View 1 RepliesI'm writing a VB.NET app where I want to load an internal text file from Resource. But the code shows Invalid URI: The Uri string is too long. The code is
'document.Load("C:UsersSouDocumentsVisual Studio 2010Projectsinfo.xml")
document.Load(My.Resources.info)
'some processing job with XML node ...
So, how to load the resource file ?
So there's lots of examples of how to do this if your text file happens to be in XML format. However, my text file is not in XML format and as it contains over 172,000 rows I'm not that keen on adapting it (it's a dictionary)! The text file has been included in the project as a resource.
So far I've got a DataGridView (could use a DataRepeater if easier?), a BindingSource and a DataSet.
The DataSet has a DataTable already defined in the designer with one column.I've managed to load the text file into a String and then create a StringReader based on that String variable, however I cannot find anyway of loading those strings into the DataTable.
Dim listWords As String = My.Resources.WordList Dim strReader As New System.IO.StringReader(listWords)
'What now???There are some examples of using OleDb functionality but all assume you're loading from a text file residing somewhere in the filesystem, not a project resource.(I'm also assuming that on building the application the resources get embedded (somewhere) rather than being accessed from [AppDir]/Resources/[filename] ??)
I am using the following code and I get an error that the file isn't residing where in REALITY IT IS! I know its my syntax.BTW, this directory structure I also created in the Solution Manager.
Me.rtbReader.LoadFile(Application.StartupPath & "BooksKJVNT Matthew.rtf")
I ran into another speedbump with loading a rich text format file to a rich text box. In the program the text file is supposed to load when an listbox item is clicked. I believe that the code is correct, however, the file is not loading or not displaying. After the code was changed to this I saved the program and moved it do the approperate directory and added RFT Troubleshooting Docs folder. Running Visual Basic Studio 2008.
Private Sub btnOne_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOne.Click
lstOne.Items.Add("Template")
End Sub

I need some help loading RTF files in a RichTextBox Control. The RTF file i have has a lot of textbox and some graphics. I tried several methods, but i cannot load the RTF file correctly.Here is what i have so far:

I suspect that the LoadFile method cannot read the TextBoxes in my RTF file, or maybe i'm missing something. Attached is the file i'm working on.

View 6 RepliesI cannot seem to get my image resources to load into PictureBox1.I can see all the images I added as resources in the solution explorer.They are a series of PNG files with names associated with countries.I am at the beginning stages of randomly changing the image that is displayed in PictureBox1, but I cannot even get the first image to load.Here is my code so far. When I click on Button2 I can see that my array returns a random country, but no image loads.I even tried typing in several of the countries names as well as the country name followed by png (e.g. chine.png) and again no image loads.

I have about 100 PNG images stored in a Resource. Sometimes I need to have the same images in an ImageList, but I do not want to store the images twice in my application, so I add the images from the Resource to the ImageList during runtime when I need them.
Is there an easier way to do this than having 100 lines of code, like the small example below?
imgItems.Images.Add("A", My.Resources.A)
imgItems.Images.Add("B", My.Resources.B)
imgItems.Images.Add("C", My.Resources.C)
imgItems.Images.Add("D", My.Resources.D)

RichTextBox1.LoadFile("c:pic.jpg", RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)It seems like it loads the data correctly, but the data is all wrong. I know this because when I use a packer sniffer, the data of the file that I sent is different when I sent the file manually.ou can also try RichTextBox1.SaveFile("c:pic.jpg", RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText) after the picture of the data has been loaded and the picture becomes corrupted (won't show any picture anymore)

View 5 RepliesI have just turned to using VB.net and would like to know why when I load an RTF (with tables in a 9x9 cell format) all appears in a 1x9 format...i.e. instead of loading the tables (some are side by side), they load up in series (below each other).
My simple line of code on a button is:
RichTextBox.LoadFile("c: est.rtf")
I have a resource file that I include in my shared code library that has all of my re-usable classes in it (all the resources go into their own namespace). Now, what is the best practice regarding resources... should I include them in the same DLL, or should I have a seperate resource DLL and/or are there any benefits from seperating them out into their own file.

Right now i have a line of code, in vb, that calls a text file, like this:

fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("data5.txt")
data5.txt is a resource in my application, however the application doesn't run because it can't find data5.txt. I'm pretty sure there is another code for finding a .txt file in the resource that i'm overlooking, but i can't seem to figure it out.
