Save Data To Random Access Files?

Sep 6, 2010

how do you save data stored in an array of records (structure) to a text file using StreamWriter? I currently have

Private Sub btnSaveToFile_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSaveToFile.Click
Dim sw As New StreamWriter(New FileStream("EmployeeDetails.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
For Each record As EmployeeType In employees

[code]....

but it doesn't work. My array is fixed and currently has 3 elements (for testing purposes). If I enter two records and add these to the structure I get the following data saved to the text file:

123,helen,66000
879,john,89975
0,,0

How do I stop unused elements of the array being included when writing to file? Should I use a dynamic array instead and if yes, how do you use dynamic arrays with structures?

TreeView Update Bug In The .net Framework?

Jun 5, 2010

Consider the following code:

Dim Working As Boolean = False
Private Sub TreeView1_AfterCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.AfterCheck
If Working Then Exit Sub

[Code]...

Where TreeView1 is a TreeView added to the form, with CheckBoxes set to true and one node added. The code basically cancel any node checking occuring on the form. Single-clicking the top node to check it works well : your click is immediately canceled. Yet if you double-click the checkbox, it will display a tick. But verifying the check state through a right click will yield a Checked = False dialog.

How come? Is it a bug (I'm using the latest .Net Framework 4.0, and he same occurs in 2.0), or am I doing something wrong here? Is there a work around?

EDIT: Additionally, the MouseDoubleClick event is not raised before you click once again.

EDIT 2: Posted a bug report at Microsoft Connect

EDIT 3: See this bug report as well.

Chart / DataGridView Object Refuses To Update And Designer Has Random Columns

Sep 29, 2011

I have an object (ClassGPS) containing a DataTable that is exposed through the property "Satellites". My form has a bindingsource that, upon load, associates itself to a new ClassGPS object. The table has 5 columns, two of which ("PRN" and "dB") I want to chart using the new 4.0 chart tool. So the chart object's DataSource = ClassGPSBindingSource, and the DataMember = Satellites. That is all set in the designer.In ClassGPS.New(), the table is pre-loaded with 4 rows. This object is created before the form loads. When the form loads and the bindingsource is set to the created GPS object, the chart correctly updates and displays the four pre-loaded entries.On this form, I have a button that adds more entries. Tracing from the Click event, pushing the button does add the entries properly to the underlying table, and if I create a ListCHanged handler on the data source, the events are all correctly firing, but the Chart does not update to reflect the changes.

So to test, I added a Datagridview object. Just like the chart, I set its datasource to ClassGPSBindingSource, and the DataMember to Satellites. And here's where it gets weird. In the designer, the newly added DataGridView control has 4 columns in it labeled RowVersion, Row, IsNew, and IsEdit. I didn't create these columns, it does it itself. If I try to change the bindings on these columns to reflect the actual datatable names (PRN and dB) two things can happen:

1) If I hit Play (F5) to debug the program, the DataGridView looks and acts correctly inside the program and is correctly bound and updating fine as I add new data. In the designer underneath however, the changed columns have disappeared and are replaced with the original four it is creating for no apparent reason. When the debug session terminates, the columns - which just finished functioning fine in the debug session - are now gone.

2) If I hit Build, the designer destroys my columns immediately and recreates those it defaulted to.In either case, something very fishy is going on... in that the Chart, with the exact same binding settings as the datagridview, does not work but the datagridview works just fine (unless Build is hit prior to Run).Has anyone run across this? Can you reproduce it? I have bound a chart to a datatable before and it worked just fine, but it didn't have to update except when the form it was on was closed and later re-loaded.

Converting VB5 To VB2010 - Random Access Files?

Jul 27, 2011

I am trying to convert a VB5 program to VB2010 so that I can continue to support it on my new PC. My copy of VB5 was an upgrade from VB3 which was an upgrade from VB2 which came on floppies, so I can't just install every preceding version as my new PC doesn't have a floppy drive.I have accepted that I will have to design all the forms from scratch (whatever happened to twips?) and will have to go through the thousands of lines of code line-by-line, but I have hit a brick wall when it comes to random access files. One such file is defined in the Declarations section of Module1 thus:[code]....

