I know pretty much how to save information into a text file from runtime VB2005. However, I wish to be able to write the information into any kind of form of file that cannot be simply opened and read by anyone (such as text file can be). Is there anyway that VB2005 can do this?

View 3 RepliesI have a scenario where i have to Parse a UTF-16 Encoded CSV file and populate a treeview using VB.Net. I need to parse the CSV files which may also support other languages. how to proceed on this and what classes of .net I can use to solve this issue.
In VB.Net we do not have a provision to parse a UTF-16 file But There is a provision for reading UTF-8 encoded file.The method is OpenText(). I want a similar method but it should parse or read a UTF-16 encoded file.
I am a sys admin for a company and our programmer left several months ago. a program they wrote is now failing and i am struggling to work out why. the program basically pulls data from a csv file into a readable form, written in visual basic. the application works on a couple of machines but not on a couple of others. i have matched up .Net framework versions, MS Primary Interop Assembly versions, still no joy. As the app works on some pc's i am wondering what other differences could cause this?
The error output is:

CODE:
JIT Debugging
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled.

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.
If On Open File BOM is npt found then i have to treat the file as UTF-8. If BOM compatible with UTF-16 is Found then load it as UTF-16 If BOM is not compatible with UTF-16 then post error message."Not Compatible"
How can I implement all these conditions at once. As the criteria for all is only BOM. how can I know if BOM is found or not. Kindly let me know.
I was trying to read some file that is encoded with UTF-8 and save it as UTF-16 (Unicode) but it seems not to be fully working as all accents seem to vanish or are encoded to something that can not be read.

I am making a program thats writing to a file. Another program is also writing to the file. Its a txt file. My program adds some text to it.When i click a button in my program, i first want it to check if i was the "last" program who wrote to that file. If i was, then it should not write. If i wasn't, then it should write to it.
I don't know a good method for this, but i know 1 method:after the program has written to the file, it gets the size of the file and saves it. Then next time it gonna write, it checks the size of the file and compared to the saved one. If its the same, it was my program that wrote to it last.
is there any way to take letters out of a textbox then re-display them scrambled, such as the word Tissue then at the push of a button make the word displayed sisute or some other order?
