i was just wondering if there was a way that i could compare data stored in a text file such as usernames and passwords with data input into text boxes in visual studio vb2008?
View 6 RepliesWhat kind of code would I need to open a text file and add a line of text at the end of a file. IE "C:UsersAdministratorDesktopfile.txt"...??? Then save it of course.
View 4 RepliesI saved a file with the extension .doc. I use the RichText to write and save the text. I did not set any encoding type when I saved it. When I tried to open the file in the Richtextbox again, I got all the formatting characters in the RTF file. How do I correct this? How do I open and re-open a .doc file in the Rich Text box control without the formatting showing up in the box with the document contents?

I am trying to figure out how to read a text file and check the value entered into a textbox to see if it already exists. Its basically a validation list.
I found some code on how to read a text file, but I do not know what to do with the information.
Sub Main()
If RadioButton1.Focus = True Then
'Check TextBox1 value against list of known part numbers

How do I compare the textbox value to a line read from the file and stop if there is a match?
Normal
0
false

This question has been most likely been asked a number of times, but really hitting a brick wall regarding this.
The issue is that at the moment, I have to create a database using text files on VB.
So far I have managed to get the code working to add new customer and browse added records, but stuck on how to output/input back and fore to a text file, to store information, and after this input/output the text file to a DB ( Not worried about this at the moment)
Public Class Customer
Dim CmrColl As New Collection 'Create the new collection. Think of this as an array of objects.
Dim itemCount As Integer = 0 'A variable to help us scroll through the objects later.

I am wanting to write an application which opens a delimited text file (either comma, pipe, colon, semi colon) and displays the file on the form. The same feature is in Excel when you import a data file. After selecting the file it shows the contents and you can choose the delimiter. Once the delimiter is chosen the data shown reflects this and updates to show the correctly formatted data.

I am very green when it comes to programming, can anyone tell me if this can be done using vb.net or should I look into using another programming language.
I'm making a custom control that needs to look like a Text Box but I can't Inherit Directly from text box since I need to add, Change and Override so many things that it would be more practical to just inherit Control and start new.
But now my question is: Is there an easy way to create the basic functionality of a Text Box like drawing the Text Box and handling input ?
What I want, is Some text fields to input text, and one image path, then I want to print that, in a format like..
Centered Text

But from everything I've read though, I'm completely lost.
I am trying to bind a textbox to a binding source (using the IDE DataBindings Editor) and it works fine except for one thing: if I delete the text I get the subject error. What I want to happen is the datarecord field be updated to a dbnull value -- how do I get that to happen?

Lets say I have 20 lines like this. I want to change this lines according to user input. So user will input how many lines they want to change in terms of row and column. In my program
Row=TextBox5.Text column=TextBox6.text
User must enter initial value for x and y. Let say the initial value is
x=1 y=1.
Row=2 column=5..
Now my lines should look like this.
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 1
1 2
2 2
3 2
4 2
5 2
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
Since I enter row=2 only two set of lines is change other lines remain unchange. But in my coding all the lines is changing like this:
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 1
1 2
2 2
3 2
4 2
5 2
1 3
2 3
3 3
4 3
5 3
1 4
2 4
3 4
4 4
5 5
which is wrong.
This is my code
Dim lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:\wirematches.txt")
Dim xValue As Decimal = Val(TextBox1.Text)
Dim yValue As Decimal = Val(TextBox2.Text)
Dim altValue As Decimal = 2.54
Dim lineTracker As Integer = 0

I am trying to input a text file of figures into a 2-dimensional array. I want to do this so I will then perform percent changes on the respective columns. The text file contains columns and then numerous rows for each columns each number is separated with a tab. The text file looks something like this.
2.2 5.5
3.7 6.3
9.2 9.1
So I need to be able to input the text file, turn it into an array and then find the total percent change. From 2.2-3.7-9.2
need an example of a console application that would allow you to input data to and retrieve data from a text file on disk.

Currently modifying a program that is being used by several staff. Each time they restart it, it starts the latest build.
I have a settings.txt file that is needed for the latest build(not on all pc's yet, original version has the settings written in the code) and updated as needed.
If local PC doesn't have settings.txt, it is copied, if it does have settings.txt it gets overwritten by the mapped copy on each run.
Wanting to let users keep their 'personalized' local settings.txt, unless I add a new feature to the program that requires a change to the mapped settings.txt file.

Is there a simple way to save user input from MANY controls (textboxes, comboboxes, etc...) to a text file? When I say 'MANY', I am referring to at least 580 textboxes and several dozen comboboxes.
I may be able to accomplish this using the StreamWriter Class, but doing this individually would take quite a long time. I suppose I could also change all text boxes to richTextBoxes and save to .rtf. It seems like this would be even more time consuming.
Surely there is a simpler way to do this 'globally', perhaps with an added single line of code that points (and saves) to a preset or created text.txt file whenever text is added or changed in a textbox or combobox throughout the program.
how do i code this. my textbox length is 5 and i input only 2 numbers and i want it to save in textfile as 5 Digit ex. i input 2 number in textbox and should be save it as 00012 how can i code this?

I have this program that validates error and then logs it in a text file,but here is the problem, I want to know how show the text file that has been made after the logs have been written,
for example, I have validated all the errors, and then creates a text file that has appended all the strings, then after my pop message, I want the text file to pop also, showing all the logs that have been created..
Basically, I want to have a text box that will display text associated with the text input.
For Example:
input : 512
output : TEXAS
or
input : 659
output : ALABAMA
I have heard that it is possible to do this, and I would like to find out a way to. Even if I need a separate text file with the arrays, I would like to get this to work.
I have a checked list box that is populated with the text from a text file. I started off with this code:
Dim FileToLoad As String
FileToLoad = TextBox3.Text
Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream(FileToLoad, FileMode.Open)
