File I/O And Registry :: Saving Data From Class Properties?
May 28, 2009
I currently have a class
Code:
Public Class Customer
Public Property AccountNumber() As String
Public Property PMDue() As String
[code]....
Account Class is initialized as new customer. To save the data from each property in the Account Class, I'm currently looping thru the properties each time Account obtains new data. I tried to simplify the process by the following line...
Code:
CustomerStreamToWrite.WriteLine(Account)
This does not work as written. I figured it would be much faster. It did not write out the property data. It saved "WindowsApplication1.Customer" Not exactly what I wanted. Is there a method to get it to save the properties in a written out style by just using the class name?
rewriting a class I use for saving Treeview data to a XML file for use of saving ListView data I can't really figure out the rewrite, I'm stucked, unfortunately Listviews seems to be a big problem for me in general.
Option Strict On
''' <summary> ''' The TreeViewDataAccess class allows the nodes within a TreeView to be ''' persisted to xml for later retrevial. ''' </summary>
I'm working on a kind of database program. What it does is, after an user fills in a couple of textboxes and hits an "Add" button, it creates a series of textboxes, and places these in the same form. After that, and here's where I have the problem, I want to be able to save the form, saving not only what each dynamically added textbox says, but also it's location in the form.
Here's part of my work up to now: Code: Public Class Form3 Dim k As Integer = 1 Dim i As Integer = 0 Dim j As Integer = 0 Dim x As Integer = 8 Dim y As Integer = 40 [Code] .....
NOTE: Age, name, last name, tel and type are all the fields that the user has to fill in, they are textboxes.
Using FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(path), I get what I need most of the time. All the properties are there. But... I have this one folder that most of the properties for this object are NOTHING... except the [Name] property.
I have a VB 2003 project and I have saved dynamic settings in the app.config.exe file with success.I am using ColorDialog to change the color of textboxes. Everything works OK except I need to save the changes in the config file.I have success with saving changes for textbox.text but not colors.
Currently 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:
The object is to load an image into a picturebox, then save a new copy of the image in a different location, but with the height and width of the image box not the original file's height and width but I can't figure it out. I've got the loading and saving working no problem but getting it to adopt the new size is stumping me, it just keeps saving with the original file's size properties
If I save some data as a class and I serialize it all done in vb.net. What happen if someone with another language like PHP whats to use that data will be that possible directly?
I have a question about how to save a class object to a file that can be used to create a same class later. The class should contain some structure or proprties and different types of data such as Byte, String, Bitmap, Color and so on. Is there any good way to save all these things? Convert the whole class to byte or make it to XML? The only way I know is saving to XML, but I feel hard to write all types like Image, Array List in XML. Here is a part of the class:
I am having trouble saving a class to a file via Serialization. I am getting this error: Type 'System.Drawing.Graphics' in Assembly 'System.Drawing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' is not marked as serializable.
I have changed the: Public Class cJigsaw to: <Serializable()> Public Class cJigsaw The next line in my class is: Public img As Bitmap
I tried adding the <Serializable()> attribute to this code, yet it has this error: Attribute 'SerializableAttribute' cannot be applied to 'img' because the attribute is not valid on this declaration type.

I'm Writing a Problem that will allow users to move data from one Data file to the next, using a Text file. My problem is that i so far i 3 test users.
No matter what test user is logged on it seems to be Reading the first user info no matter which one is on.
How do i get it to Only Read the User Info and show it up on text file that is Currently logged on.
Code: Imports System.IO Public Class TestForm6 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
I am trying to code a delete button for a browsing program based on data from a txt file. I have coded the buttons to sort(ascending and descending), append to the text file, search the text file, but I can not seem to get the delete function working. I am using VB 2010, this is what I have so far:
Code: Dim deleline As String Dim line As String Dim isFound As Boolean = False sr4 = IO.File.OpenText("Students.txt")
This is what I am trying to do. I need to create some data inside my app and send it to another app as a file. But this 'file' should never be written to the hard drive. It will only ever exist in RAM.
I am making a simple application that will be able to store competition data into a text file that I have given a custom extension to on saving. Here is an example of the format that i have saved the data in.
When i open the file, i want to redisplay the data in separate text boxes. Later on in the project i want to be able to search within the file for headings for example;
if "[Heat1]" is present then get all text between [Heat1] and [Heat1]
i am currently able to use the streamreader and open file dialog to retrieve the entire string of text fromthe however i am not sure how to go about getting the text between the headings I have used.
1 List all of the data from Teams.txt in a Listbox. Include suitable headings.
2 List all of the data from Results.txt in the Listbox (use the same Listbox as in 1 above).Include suitable headings. Note that you cannot assume that the file contains onlyresults for the first 3 weeks of the season. Your program should be able to process a results file with more or fewer results.
