Ok so I have a combo box that lists a set of names. What I want to do is match a selected name to a text file and read from it. The text file contains the same name and has grades listed below:
ex.
Johnny Bravo

I need to to able to save multiple text-boxes and a combo-box to a text file. the thing is, when I go to save, I check out the .txt file manually and its saved all in one line, no spaces. when I go to "read" it with the 2nd part (<-----this is a 2 part Challenge) it even reads all from that one line in the text file. What i'm asking is how can I make my text-boxes saved in the text file on different lines. [Code]
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to populate a List Box or Combo Box (either or, I feel like both would be very similar in how the code is written) when you load the form. Here is what I have right now:

When you first open the program it gives you a form with either a list box or combo box (not sure which one I want to use yet) and then an add button to add a name to the list. It shows the from where you enter a name and then when you add a name it adds it to a text file that I have saved onto the desktop. It keeps the names on separate lines and I want each line in the text file to be an item in a list box...
Here is the code for the first form:
Public Class frmEmployeesMeat
Private Sub frmEmployeesMeat_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
frmHours.Visible = False

I have a program that has a combobox. It always needs to be updated w/o redownloading the program, so what I figured was best is to keep a text file on my server that lists all items that should be in the combobox. [Code] This code works perfectly for a text file on my computer, but I am needing to do the exact same thing but from a text file on my server (http:www.example.com/textfile.txt).

How to use a databound combo box to display one field in the drop down, and another as the combo box text on roll up? Using VS 2005... For example, I have a datatable that has 2 fields. One called "ShortDesc" and one called "LongDesc". I want to be able to see the "LongDesc" column values in the drop down on the combo box. When I make a selection, I want the text in the combo box to read the corresponding "ShortDesc" value.

I'm using Vb .net 2008
I could use some advice/examples to acheive the following:
I have 1 form, 4 text boxes, (textbox1 ,2, 3, 4)
Textbox1 and Text box 3 and single line text boxes.. Textbox2 is multiline.. (a description field which can be as long or short as the user desires..)
Textbox 4 is a large multi-line textbox that will contain the output of Textbox1,2,3.
I need to find out how to output the contents typed into Textbox1,2 and 3 into Textbox4 while maintaining formatting..
For example, contents of Textbox1 should always be the first text displayed in textbox4, immediately under that should be the contents of Textbox2, and under that, Textbox3
I want to ensure that the text is displayed in that order even if the user enters information into Textbox3 first.. and still displayed in the proper order if Textbox2 has 1 line of text or 20 lines of text.
How could I do this? How can I make the text from one box always be inserted before or After text from another specific textbox when its displayed in the destination Textbox.. (think of Textbox4 like a "preview window" of sorts.. which will later be outputted to an actual txt file.
Before I begin I would like to mention that I am not a noob in VB, it's just I've never had to do anything this complex before. Basically what I want is to have a program that you can load a txt file in, have it copy key words, and paste it in a textbox so I can use it later on. So in this text file, there is a bunch of info, but I am only needing a certain part. Here is an example of a text file (actually a .dat file, but is easily read):

# TAG NAME = is saved to a file using the code below but when I load that same file back into a RichTextbox Control using additional code below, I get inconsistent results as I try to parse the text. Has anyone else had this problem?'Save the contents of the RichTextBox into the file.richTextBox.SaveFile(saveFile1.FileName, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText);'Retrieve contents of File into RichTextBox control Dim logData As String
logData = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path + "\" + filenname);
I want to load a csv file (A comma delimited text file) into a datatable. I found the OdbcDataAdapter Class which looks perfect, but it says it is supported only in version 1.1 of the .NET Framework.
Is there a better way to import a csv file into a datatable? the first line has the column headers.

View 1 RepliesI've been staring at my code for a few hours, and cannot think of the next part.For my final I need to make a hangman program Pretty much I have a button to load a .txt, a label, a multiline textbox(which will be hidden later), and a normal textbox. I need the program to load the txt file, and randomly select a word. Then have the program put a " - " for every letter in that word The program loads the txt file,to the multiline textbox,but I don't know what to put next. EDIT:After looking at my book i noticed it shows how to make a hangman program, but without loading a text file. So, all I need is the code that will make it select a word randomly from the list, and i think I can do the rest..

View 1 RepliesI have a very urgent project due for Monday and I am trying to implement a very simple Windows Application for viewing files.
One of the requirements is to store the history of images accessed and provide a navigation tool for those images logged into the history.
I have been successful in logging/saving the full system absolute path to a text file. Now it is to be able to navigate through the lines.
I figured I could do this by first counting up the amount of lines in the text file after a new image has been loaded to the display and added to the text file[history] and
Then using the count on the history file of total files to either decrease or increase the number as appropriate to load into the image file the previously written absolute file paths as the new images.
I am writing in Visual Basic using VB 2008 express edition and I can't seem to figure out how to count the lines in the text file and sub sequentially manipulate the line being read to display the image.
