments):
Dim DatabaseConnection As String = My.Settings.QuotationDatabase [color="#00FF00"]'Connection to Database[/color] Dim SqlConnection As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(DatabaseConnection) [color="#00FF00"]'Linking Database Connection via SqlClient to Application[/color] Dim Query As String = "Insert Into Clients2 (Title, Name, Email, Designation, ResidentialNumber, MobileNumber, CompanyName,
If i run the program in debugmode and then do a update it will be saved to the database.(must stop and run again to see the update. How to se the update directly?) My main problem is that if a build the program and run it outside VS then update never being saved. How can i solve this. I tried using "commit"(maybe totaly wrong) but that didnt work.
bare with me here ok I posted on here a while back, like month to 2 months ago about creating an array of data (user inputed data). But was suggested to go the class route. After weeks of lengthly reading came up with a list collection class.
the software im currently creating requires that a loaded powerpoint slideshow be automatically saved as a powerpoint show file (without actually creating a pps file).
i have this app. with a listbox , a save button, and 2 textboxes the listbox loads all the files in a folder that i save directly from my save button it automatically loads up the files when i click on a listing in the listbox, text1 is the file name, text2 the content.i want to be able to have the listbox highlight the new saved file name in the listbox once i save the file in order to show that the file was created and such.
