How do I get it so that when I click a button on a windows form, it exports the text in a textbox to a .txt or .xml file. I need it to add the data to one text file, not create a new one every time the button is clicked.

I have a form with a listbox that when the form is opened I need it to display info from a file. I don't know what would be easier to work with Excel or a txt file, but it is in this format:

I would like it to populate the list box when the form is loaded, but if I have to use a button to tell it to load that is fine also.On the same form I have 4 textboxes that ask for each of the above items (name, DOB, Level, PH#) and a button that when pushed I want it to save it to the same file where the above info was pulled from in the same format.The Show Contacts button doesn't have to be used if it is not needed.

View 4 RepliesI am attempting to write a playlist for my media player which is already built. I have found a way to build a playlist for it but it would be helpful if I could save the contents of TextBox1 to a text file without using the save as. I am trying to get over a user inputting a file name for the finished text file so is it possible to write the file c: est.txt without using the save as dialog? I have found that I can use a vbs program file which creates a playlist in a folder. I save the vbs file text to the textbox then save it as a vbs file in the playlist directory, then execute the finished file to make the playlist.
View 5 RepliesI try to use VB .net to develop a small program. In this program, there has a form. In this form, there have several text box and toolbar. The problem is after I input text into textbox and I do not press <enter> key, I go to click save button in form's toolbar. I found that this textbox's data cannot save into database. If I press <enter> key after I input text into textbox, data can save into database properly.
View 5 RepliesI have a tool connected to access database. It retrieves the database based on certain input conditions from 4 textboxes, 1 list box. The data from database comes to a datagridview. I have to enter certain values in a particular column in datagridview and continue with my calculations.At this stage I wan to save my file with the data I have entered so far. Is there a way i can save this data into another file (for example say " SAMPLE"), so that when I open the SAMPLE file from my tool it should display all the values I have saved in the respective controls.
View 1 RepliesI am currently puting together a data driven application just for fun and to get to know sql. The problem i am having is on my new customer form I cannot get the data in my text boxes to save into my database table at runtime. I simply have 4 textboxes and a save button the code for my save button is as follows:
Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click
Dim Connection As SqlConnection = MSDB.GetConnection
Dim mySqlCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand
Connection.Open()
[Code] ....
All this does is bring up an error in runtime. How to get that to work when I press save the details in my text boxes are actually saved into my database table.
Firstly I've the data in csv(delimeted file) that file in exponential number and need to convert to integer( for example [3.9888e+003, 1.0093e+002] ..need to convert to 3989,1009). how to convert it in vb2008.
then send it to datagridview
I've the data in Datagridview (2 column - wavelength, absorbance) and i need to display in text box based on some reference. let say my first reference (soot it has wavelength value plus minus 2000 (range 1998 until 2002), 2nd ref NO2 plus minus 1630 (range 1628 until 1632) and others ref.
Firstly the system will find the specified wavelength in column1 (datagridview). if wavelength(column1) found in that range it will display the value in the textbox (column2- absorbance). then the information in the textbox, need to be save in oracle.

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to save every time the user updates a textbox on the form? My reasoning for this is I don't want to lose all information typed into the form if they were to click on the "x" to close the form. I want the form to update whenever they type so if they forget to press a "save" button (or better yet not use a save button) the data won't be lost. I can use a textbox change event handler and code to update my dataset on every textbox in the form but it seems tedious.

What is the easiest way to save txtbox text to .txt file? Ofc I also need to choose the folder Im saving the text file. And it is possible to save that text file "to that program" ? I mean if I wrote textfile and click a button (to save text) and restard whole application can the text be saved somehow? If this is impossible (or too hard for me^^) I also need help with loading that saved text file: By clicking button it will open that txt file I saved before.And then (In my opinion) the harder one: If I need to save more than a textbox text.. In my current program it would be good to save (by clicking button) at least labels' texts, numericUpDowns, checxboxs, etc (the data that user had given) from just one form. Not to save whole program, one form is enough. So how this? That file doesnt need to be able to read by another program (like word, excel, etc). And again, the same vice verca. I also need a button which opens that saved file. (And now my english skills came to end)but this button click must also "place the values".For example if I have clicked checkboxs 1, 2 and 4 -> saved file -> opened -> it must show those checkboxes as checked. The same with everything else too (labels, numerics..)

I have text in a textbox that I want to write to a file. I'm trying to think of the best way to do this. Would reading the text into a buffer, then writing the buffer to a file be the best approach? I'm sure there's more than one way of doing this and I wanted to see if anyone had any input on the most efficient way.

View 4 RepliesIs it possible to have a Textbox on a form that when the user inputs data, ( during Runtime )that data remains in the Textbox for good and the Textbox then becomes read only ? Is it also possible to make it so that the CD with the programme on, is in the PC when the programme is being used. Perhaps writing the Textbox data back onto the CD ?
View 1 RepliesI 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?

Tag and image files. All my files are .gif files and all have the same format. However, some of my 'objects' are located at different positions on the image. I would like to store the position in a Tag and save the Tag with the file. This is what I did..

dim pathload As string = "C:\myfile.gif")
dim picViewer1 As New PictureBox
Sub graphlocationsave()

I know the data get store in the Tag, but I do not know if its not saved, or I am not retriving it correctly or if this is the wrong way to do this altogether ?
