How To Read/write Properties To Xml File For Later Retrieval
Aug 31, 2009
First off I am fairly new to VB .net however I have had some success in my project so far. I am creating a simple envelope accounting program for personal use. So far I have some basic forms created and have my class defined and a few methods for calculating my balances as well as changing the property data I want to work with. I now want to take this property data and save it to an xml file that I can easily retrieve the data into another form and save for later.
Here is a screen shot of the form used to gather the property data for my class
Here's the class code:
Public Class EnvelopeSystem
#Region "Identification"
Private eUsername As String = ""
Public Property Username() As String
[CODE]...
I am looking for advice on how to get this to xml the most efficient way possible. Also if there are any blatant errors or easier ways to code what I already have I am still very new at this and would be glad to see easier more efficient ways of coding.

I want to loop through the controls on a given form, if those controls contain controls then loop on those controls, get the final control and write ALL of its properties to a text file under the form_Control Name. Finally when the form loads it reads in that textfile and sets its properties.
I dont think the properties are set up as a collection, and therefore would probably have to know what the properties are for every control and program for each control, but i am hoping there's an easier way.
I am looking for a way to fine tune my applications by expsoing the properties in a text file and be able to manipulate the controls through the controls textfile.

Reading a .txt file in VB.net. My file path is C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt.
This is my line of Dim LoanOptionsFile As String = "C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt"
I can read the file when I run the program, but how do I write the file path so that someone else can download my program and file and read the file on their system?

i am using VB2008 to develop a Settings program for my game Lined World, creating with Game Maker. I've created a settings.ini:
[screen]
fullscreen=(off or on)
resolution=(800x600 or 1024x768)
[code]....
answers are depending on settings
now, i wanna create in the settings app the following:
"fullscreen" (radiobutton-on & radiobutton-off)
[code]....
if radiobutton fullscreen is on, [screen]fullscreen must be on, and if turned to off, the INI value should be "off".

I am working on a program with multiple collections related to one another for a school project. Each collection needs to have its own defined properties and have the objects written (1 per line) to a text file.
I have all of that working.
When reading the comma-separated line from the file, I want to place one of the properties of the object in a listbox (so that all the objects' names will show up in the listbox). I think I have this part figured out...
My problem is that when you click on the name in the listbox, I would like multiple text boxes to be populated with the appropriate, corresponding properties of the particular object in the collection...is there a way for this to be done?

I'm looking at an old web app I wrote and it is taking about an hour to read 4500 records from a DataTable so it can write them to a CSV file.
The DataTable contains... 376 columns
At least, I think that's what Excel's NL column converts to. I just looked up the column count now and had no idea there were so many. Our software vendor hasn't realized the value of dynamic sql statements for this process, so every software "upgrade" just keeps adding more columns rather than only selecting the ones needed. I cannot alter the SQL statement that generates the data
Depending on the data type, the data needs to be formatted in a specific format Data does contains special characters, such as commas The slow part is reading the data. Getting the data from the SQL server and writing it to a CSV is fast.
Here's the code. Forgive the mess, I wrote it back when I didn't know what I was doing and when I still was working in VB
Function ReadDataTableForCSV(dt as DataTable)
Dim sb = New StringBuilder()
Dim dataTypes As New Dictionary(Of String, Integer)
[code]....

I was unable to find anything in my searches for XML or INI on the forum so i apologize now if this has already been asked and answered before.
I have been searching Google for days now, trying to find information on Reading and Writing XML files. I wish to use them to replace INI files in my programs.
I have been using VB6 for years now, but was able to get a copy of VB.NET 2003 really cheap and so i am trying to learn how to do the things i did in VB6 in VB.NET 2003.
I was able to find code to write to an INI file, but was not able to successfully read from an INI file with any of the code i found.
I have been able to find code to write an XML file, but when i try to update it, it replaces the old file with a new one, and the old settings are missing, instead of the new settings added to it.
i can at least start migrating to VB.NET 2003, or if you read XML and update XML data, i can switch now. Here is the code i have for writing XML.[code...]

After two days of looking I give up. The basic problem is that at the end of my program I need to be able to write out a text file and then read that same text file back in when the program restarts or reopens. The best and easiest way I have found to read in the file is to place the text file with in the Resources and use this code.
Dim ReadingIN As String = My.Resources.Mytext
So then I want to be able to change that string and then write it back out. Part of the problem is I want to be able to use this from a flash drive or a changing directory.
I have tried but it doesn't work
Dim WritingOut As String = ReadingIN + "Edited text"
Dim DirString As String = My.Resources.Mytext
If System.IO.File.Exists(TemperString) = True Then

I'm writing an application for my Smartphone (OS is WM6 pro .NET Compact framework 3.5). Up till now i used VB6 so i'm pretty new to VB2008.
The application needs to store a set of items in a text file located on the device and retrieve them back. Since WM 6.0 doesn't support MS Access databases i have to work with the old fashion text files to store and retrieve my data. However since i'm new to VB2008 (and given the limitations of writing a smartphone application) I would llike to know how to write and read data to and from a text file.
