how would I accomplish saving a large piece of data, using the Stream Reader for the Line-by-Line, while keeping the carriage return line feeds in there?
[Code]...
Is there anyway to take a static stream reader, and switch it to another text file based on the user changing the file?

I am trying to make my application read data from a file. Then save the data back. However I keep getting an error which says the file is still open so cannot be edited. I also read that there is an issue with the streamreader and streamwriter do not close the program straight away. I was wondering if anyone had a way around this or any alternative ideas. Heres my code so far!

however, I am stuck at BinaryReader.actually this is what i am trying to acheive through VB.NET.say for the following file type :
JPG file = FF D8 FF E0
BMP file = 42 4D BE 4E
PNG file = 89 50 4E 47
GIF file = 47 49 46 38
the above are the 4-byte headers in Hex(raw) I need to read these headers of any given file using OpenFileDialog using Button1_click event,on selection of any given file(*.* filters ON)it should use the BinaryReader and look for only 4-bytes starting from offset 0, and it should not go to EOF marker (-1).and have a variable to hold this 4-byte header value, to run this in a database table which will check the same header value in the table and would display the corresponding extension of the file. from the table.
I can do this using case, if then...etc.however, I have to do it using Database and also i need to check for testing purpose to use MsgBox() to display this variable which is holding the 4-byte header.however, the MsgBox doesnt allow anything other than String.
PS: I tried studying the methods like:
FileOpen/Seek/Peek/ReadBytes().
but still not sure how to get them work.

The bigger problem is that I can't seem to get everything involving using stream writer and reader working. If I start of with a .txt file already correctly formatted then I can display it in the list box. But adding data during run time is not proving successful.

I've set up a stream reader to get data from a serial file, functionality for that is already set up.
My problem is that the program seems to be missing out every other line of code in the file, which kinda defeats the point of a serial file. [code]...

View 3 RepliesFrom few days I am doing efforts to read web pages using webbrowser control in my desktop application. But it is very slower than my expectations(because I want to read lots of pages in minutes and browser control reads almost one page in 5 to 10 seconds), what I need is to read two or three tags written in web page.
So finally I decided to use something, which can give me only source code of page. I think StreamReader will help me to read it. I am not sure if it is flaxible with my purpose, or something else is there which can give me only html source code of web page.
I have written this code to read html code, but it gives error.

I have been using the following Stream Reader code for over a year now to pull information from 3 websites w/ no issues. Recently my users are getting massive amounts of "Timeout" errors. I have opened a ticket w/ the IT department but they have not found any issues (we are experiencing off/on issues w/ our web traffic speeds in our department). Per the code I have the timeout set to 20 seconds but the Timeout error occurs in only a few seconds from the System.Net.WebException.

I'm trying to setup a simple app that reads a file and then writes the contents to another file using OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog. Looking at the debbugger it looks like it's reading fine, I can see the data I want written. Towards the end of my code I get the following error message:"Illegal characters in path". I've researched this error. I'm not using any illegal characters such as /\? etc and the pathname contains all alpha characters. I'm pulling the test file from the C drive and trying to save it there as well.

Private Sub btnAppendData_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAppendData.Click

View 1 RepliesI am new to Visual Basics and I am using Visual Basic 2008 express. I have been using video tutorial on line to learn VB and they are great in explaining what is happening the code vs. just looking at code. I think from what little I can find I would be using StreamWriter WriteLine and StreamReader readLine .I am using a couple of forms. I am looking for simple basic code to use a form as a way of modifying timer intervals and store the values in a single text file on separate lines.
Description:
Form1: will contain the main code that will run. It will contain some timers. I want the timers to look in a text file for their intervals. Each timer would be on a different line.
Example:
Timer1 interval would be located on line 3
Timer2 interval would be located on line 6
Timer3 interval would be located on line 20
Form2: will contain 3 textboxes. This is where when I load form2 I will also read the same values from the text file to preload the text boxes. I will now be able to change the timer intervals as needed and press a button to update the text file. The update button will also reload the new timer settings on Form1. This is very similar to how a CNC Machine works with Parameter settings. This can be useful for storing many different settings for a form that a user can modify and be stored and reloaded next time the program runs.
I have a text file that has different controls for text boxes. This text file controls the BackColor, BorderStyle, Font-Bold, Font-Size, Height, Width, ReadOnly, and TextMode a sample is below:
*****Detail Header
txtDetailHeaderBackColor = Black
txtDetailHeaderBorderStyle = None
txtDetailHeaderFont-Bold = False

View 8 RepliesI'm currently coding a file reader for fixed-width tables in VB, and the compiled application seems to be sucking down memory like there's no tomorrow. I'm working with a series of ~50 megabyte files, but after running through several, the process starts taking up about 200+ megabytes of RAM, which is way more than it should.I've done some poking around, and I think the issue is the call to NewRow(), but don't take my word for it. Does anyone have some tips for optimizing this? If the problem's with the NewRow() call, is there a way of clearing this out? [code]
