2010 : Save XML File Using Linq?
Sep 18, 2010
I need to create an application that is able to modify the XML elements value.I have an XML file which was created by another to be used for flash movie which has the following layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<games>
<game>
<gameName>Cowboy</gameName>
[code]....
As you can see there is this string "™" on <gd02>. My question is, whenever I save the file, the code changed to "TM" which is fine for most cases. But I need it to stay the same because apparently flash will not display the superscript "TM" if not using the code. How can I do this?

I just upgraded a project from VB 2008 to VB 2010. Before, the project did not use LINQ. I have started implementing it. So, I have updated the target framework from 2.0 to 3.5, and added a reference to System.Core, and imported the namespace System.LINQ to the entire project and also imported System.Data.LINQ into the form I'm working with (because it was not available in the list for Imported Namespaces in the references tab).
It's not throwing any errors now, but my IntelliSense is not working for LINQ stuff.
For example... I write this:
[CODE]....................
Then, if I type S. on the next line, the IntelliSense doesn't grab what it should for S (Only get Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString, instead of the options I should get like Count, First, FirstOrDefault, etc...). If I Type S.First. then its the same thing, no IntelliSense that lists the available fields for S, just the standard options (Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString). I should be seeing my column names in my table when I type S.FirstOrDefault.
So any ideas what is going on? When I type the code, for example, MessageBox.Show(S.FirstOrDefault.FirstName), it works perfectly. But it doesn't change the casing of the text (so it would read s.firstordefault.firstname) and no intellisense while doing it. But no errors. BTW - Everything works perfectly when creating a NEW VS 2010 application, it's just my projects upgraded from Visual Basic 2008 that have this issue.

I need a better solution that what I am currently using, and not sure where to go from here.The program uses a scanner and scans documents into it. It uses a flat file (essentially a csv) to store data captured from the documents being scanned (each line in the file is one "document", with each value in the line being some piece of data from that document).
The scanner can scan up to 100 documents per minute, so it runs very fast.Currently, when a document is scanned in, the flat file is opened, a line written to it, then closed.It works for the most part, but sometimes i guess it's too fast for the IO operation, and some documents get completely missed. It will throw an error "error accessing file....". I assume this is because the file is still open from writing the last document to it.
Documents can be scanned at random, so they aren't always constantly scanning. It may scan 100 at a time now, then wait 10 minutes, and then scan one document.Database is not an option, per the specs of this program. It must be flat files. If theres a way to use a flat file like a database, that's cool. It doesn't have to be in CSV format.
It MUST be able to write to the file immediately after scanning. I worry about leaving the file open for writing constantly while the program is open because of a system failure or crash, the file may get corrupt or lost. That is not acceptable. It must be the best option for data recovery, should the computer crash or power go out, etc.

How do you save all the settings in a simple code; lets say you have a text box, a checkbox, and a listbox.
In the text box, it lets say you wrote hi
checkbox, you checked it off
listbox, you selected lets say HI from it.
How do you save the settings onto a file? Lets say a .cfg or whatever thats called file. Its like automatic, so that the cgf says lets say says:
NameofCheckBox=true
NameOfListBox=HI
NameOfTextBox=hi
Any way to do this stuff? I've seen some people do it, but they wont tell me how. I dont want to add all this code just to make a file that saves it & reads from it. I know the streamwriter and streamreader, but its a bit complicated.

This seems almost to easy to ask, but I must be missing something simple.I've added a folder in the project explorer, by right clicking>add>new folderBut when I run under debug, I am unable to save to that folder as it's not in the debug folder, I get:"A Generic error occurred in GDI+"In this code, the first line saves the bitmap fine (in the debug folder), the second line fails with the above alarm..
"vb"
If Not value Is Nothing Then value.Save(Application.StartupPath & "Image.bmp")
If Not value Is Nothing Then value.Save(Application.StartupPath & "ImageImage.bmp")

I need my app to determine between Win XP, Vista and Win 7 so It can deside which path to save txt file. I know this can be solved by running program as administrator and be able to save in whatever path you like but it would be good if the user didnt have to. Vista and win 7 suxx in this regard although win7 is great otherwise, use it myself.
Anyways would be nice if it was as simple as:
OS = humhum
and the if else
but probably not TT

I developed a organizer app that will allow me to type in multiple different script ideas I have. I have different text fields for genre, length, characters, etc. Anyway, my problem is how do I go about saving at the information in those text boxes. Is there someway I can save the project as a file, then open it back up to modify it, while still being able to create new ones. Someone suggested using xml data storage, but will that allow me to save multiple different data sets, since I won't just be working with one script all the type.

