I am having a problem where when I save some text to an XML file it overwrites originally what was in there, I want to be able to add to the file. The file looks like this:
I am having some troubles with a project of mine. Its a basic financial manager for windows mobile 5 using VB.net. Everything works fine, however, when a value is saved in xml, it will be overwritten when another is saved. I want it to add these values instead of overwriting them entirely.[code]

I'm trying to edit an existing xls and just overwrite it without a prompt to overwrite. I thought it was something like Excel.DisplayAlerts = False but that's erroring with 'DisplayAlerts' is not a member of excel.
So this is my current closing code that doesn't work.
I currently have two applications. The main app and the updater app. When the main app checks his version with the webservice and it is out of date, it will download a zip archive and then start the updater. The updater will extract the zip archive overwriting the old files of the main app.
Is it possible to do this without the need of a 2nd app, in this case the updater? Can you like, store your application in the computers memory and overwrite the files?

The following code writes some data on an xml file. If I want to write on the same file twice the code overwrites the old data with new ones. How do I update the data instead of overwriting them? (i.e., write at the end of the xml file instead of overwriting the data)
Dim XMLobj As Xml.XmlTextWriter Dim enc As New System.[Text].UnicodeEncoding() XMLobj = New Xml.XmlTextWriter("C:" & current_scen & ".xml", enc)[code].....
I have a database called NurseLocationI have a table called CoverList with two fields UserId and CoveringI can connect to the database fine and read the fields into variables that I can use in my program. w I want to take an existing variable called userFullName and put it into the Covering field where the UserId is = to "LHV"This is my code on button click to do that.But I was told I shouldn't use INSERT because it creates a new field
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click 'Declare variables and get username from active directory
the program im working on is a form with multiple controls (textboxes,combobox, etc.) and it goes out and reads in a text file called test2.txt and plugs in values to the controls. the user will be able to change text in the fields and when they hit apply, it needs to overwrite the file.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim theFile As String = "c:\temp\test2.txt" Dim lines() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("c:\temp\test2.txt")
[code]....
with the given code, it errors out and tells me the file is already being used and can't be copied.how can i go about closing the file and THEN overwriting it?
ive managed to finally get it all working.if i click submit.. a file is then created in xml format but if i enter new data it will overwrite the same file how do i stop this.[code]how do i stop this from overwriting?
I have the following which searches the domain and lists out each user. I am writing them to a text file. The problem is each user name as it is found overwrites the other one.
I need them listed one under the other. Have I misplaced the Using statement?
Dim de As New DirectoryEntry() 'Name place to write file to Dim strFile As String = "C:MyFile.txt"
i have made a program that takes info from your registry and uploads it so I can fix it and you can download the new version of a key that makes things work faster.... when someone uploads a file, it works good, and i can look at the ftp's text file and see it, but every time someone ELSE uploads something, it overwrites the previous text file and makes another one, which deletes the first one. i would like so that when another person uploads something, it will just be on the second line then third, so on so forth.
I have a bunch of images loaded in as resources then i added a mediaplayer.resx file so i could keep the images separate... only now i have just discovered it doesnt? It still puts all images together, so i cant add multiple images with the same name? (needs to be the same name - its a filename)
how to add folders and images right into the project explorer.How do I then reference the images? are they just like files? so it would be app pathfolderimage.png ? WIll it add to the distibution like this?
I'm trying to search a folder and it's sub folders for a file and add those files to a datagridview. I think the code I have is right but I need to get some of the files info, like the name and what not. since I've tweaked it it doesn't work.
I checked the contents of the array at the end and it only held the last records within the text file, which suggest that it is overwriting the array, how can i prevent this?
I'm creating an app that will be run via scheduled task, it will save an XLS file with the following naming convention:'S14-PROORDEREXP-Thursday' (the Thursday will change depending on what day of the week it is)I have the following line of code to save this excel file:
VB If gstrJob = "S11" Then xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(gstrFilePathS11 & gstrFileNameS11 & gstrFileTypeS11) Else
[code].....
this will work fine the first time this scheduled task runs and there are no existing files but at the end of 1 week when I will be overwriting the existing files, how do I tell the application to overwrite the existing files without waiting on a yes prompt from me which it does in debug mode?
The program I am making uses a save dialog box and when I save a file it works fine. When I save and overwrite the file it seems to append the data. For some reason it keeps all previous data and just writes the data again. I'm using the XMLWriter to save the files. Is there any way of fixing this?
I have a dataGridView and tied it to a button that saves every time you click it. and every time you click it, I want to write a line to a txtfile that displays how many records were changed and the date that they were changed. Everything works fine but every time a save has been made it over write the previous entry on the text file. Here is some of the code.
If changes > 0 Then MessageBox.Show(changes & " changed rows were stored in the database.") ' changes shows how many entries were changed swDate.WriteLine(changes & " record changes on " & entryDate) 'entryDate is formated as date with value of "Now" Else
[code]....
I am getting the right results in the text file except it over writes previous entry's so there is only one entry saved in the text file at any given time. I want it to keep building the text file so every time something is streamWrited the previous things in the text file stay there and it add to it. Looking at my problem I cant really justify or implement a For Each..Next or a Do While..Loop. My vb knowledge is limited so go easy on me.
I made a program which uses sample.dll. The program communicates with this .dll and does various tasks. Now, lets say I developed a new dll (an update, pretty much). Can I just give my users a new copy of the .dll or do I have to re-reference it in my project and then compile my programs all over and then give them a new copy of the entire program?
I am going to handle an event to write all files in a directory to a text file.But only the last file's context is saved successfully, I think that because of overwriting.

I have developed a VB.NET application that generates code in a specific format. It has a multitude of features and everything works great. I recently added the ability to save generated code to a text file as well as the ability to load those text files into the application. I am looking to add one last feature (perk). I want to include a bunch of pre-coded text files with the application, that new users can load and use immediately. As of right now I have the application creating the directory they will go in, but can't find anything on how to include the text files and have them placed in that directory. This application uses one-click deployment (in case that matters).
I am adding all of my files as resources into my project (so they will work on another computer) however, I have some videos that I added as a resource for playing with AxVLC and I can't seem to figure out how to get them to work. I'm getting an error :Error 1 Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'AxAXVLC.AxVLCPlugin'.
I have a settings.ini file in the root folder of my application. Where in the project settings do I set it so that when i publish the project that this file goes with.When installed the settings.ini file must sit in the same folder as the .exe file.
i have a program that when you click a button it randomly gets a random line from the file and adds it to a textbox. Well when i give ppl the program it needs to have the .txt file in the same dir right.
But how would i add the file to the program itself ?
Or Add the contents of the file to the project ? maybe a class or something idk.
how to add the resources but how would I call them in the code? For example I created a picturebox then I added all the pictures I want. If I wanted to display a different one how would i do it in code?
Click-once deployments are suppose to maintain user settings, but on this one application we have the user settings are overwritten to the Visual Studio default every time we publish an update.
