.Net - Writing To Textfile From A Textbox?
Nov 7, 2010
just another little problem here! Trying to write a quiz for a college portfolio and having trouble with writing to a .txt textfile. On one form(form4.vb), I have a listbox that picks up the information held within a notepad textfile called "usernames" which contains names of quiz users. When written in manually to this textfile, my listbox picks it up fine, however, on a different form(form3.vb), I have a textbox where a user inputs their name, this is supposed to go to the "usernames.txt" textfile to be picked up by the listbox on the other form but instead, it does not write anything at all and if there is already text on this textfile, it wipes it all out.I also have to use the application.startup path instead of the usual C:my documentents etc so i would have to begin with something like this: (Note: code is a little mixed up due to messing around with different variations but this is just a example)

I was trying to edit to get the reults output to a text file. I needed to do this for a few hundred IP addresses, and found kleinma's code. It works great as is, but since the number of IP addresses to ping is so large, I lose some of the info from the console session. I tried to make changes to write the information into a text file, but it doesn't output the results. I am relatively new to VB.NET, so I was wondering if you could please point out the flaw(s) in the edited code. I was trying to use the My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(File, lineContent, True) method to do this. This does export the IP address list just fine, but the results of the async ping to not get output.

I'm writing a program that retrieves certain lines from a textfile. This textfile is rather large, so is it possible to have a progressbar that shows the progress when it retrieves?

How would i read a textfile that is in My.Resources and put the whole document in a textbox for the user to see?
I figured i would need a IO.StreamReader and a IO.StringReader but cant figure out too much what to do with these.
I figured i could create a loop until it has read to the end of the document but there is no check called HasLineAvailable or something.

when you have a textbox and you save the contents to a file : My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, TextBox1.Text, False, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII) and you open the file in notepad, you will see instead of multiple lines one long line and where the vbNewLine should be, a small square symbol.
the simple reason is: even if you write a vbNewLine or vbCrLf to your textbox, it will be reduced to vbLf so when writing the textbox.text to a textfile it only writes the vbLf where you would like to have a vbCrLf
so all you have to do is replace the vbLf with vbNewLine :
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, Replace(TextBox1.Text, vbLf, vbNewLine), False, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)

I've got a csv text file "test.txt" in the following format with one record per line in the following format: Builder,Bob,B,99HappyStreet,Springtime,4
I've read them into an array and in design use the first two to populate a listbox and then use a selected index to fill text boxes and some list boxes.
ex. TextBox_FirstName.Text = Employees(ListBoxMain.SelectedIndex).FirstName
How do I write the changes made in the text fields back to the position in the file where it was? It has me stumped although I'm sure there is a SelectedIndex option that can work.
I've considered having all the new/changed data saved as a new record and then just deleting the 'old' entry but my delete code gives me a selectedindex-1 index out of range exception error that I'm working on as well. I am sure both problems are related.[cod]e...

The code below allows me to write a single line to a textfile. Id like to be able to open an entire textfile into a textbox, be able to edit said text and have it automatically write back to the same textfile.
Private myCoolFile As String = "C:UserskevinMy Documentspasswords.txt" '// your file.
Private myCoolFileLines() As String = Nothing '// String Array to read File Lines into.
Private sTemp As String = Nothing '// temp String to be used as needed.

I have some coding which displays a label if the value of a textbox matches the first value of each line in a textfile.
Dim sList As New List(Of String)(IO.File.ReadAllLines("Path"))
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To sList.Count - 1
[Code]...
The problem is if the textbox has 1 and the textfile has 11 it will display the label, what would be the best way around this?
I have tried sList(i).Contains etc but none of them are doing the job.

I've setup a TextWriterTraceListener which outputs the debug messages I've written to a file.This works fine however what I am trying to do know is output the content of this file to a textbox using a streamreader object.I originaly thought it may because I did not set the text file to allow read/write access so I changed this by setting the following:[code]

i know i have to use a loop to get each line of the textbox onto a newline of a textfile but i dont know how to figure out how many lines of text the user has entered into a textbox. I tryed using a try statment to loop until it errors, it seems to work sometimes but other times it only takes half of the textbox and adds it to the textfile. And if atmaweapon reads this, i tryed to make better names for variables. Here is my code,
Code:
Path = ("Meals" & ComboBox1.SelectedItem & "" & TextBox1.Text & ".txt")
File = New System.IO.StreamWriter(Path)
If ComboBox2.SelectedItem = "1" Then
[Code]....
how many line of text there are... im not so shure how good it is to run a loop tell it errors for a textfile, but its the only way i could think of.

I am trying to write a vb2008 program that allows a user to select an airport from a combobox and then once the value has been selected it searches a comma separated text file once it has found the airport selected ( always the first column in the file) in the file it populates 8 other textboxes with the row data from the file. The idea is to select the airport and then it calls up the radio frequencies associated with the airport.I assume you have to call the data into an array and the search thorough the array until the combobox.selectedvalue = the value in the array, but i am unsure how to do this Ideally I would like to be able to the user to add data to the file thats why I used a combox, but I am having trouble trying to get the boxes to populate so first things first.

I am trying to create a textfile and write some lines into the textfile. However, the code that i am using can only write when the textfile is already created in the directory.
For this case, can i actually allow my script to search if a textfile is being created, if not create a textfile ???
Dim pathdir As String = "C:workingdir est.txt"
If System.IO.File.Exists(pathdir) = True Then
Dim objWriter As New StreamWriter(pathdir)

working with Adobe .pdf files. I have an Adobe .pdf template that allows the user to enter text into different parts of the .pdf template (such as name, address, etc.) I have been developing a VB.Net program that is made up of a set of user forms. I would like to be able to have data that the user enters into textboxes on the VB.Net user forms write to specific areas of the Adobe .pdf template on the click of a command button. I have searched MSDN and Google but I have been unable to find any information on this particular task. If it is can you recommend a MSDN type article or any articles/books/message board posts that provide guidance on how to proceed with something like this.

What I would like is that when the user types a word, a string variable connected to that textbox.text will be treated as a string. BUT if the user types a number in the textbox, the textbox.text will be treated as an integer (for example a "Double")
