How To Check If Item Already Exists In TXT File
Mar 2, 2012
The following code will save an item to file over and over again, but how do I save an item only once?
Dim w As New IO.StreamWriter("E:est.txt", True)
w.WriteLine(ListBox1.SelectedItem, True)
w.Close()
If, for example, number1 is already saved in the txt file then how do I not save it again, using something like the following?
dim exist As IO.FileAccess ("e:s.txt")
if exist.that.item.is.exist= true then
w.WriteLine(ListBox1.SelectedItem, True)
[Code] .....
I am using VS 2010.

see if an object is already in a generic List(Of T) than the way I am currently doing it? The way I do it at the moment is like so:I have a method that I call each time I want to check to see if an object exists in the list (if it already exists I do not want to add it again) and the list to check is passed in to this method along with the item that should be added to it:
[Code]...
So as you can see this function just loops through the list that was passed in and if the DisplayName property of one of the items in the list is the same as the ProgramName argument that was passed in to the method as well then it returns True to indicate that this program is already in the list.I thought about using a Predicate with the List.Find method but cant see how I would get it to work because that predicate method will not have any way of referencing the list (its a method local list, not class level)

I'm having problem regarding session items. Before I use them, I want to check if they exists, but using this codes gives me error:[code]I think Session("SomeSessionItem") tries to acquire the value of the session item. If the item doesn't exists then it throws exception. But how do I check if a session item exists before using them? I have a page Home.aspx.In the Home.aspx.vb, I instantiate a WebUserControl SomeControl.ascx. Note that in Home.aspx.vb event handler Page_Load I can use a condition to check session without getting an exception.Inside SomeControl.ascx.vb I'm trying to access the session, here's where the exception occurs.

I am filling a listview control with a big number of items but i came across an problem, the repeated values. In those items i use .Text and .Tag so i can relate some hidden values per item. I have been trying to use the items.find() with no luck since it looks like to search for keys, which i don't really have. Every item has different .Tag values but it can happens that they have the same .Text Is there any way to remove or just not add items based on a .Text search in the ListView?

This is the standard way of checking if URL exists [code]....
return true; } catch (Exception ex) { return false; } But my problem is that we have to check it for around 100 URL's. It takes more then 2 minutes to check for all as it is trying to get response of all of them. Is there any way that we can check if URL exists without getting complete Response so that total response time is less.

In my code, I want to check if a referrer url exists and if the referrer url contains a specific sub string. I know how to check for the sub string:
If( InStr( Request.UrlReferrer.ToString(), "some sub string here" ) > 0 ) Then
But I don't know how to check if a referrer exists or not. No refer exists if the url is entered in manually in the address bar. So I tried this, but this does not work:
If (Not (Request.UrlReferrer.ToString() = "")) And (InStr(Request.UrlReferrer.ToString(), "some sub string here") > 0) Then
how do check if a referrer exists?

I am using Caspol.exe to install a custom Permission set and add Code Groups for my .Net 2.0 Windows Application.
I have created a Console Application that uses caspol.exe to add Permission Set and Code Groups. I first install the Permission Set and if I do not get an error, I continue to install the Code Groups
Now sometimes I need to add a new Code Group to the client machine, so I make the changes to the console app and it is executed on the client machine. If the client machine already has the Permission Set installed, it returns an error and stops the further processing.
So, I want to know if I can check whether a custom Permission Set is already added or not?
