Open / Save EXE File In Notepad Makes It Corrupted
Dec 27, 2010
I just published this simple console application that is supposed to show a textbox with the value of a setting called "userID" with value 1001. This works like a charm. Now what I need is to change this value outside the editor, from notepad etc. When I open the application a lot in there is non-sence etc. but with a quick (ctrl + F) I found the value 1001, and changed this to some other integer.
I ran the application again, and it failed, didn't even give any userful error-message. At a point I tried just opening a newly published non-corrupted version of the application, didn't change anything, then saved from notepad, and it were also corrupted. It seems like notepad can't open some characters or something. Do I need to publish the application in some specific text-unicode language or something? I use vb.net for this

I have searched, but failed to find a suitable answer to this. My small app saves a text file using a savefiledialog and stream writer. Then if successful, displays a messagebox confirming sucess and asks if the user wants to open the text file now. and this is the problem... How do I determine if the user has changed the filename and or path in the savefiledialog when saving? I'd prefer not to hard code a path and file name if possible.... but that seems like the only option? and therefore I can't show the file straight after saving reliably??

Years ago when coding with VB6 and earlier, I used a file open command to create, read, and write a file that made it easy to store useful information.I believe it was binary and you wrote/read the data to a specific line in the file. When you opened the file with something like notepad, it just showed random ascii chars. When I needed a line of data, I could specify what line to load it from.

I'm creating a notepad application with richtextbox as the editor. I have pretty much all of the funtions I want for the application itself, but I want a code that will help me understand whether it has been saved to the computer already.For example, just like in notepad, where you can open a .txt file, and if you don't modify it, it won't prompt you to save on application.exit(), but if you do modify the file in any way, it will ask you if you want to save, and it will automatically save over the opened file without popping up a savefiledialog.
I want my application to do the same thing, and also with any files that I save. For example, when I save a new file, after it prompts me with the savefiledialog, and I save the file to a directory, on my next "save" not "save as" I want it to recognize where it previously saved the file to overwrite it without prompting me with a savefiledialog like "Save As" does.There must be a code to recognize where it was last saved, or opened, but right now my default directory ("Initial directory") for both the open and savefiledialogs are set to the C:/ direcotry.

When i debug the program and open it(inapp.exe) in notepad there a line
C:UsersendroitDocumentsVisual Studio 2008ProjectsDataTypeDataTypeobjDebugDataType.pdb
Well, is there any solution or way not to include that line when debug. I know that .pdb is important in debugging, but when the app published still there's that line. Can we disable it or there's no other way.

I write text to a file using StreamWriter as shown below several times a second. The problem I have is that sometimes these files are left blank after my program has crashed or the computer has crashed. I've done several searches on the internet without any results other then writing to a second file, copying over the file and then deleting the extra file when done. If this method doesn't have any error modes it still appears to be less then a beautiful solution. (What happens if the computer crashes when writing over the original file?)Is there a more secure method for writing the text file that doesn't leave it vulnerable? This happens way too often. I never find errors related to file writing. I really want this code to be reliable enough that I could just pull the plug on the computer
Try
Dim mSW As IO.StreamWriter = New IO.StreamWriter(countFile, False)
mSW.WriteLine(CStr(totalCount))

how you would go about saving information(username, password, security questions) in a notepad, so it can be retrieved after a program closes. i'm making a log in program in my class, but we haven't done this, so when the program closes, everything is gone. rather annoying, to have to make a accounts each time i'm testing it.

I'm using the System.IO.Packaging namespace to compress a file. I'm getting an error that says 'file contains corrupted data'. So i tried using a txt file with just a few characters, and I got the same error. I read where someone said to make sure you have all streams closed and I checked this and do so I'm not sure what to try now. Here is my code.

Once a user has selected a file with the open file dialog, how can I handle this action? For example, if the user has selected a .txt file and has opened it, how can it get the data from the file? How can it return the path that the user found the file in? Then, how can it save the file?I know that there is a OpenFileDialog.OpenFile() method, but I am also pretty sure this is not what I am looking for. I have also tried the ToObject method, but I probably messed up somehow.