I soon found I had to change Type to Structure, but then in the declaration of transrec, transtype acquired a wavy blue underline with the error message: "'transrec' cannot expose type 'transtype' in namespace 'Treasurer_2010' through module 'Module1'.So if I can't use the structure in the module in which it is declared, where can I use it?

File I/O And Registry :: Random Access Files In .NET?

Nov 2, 2009

how to read and write random access records in .NET. Now I know random access files are dead and the response on every query I found with google/bing/yahoo searches was don't use random access use Binary serialization but I can not. I have a situation where I need to read and modify 256 byte records in a file that is used by another application.

Now for a bit of background the file is made up of 27 fixed length records of 256 bytes. Each of the records has a separate structure consisting of 30-120 fields. The proplem I am having is I can create the record structures but when using the FileGet method I am receiving an error. Now I have found samples that showed the same format I am using that claim to work.

The error I am getting is Option Strict On disallows narrowing from type 'System.ValueType' to type 'ProgramName.ModuleName.Record' in copying the value of 'ByRef' paramater 'Value' back to the matching argument.

The basic layout (simplified) is as follows:

Code:
Structure Record
<VBFixedString(6)> Public SomeParam as String
Public SomeNumber as Short

[Code]....

Now the overloads for FileGet show all of the data types including Object. But I have tried various methods to retreive the 256 byte record but without success. Do I have to actually read each of the several hundred fields of the structure one by one? Or am i overlooking something (I have been known for this in the past)

Or (and I'll kick myself if this is the only way) do I just have to set option strict Off in the module and the code as above will actually work.

I would love to be able to just ditch the random access file but I have to keep it for compatibility with several other applications at this time.

How To Read Existing VB 6 Random Access Files

Oct 30, 2010

I have 15 years' worth of files (approx. 10,000) that were created using VB6 structures and stored using the random access method. I am trying to write a conversion routine that will read the old structures and put them into a new format that is more compatible with the .net environment. I have not been able to successfully read any of the old files using the tools available in .net. Each file starts with a header record structure. The header record tells me how many tags are in the file. The next record (ie record number 2) is the first tag pointer record in the file.

There are num_of_tags of the pointer records. Each pointer record has the string that holds the tag's 'literal name and two long integers that tell where in the file this tags records are. Those actual records are stored as History data structures, [Code]

Converting Quick BASIC To VB - Random Access Files

Will VS 2010 Express Read, Write To Random Access Files

I have recently decided to give .net another chance, but i have a few questions about it before i get really into it. RE: Files, I use random access files to store data as opposed to databases (namely i don't see the need for a database for storing so little information(records <200 max) knowing that it is an older system and less "cool" i don't care...) Will vs2010 express read, write to random access files? Would it be done kind of like vb6 (which is my current vb version)? I will be needing to print the text of rich text boxes, is vs2010 express capable of doing this?

.net - Sending Data From VC++ To VB In A .NET Framework?

Mar 2, 2010

I'm having a heck of a time figuring this out, the tutorials I found on the web are not complete or are for VB 6.0 (obsolete in some cases). On the C++ side I have the following ::

hwndExternalApplication = FindWindow(NULL, L"Dromocast Client");
SendMessage(hwndExternalApplication, WM_SETTEXT, NULL, (LPARAM)"Hello");

"Dromocast Client" is my visual basic application, and I checked to make sure it's not NULL. In fact I get made sure I'm getting some data on the VB side. On my Visual Basic side I have the following

[Code]...

When I send the data over it's garbage, meaning strTemp comes out as all these chinese characters, and my title bar on the visual basic program gets garbled with a bunch of chinese characters as well. My guess is my "SendMessage" is written wrong, or I'm doing something silly, but I have no idea what. I'm not a windows programmer so I'm kinda trying to figure this stuff out by googling.

Entity Data Framework 101

I am used to using datasets for my projects in terms of data access. I now set myself an easy app to work on in order to learn the entity data framework and how to retrieve & manipulate data.Can anyone guide me through on where to start, what are the advantages of this model, In what scenarios should I choose to use entity framework and what are the things (basis) I should now before starting.My datasets are working fine too. Are there any reasons for me not to stick with that way of accessing data? Or is this something to consider depending on the users of the website (for speed purposes etc.)