Ok so with my program i'm trying to create a save configuration I have it in my context menu so that I can click save configuration and what i want it to do is check to see what check boxes are checked and save those to a file (i.e. a notepad file or whatever works) that way I can save categories for customers or my own computer or whatever and than i'll just click load and choose the category I want and it will load the checkboxes that I want to install. I found a similar post but it's not really making sense to me. So i'm wondering what I need to do to make this work.
I'm also wondering how i'm going to load the configuration but I might have to wait on that one step at a time.

I'm creating a notepad application with richtextbox as the editor. I have pretty much all of the funtions I want for the application itself, but I want a code that will help me understand whether it has been saved to the computer already.For example, just like in notepad, where you can open a .txt file, and if you don't modify it, it won't prompt you to save on application.exit(), but if you do modify the file in any way, it will ask you if you want to save, and it will automatically save over the opened file without popping up a savefiledialog.
I want my application to do the same thing, and also with any files that I save. For example, when I save a new file, after it prompts me with the savefiledialog, and I save the file to a directory, on my next "save" not "save as" I want it to recognize where it previously saved the file to overwrite it without prompting me with a savefiledialog like "Save As" does.There must be a code to recognize where it was last saved, or opened, but right now my default directory ("Initial directory") for both the open and savefiledialogs are set to the C:/ direcotry.

My project is using Visual Basic 2010. I have a pure text save file with the following format:
num_TEC|1
num_STR|0
num_PER|0
num_MEC|1
num_KNO|1
num_DEX|1
I'm trying to load the data by using the first column as the object name and the second as the value. I've had some success with the following (skipping some basic IO lines):
prop = FileReader.ReadLine().Split("|")
tempvar = prop(0)
If TypeName(Me.Controls(tempvar)) = "NumericUpDown" Then
Me.Controls(tempvar).Value = prop(1)
I have a problems with this because I have some objects in panels or group boxes and Me doesn't reach into them.
Is there a way to just strictly reference an object with a variable? I'd love to assign the first column into prop(0) and just say
if TypeName(object(prop(0))) = "NumericUpDown" then
object(prop(0)).Value = prop(1)

Is there a really simple way to save the app.config file to a location then load it again? I'm making a multiclient app. I was planning on having each user have a folder, and in that folder would be their personalized app.config file that would load when they log in. I don't really know any XML.

1. I have a button, and registry entries, each tell me what version and where it is located.
Example : (reg path = HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareTNL)
Path = c:program filesmyprogram
Regan = us
The program its launching is called caw.exe. but it requires diffrent locations in a file named realms.*** file to work properly. Basically if Regan = us, do this, else if regan = eu do that, else if regan = tu do this. I need to basicly erase everything in that file and replace it, the file location is located under :
"PATH"/data/en"Regan"/realmlist.***
The PATH and Regan need to be replaced with correct paths.
2. After it has finished modifying the File it saves it and then Launches
Path/caw.exe

I have a form with 2 TextBoxes that I want to be able to save to a text document like C:Data.txt. When I save to the text document I want it to continuously save. For example it when you open the text file it should look something like this:
TextBox1
TextBox2
------------
TextBox1
TextBox2
Is it possible to do something like that? A separator is not necessary, would be nice to distinguish different saves.

[code]I have one button to play all the stuff, but it needs the full path to the mp3 file to play, but I only saved the File name to the Listbox.So basically, I'm wondering how to be able to still select files in the Listbox and press Play, when the Listbox's Items do not include the full path to the actual files.I know I could just add the full path to the listbox from the beginning, but I don't think that looks good.So maybe someone can point me in the right direction, or maybe provide me some source code.

I have searched, but failed to find a suitable answer to this. My small app saves a text file using a savefiledialog and stream writer. Then if successful, displays a messagebox confirming sucess and asks if the user wants to open the text file now. and this is the problem... How do I determine if the user has changed the filename and or path in the savefiledialog when saving? I'd prefer not to hard code a path and file name if possible.... but that seems like the only option? and therefore I can't show the file straight after saving reliably??

I am developing an application that will call to the current user path so that a text file can be saved. I have seen a few forum threads that call to the current user path but I have been unsuccessful in making it work. Id like to try and save a text file, lets say 'test.txt' to 'C:Users(current user)My Documents' [URL] The above link has a way of calling the current user name, but when I publish the application, all it does is call to 'C:UsersMy Documents' and ultimately does not work. I have searched multiple terms and about 20 pages deep into google each time.