3 List all of the data from Results.txt in the Listbox. However, in this case the actual team names should be output (your program will need to get this data from Teams.txt. The data should be formatted so that it is aligned correctly. Include suitable headings.
The output might look as follows:
Home Team Away Team Home Team Goals Away Team Goals Bunbury Braves Nedlands Nodders 5 2
I have a variable (double) that is constantly update in real time with data from an analog input. I would like to write this data as it comes in to a txt file. When I stop my acquisition of data from my analog input, I should have a txt file with all that data stored on my computer wherever I want it. The way I'd like that txt file to be laid out is like so:
Test Title: "This info comes from a string variable" Operator Name: "This info comes from another string variable" Test Date: "This info comes from yet another string variable"
[code].....
And so forth. As you can see I would also like to write the time for each data. This depends on my Timer interval which the user can set. The default is 50ms. So by default, y1 y2 y3 would be 0, 50, 100. How would I generate such a text file?
PS: I have five variables (X, Y, strTitle, strName, strDate)
I wish to import data (into a text box) from specified tags within an XML file.[code]Instead of loading the whole file into a text box I would like it to load data within <ABC></ABC> tags.The amount of <ABC></ABC> tags varies for each XML file. As does their placement (which line they are on).
I have about 4000 objects of a class, each object with 20 members/variables, integers and strings, total about 80000.
I would like to save these to a file, and read them back into objects when the program starts up.
How would I do this in order to keep track of each variable? I was planning to have each line in the file representing the variables of 1 object. Hence 4000 lines. But basically I'm just looking for the easiest way to save and retrieve this data. Should I first convert the objects to an array of strings?
I'm trying to read in a file. I'm not even sure what kind of data the file contains. Is it binary, unicode, etc? Or maybe it is encryted? I doubt it is encrypted, but I really have no clue. I am pretty sure it contains geometric/drawing data. It shows most characters as boxes.I've attached a picture of the contents when I open it in wordpad. Does anyone have a clue what type this is? and how to get it into a readable format using vb.net?
for a school project I have to write data from a listbox to a new file that a user can create. I can create and save a file no problem, but for some reason I can't write anything. I followed the textbook provided but when the file saves, I open it up and it is blank. I'm using fileWriter.WriteLine and I'm just test something basic to write to a file first and I can't do it:
Code: Private Sub storeFileButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles storeFileButton.Click 'creates a new file Dim result As DialogResult ' stores the file Dim fileName As String ' name the file to save the data
Whats the most efficient way to read in moderately large data tables of constants? Im talking about maybe a few hundred items in a vector, or some 6 x 6 or 8 x 10 tables of numbers or strings, that kind of thing. (Im aware that they arent really stored in two dimensions.)In the old pre-Windows versions of Basic, wed use READ and DATA statements.In VB, we can read from an external file. I dont like to do this because something might happen to the file.
The resource file is another option. The setup is tricky, but once you get it its simple to maintain. It does involve reading strings and splitting them up to get numbers, which should be slow.Then theres the brute force method, where you just fill in the array in the source, you know,x() = {303, 279, 274, 268,} and so on for many continued lines. Some work to get everything in the right place, but one time only. I suppose that this makes the executable bigger.
This is another one of my "I think it's not possible but I need confirmation" questions.I have a base class for a bunch of child classes. Right now, this base class has a few common properties the children use, like Name. The base is an abstract class (MustInherit)Technically, this means that everytime a child class is instantiated, it lugs around, in memory, its own copy of Name. The thing is, Name is going to be a fixed value for all instances of a given child. I.e., Child1.Name will return "child_object1", and Child2.Name will return "child_object2".
This saves a bmp with nothing in it Dim bmp As New Bitmap(PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height) PictureBox1.DrawToBitmap(bmp, PictureBox1.DisplayRectangle) bmp.Save("C:UsersXXXXXXXXdocuments estingoftheimage.bmp", Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
I'm rewriting a legacy application in .NET. In the earlier version, I used a few control .INI files that could be edited by the advanced user to provide variation in certain program options. (The program also permitted override of these same variabes via menus and such.) I used the API functions to read the .INI files and rewrite them to alter the user's environment for subsequent runs.
I have a project where I have data in the my.settings part of the project. When I compile the project and run it on an XP machine, a Vista machine, and a Windows 7 beta machine, the data is not getting updated. In fact I can't even find the .config file that should be created when my application runs. The code I am using to update the data is this:my.settings.properties. item ("Agent").defaultValue = "Andy"my.settings.save()my.settings.reload()What do I need to do to get the changes to be saved?
