View 4 RepliesCurrently I am saving data from my applications by saving a text file via a stream reader as a string. I have come to a problem. In my current application, I have an array of the following structure:
[Code]...
I want to save a string of text to a file every 1.4 seconds or so, and each day at midnight I want to create a new file for the days log data so I keep the file size down. The file stays open the whole time so that it is ready to accept data from several different forms which call a function (SaveToVoltsLogFile(str)), so I open it at module level like this:
Dim fsVlogStream As New FileStream(EVENT_LOG_PATH & VOLTS_LOG_FILENAME & DateString & ".ip", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read)
Dim swVlogWriter As New StreamWriter(fsVlogStream)
Now each time I call a function SaveToVoltsLogFile(str), the str data gets saved to the file:
Friend Sub SaveToVoltsLogFile(ByVal str As String)
swVlogWriter.WriteLine(str)
swVlogWriter.Flush()
End Sub
But by opening it this way, I cannot call a sub to close it and open a new file for the next day because putting the Dims into a sub means that the file is out of scope to other subs/functions, so my Save... sub won't work! So, what I think I need is a separate sub to open the file, another sub to close it, and another to write the str data. But how do I do this and keep the file in scope to all subs?
1.is it possible to save the database connection string to the textfile so that user would be able to know where the database is stored?
2. Any way to let the user decide where the database is stored? Since usually we, the programmer write the database connection string ourselves..
For my application, there is a login form in which users have the option for it to "save the login information" Kind of like MSN or other websites in which you go to a login page an the information is filled out. On my login form, I am using this code for my checkbox which is to "save login info"

View 10 RepliesEssentially what I'm trying to do is to save the value of a string() to a cell in the datagrid view. The problem is that when I close the program and reopen it the changed value isn't there... It's not saving properly.
Here is my code.
Dim BOCHURSTOTAL As Double = ((BochurimBindingSource.Current("Give_To_Bochur_Quant") * (bochurpr)) + _
(BochurimBindingSource.Current("Reg_Quant") * (regularpr)) + _
(BochurimBindingSource.Current("Priv1_Quant") * (private1pr)) + _
(BochurimBindingSource.Current("Priv2_Quant") * (private2pr)) + _
(BochurimBindingSource.Current("Priv3_Quant") * (private3pr)))
DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells("DGV1TotalColumn").Value = BOCHURSTOTAL
Me.Validate()
Me.BochurimBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.BochurimTableAdapter.Update(Me.PuterDataSet.Bochurim)
I would like to enable my app to run from a central database, but I dont want to recompile should the DB server change. Are my only two options saving the connection string to an XML file or the registry?
If so I think the XML file will probably be the way I go at least for me. I dont really want to mess with the registry. I just wanted to check what my options are.
I am creating a shell for a FORTRAN application which reads a tab delimited text file.Because I am using Excel to manipulate data, is it possible to use the Excel Automation features to "save as" a tab delimited text file?The only method available seems to be a unicode text format, which does not work. Or is there another format that mimics tab delimited so that the FORTRAN application will read such a file without difficulty?
View 1 RepliesI have an asp page with vb.net code that will query a database and present the user with the number of records that exist that need to be exported along with a button to export them. After you push the export button, it will prompt for a location and filename. But after that, it will not refresh the page with the new counts that now exist. Or in this case update the count to zero for the button they clicked.
[Code]
So how can I tell the page to refresh with the new counts. It almost seems like I need to tell the process to wait until after the user has finished finding the location and saving the file but I don't want to add a generic threading.thread.sleep in, I want it to only wait until they are done and then refresh the page.
Currently the reports are saved as a html file called report1.html, id like to make the user enter a name for the HTML file upon clicking submit.

Try
'Open new HTML file to be written
WriteHtml = New StreamWriter(Application.StartupPath & "ListHardware.html")
If Not (WriteHtml Is Nothing) Then ' Is the File Open

Is there a way of saving a form to file, so that it can be loaded at future point, with the data that it currently contains? The other way to do this that I can think of is to save the data that it contains to a file and then load it into the form, are there anyothers? The form has a tab control so printform to file won't help as I beleive I'm right in saying that the tab control won't be usable, as only an image is saved?
