VS 2010 : Read Text File And Store Certain Blocks As Variables?
Dec 24, 2010My text file is a settings file and I know I will be adding more to it in the future, right now it reads "autoplay=false;mintray=false;"I am currently using probably the most inefficient way to check both of those settings:
if contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=false;" then
elseif contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=true;" then
elseif contents = "autoplay=true;mintray=false;" true
elseif contents = "autoplay=true;mintray=true;"
endif
How can I read the file, find each word from the equals sign to the semicolon, and store each of them in a variable identified by the text before the equals sign? Something like this:
contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=false;"
autoplay = "false"
mintray = "false"
Also, how can I edit the settings in the text file without having to overwrite everything every time I save to it? For instance; finding mintray in the text file, and changing mintray to true instead of overwriting the file with "autoplay=false;mintray=true;".
This is my current

Read XML Then Put Into Variables
Jun 10, 2011I am working on a Thesis Software. Right now I am stuck and don't know what to do. My software needs to write xml files (Figured it out) and also READ XML Files then use the values inside the XML files as data by assigning the values to variables and such for the software. In essence we are using XML Files as a type of flat file database.
One of my XML files has the following structure:
<User> <Student ID="1">
<FirstName> </FirstName>
<LastName> </LastName>
<StudentNumber> </StudentNumber>
</Student> </User>
I need to be able to read the xml file and get the values inside FirstName and put it into a variable that I can use through the system(like show the firstname in a label) and the same with LastName and StudentNumber. I would like to note that there will only be one student. This particular XML file is for a Student Profile.
Also I would like to note that the location of the will depend on the programs start up location:
System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() & "StudentProfile.xml"

C# - Open A Read Only File As Non Read Only And Save/overwrite?
Sep 21, 2011I have a number of word documents I am converting. Everything is going great until I get a file that is read only. In this case I get a Save As prompt.
Is there any way to open the file in read/write format? I should have admin privileges so access isn't an issue.
I'm using VB.net to open the files. More specifically
doc = word.Documents.Open(path, Type.Missing, False, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing)

File I/O And Registry :: Binary File Primer - Read The Nth Record Without Reading The Whole File?
May 4, 2009I need to write data to a file, preferably in binary format, but I am unaccustomed with the concept. Where's the easiest place to get the basics? I could come here with a specific need, but I'm at the point right now where I am more willing to work within the confines of keeping it simple.
Here's what I know:
1. how to open a new file
2. how to specify the record length
3. how to close the file
Some specific questions:
Does the record length have to be constant throughout the file?
Can I read the nth record without reading the whole file?

Passing Multiple Byref Variables / Variables Fail To Change Calling Funct W/ Invoke

View 15 RepliesDefine Some Global Variables Of A Class - Variables Occupy Memory?
Mar 23, 2012I define some global variables of a class as follows:
Private Class MyClass
Private var1 as Decimal
Private list1 as List(Of string)[code].....
But I found that after this form is closed, all above variables, var1, list1, list2 still exist in memory. I thought they should be collected by gc since the form is already disposed as I confirmed.
Add: I have monitored half an hour after the form is closed. But these variables are not collected by gc. I have an automatic update procedure on the form which uses above variables.Since the above variables still hold values, the automatic update procedure is always called which causes exception. (One quick fix is to check if form.isDisposed in update procedure. But I do not think this is elegeant. Besides, these variables occupy memory.)

Setting Variables To Use As File Names?
Sep 10, 2009We have this current VBA program to help us with AutoCAD via the use of a template excel sheet.The setup we have created works well; however occasionally we have two drawings per folder, which often results in, two templates excel sheets of the same name, one overwriting the other. how I can set the active drawing name in a variable that our program uses to check for, then if not present that it creates a copy of out template and then saves it as the active drawings file name which was set as the variable
This would allow our program to locate the associated excel sheet by name then save it by the unique drawing name and prevent existing excel files being overwritten if in the same folder.

Private ObjWorkbook As Workbook
