OpenFileDialog - Reading User Selected File And Convert To XML
Jun 22, 2010
I am using the OpenFileDialog component with a Button Sub to use the text file that the user selects (it can change everyday) in the next part of my program that will read that file and then covert it into an xml format. How do I get the second part of my program to use the file selected?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamReader(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
MessageBox.Show(sr.ReadToEnd)
sr.Close()
End If
End Sub

I have a form on which the user selects a file using an openFileDialog. The selected filepath is then processed, which may take 10-20 seconds before the user is presented with the results.I'm finding that the once the user selects the file (clicking the OK button on the openFileDialog), the openFileDialog remains open until all of the processing going on in the background is completed. Once the processing has finished the openFileDialog disappears and the results are shown.The problem is that whilst the openFileDialog remains open on screen, it is not apparent to the user that anything is happening in the background. I do actually have a textbox which updates the user with messages showing the progress. However the openFileDialog hides the messages until it closes, essentially making the progress messages useless.What I'm trying to do is have the openFileDialog close immediately that the user selects a file. Then the processing can continue without the openFileDialog obscuring my form.

I have been trying to solve this for 2 days now, every text book I own and google have been well and truely exhausted and I am still no closer to solving my problems.I have a login facility reading in user info from a main user file. This takes all info into a temp array and then splits usernames into a username file, passwords into a password file and a current score in a score file.
I have the login working fine and everything else in my program works as intended but touching up cosmetic aspects I want to add a Message box after login to say hello and display current score. This works great for the first name in the user file i.e - after login User1 welcome to the game. Your current score is 45 As intended.But the problem arises with any other users, my message comes out as
User2 welcome to the game. Your current score is 55 I do not understand where the random new lines are coming from. I have tried assigning the message as a variable and removing new line using

I'm currently writing a program that needs to open a file specified by the user, replace a certain string of text with a different string of text, and save it to the user-specified path. Here's what I have so far:
Private Sub forceButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles forceButton.Click
Dim writer As New IO.StreamWriter(OpenChart1.FileName)
Replace("", "E *", "N 5 0")
End Sub

I have a weird requirement to parse a file which is a comma separated string with repeating header..i have a file which i load into database and this gets populated as a single column string with header and details data:something like this (This is single COLUMN String in a table). SSIS is not able to handle this so i am trying to know..If it is possible using writhing VB.Net custom component.[code]Also, if i can pass the values of header (i.e. header3, header5, header7 and header10) as a variable would be ideal.

So here it is : how can iI get info about the file that user selected in windows ? For example: the user browse to C:windows (it isn't important where maybe desktop) through explorer and select a file ( he/she just select it, not open ). the moment that the file is being selected, how can I get info about that file? I think the file path is enough. I can get the rest detail with path.

Here is my code: [URL]..The goal is to get file path that was selected by the user in the Form1 class, transfer it to the File class, and do various things from there such word count, syllable count, etc.However Visual Studio says filePath isn't declared in the File Class, even though right above it you can clearly see it is.

could someone give me a some sort of clue about opening nonexistant files in VB.NET?? I am learning this as I go, and I can open existing files using the OpenFileDialog box, but I cant not find an real explanation on how to create a file if it is not in existance... in other words, I want to know now to code so that when a user enteres a filename in the filename box in the OpenFileDialog and that file does not already exist then the file is created as a new file, and then opened. I have done some googleing and found all sorts of examples on opening existing files, but nothing that really gives a good explanation of how to create a new file and then open it...

way to display the name of a file in a textbox from an openfiledialog (including the file type) For example: Instead of "C:Users eadme.txt", to display just "readme.txt" in the textbox.
Edit: AND if possible, how to display the inverse, too ("C:Users", instead of "C:Users
