I'm having some trouble using resource files. In my project I'm using a bunch of bitmap files and two txt files. Bitmaps are used as backgrounds for controls, but .txt files I want to open in Notepad or WordPad. Till now I was accesing them from a file path on my machine:
ControlName.backgroundimage = New Bitmap(direcorypath & "/Map.bmp")
Process.Start(direcorypath & "/Instrukcje.txt")
And it worked fine. Now I added these files to my resources (it's practical for me to have them in executable file) And replaced those lines with:
ControlName.backgroundimage = New Bitmap(MyProject.My.Resources.Map)
Process.Start(MyProject.My.Resources.Instrukcje)
For bitmap it works fine, but for txt file an error occurs saying that a file cannot be found.
Interestin thing is: when I type "MyProject.My.Resources.Instrukcje" in "Watch" it shows the content of the file. So it is there, only not as a file?
Currently, I've used System.IO.StreamWriter to write items to a text file. However, what I have are items separated by a Writeline(). Meaning, the items are displayed in several rows, in a column. But what I want is a single row, with many columns, separated by commas for each item. Example of what I want: 16/8/2010,100,you
vb.net Dim psBattery As PowerStatus = SystemInformation.PowerStatus Dim perFull As Single = psBattery.BatteryLifePercent Dim Now As DateTime = DateTime.Now
[code]I'm trying to make it when the button is clicked it opens the txt file that is in the resources.Any idea on how to fix? I keep getting this error.Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Byte'And another question I had was, How do I get it to open lets say...Open the txt file IN it's own folder?
I am trying to write login page code for the login button but can't find how to find a string in a .txt file. The only code I have managed to find on the subject is opening up the text file with the
FileOpen(1, "File location", OpenMode.Output) code, but even this would be best removed as it would open the text file containing all usernames and passwords within the file.I need the system to search for a specific string within a file ( Usernames___Passwords.txt (159bytes)Number of downloads: 134), and with that string find the password associated with it (in my attached example the letters/words after the apostrophe) but stopping at the end of the line.
I am trying to open an Excel file using the following commands:
xlsWB = xlsApp.Workbooks.Open(filename, , True)
where 'filename' is the name of the file.However I am getting the following error message:
Message = "Old format or invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))"
I originally developed an application where I used the above code with default language setting of "English" (under regional and language settings). When I am changing the language setting to "French", the above errror comes up. I am changing the language setting to French in order to simulate an error when this application is run in a French version computer.
Suppose I have this Dim proc As Process proc = Process.Start("Notepad.exe", "C: est.txt") Now, if I want to use Notepad.exe to open another text file (ie. C:2ndTextFile.txt) without closing it, how am I going to do it?
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??
So I'm in the final stages of finishing a program I've been working on for nearly a year now, and this is basically my final hurdle. The Save dialogue is working beautifully, with 'flags' in order to switch it over from the regular input into text boxes to the Listbox input protocol.
However, I'm having a *** of a time getting it to take lines from the text file and put them in the proper text box. Here is an example file:
Quote:
SHOWNAME CALLNAME BREED
[Code]....
So with the sample file I provided above, in the textbox named callNameText would appear "SHOWNAME", and so on and so forth. With this build, I get a NullReferenceException on the "Me.Controls(strboxNames(i)).Text() = strAllText(ati)" line.
ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source='" + fileName + "'; Extended Properties=Excel 5.0" Dim ExcelConnection As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection ExcelConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ConnectionString)
Error occurs on line ExcelConnection.Open()External table is not in the expected format.
I have found that i can add some resources as images and i could use them using my.resources.now i want to know how can i use the same way to save something to a text file in the resources and then load the saved text.
I am trying to write the contents of a listbox to a txt i want included inside my projects installation files (so it wont need admin privileges to change it)The code im using at the minute is
Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing 'UPDATE TXT FILE AFTER CLOSING Dim i As Integer[code].....
However it will not populate the file upon closing the program! I get an error, how would i go about populating it correctly,,,
I have a program that can save user's input into a text file and load it back, but whenever I try to open the file and exit without selecting the file I get an error.(if i select the file and open it i don't get any errors).
This is the code that handles text file loading: Private Sub Button4_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "C:" OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files ONLY (*.txt) | *.txt" OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
[CODE]...
The error is :"FileNotFoundException was unhandled. Could not find file at xxx". also I would like to know how to make it so that the initial file name for file saving is today's date. I do not get any errors when I try to save the file.
Ok what i want to do is have a user specify a directory when this for is opened and have it remembered everytime this for is open,Also i have a few buttons and whenever the user clicks on one of the buttonsa i want it to open a txt file delete everything in it and write a value that i specify
MSDN only discusses strings, images, audio, etc.. but does not cover text files.
I have a text file with about 6k lines of short strings, each on its own line, added to my project's resources and I'm trying to .add each line to a collection. I've tried about 7 or 8 things, not all using StreamReader, but I can't find documentation on this anywhere.
Here is the last thing I tried:
Dim JunkStrings As New Collection Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(My.Resources.shorts) Do While sr.Peek() >= 0
[Code].....
I just can't find the equivalent to this that reads lines from a text file out of my.resources.
I'm having a problem where instead of reading a text file from the location string, I changed it to read the text file from the resource location and it breaks my program. I've also used the insert snippet method to get most of this code, so it is safe to say I don't know what is going on. [code]
I need to be able to view another programs chatlog while it is running. this is the existing code. right now for testing it just reads the first line of file. this reads the file just fine as long as the other program isnt running but if it is running i get an error stating that the file is in use by another process. I'm using vb 2010 express.
I want to write some stats to a text file every time a person loads a page. But every once in awhile I am getting at 'Could Not Open File, Already in use' type of error. I can not 100% replicate this error it is very erratic. My code is
Public Sub WriteStats(ByVal ad_id As Integer) Dim ad_date As String = Now.Year & Now.Month Dim FILENAME As String = Server.MapPath("text/BoxedAds.txt")
[Code]....
how can I lock and unlock the file so I stop getting the erratic errors?
I'm trying to get my Applications title bar to change the text once the user loads up a file. So far I have gotten it so it will load up the File name into the title bar, but I would like it to show MicroText - OpenFileName... OpenFileName being the name of the file that was opened.
I have been working hard lately to build a database and well i have been experimenting with SFD, OFD and lately Streamwriter. I have finished and got streamwriter working as i want it to but know i need to be able to open the text file where all the data is stored into the one label, and not have certain pieces of text.I have attached a example of what the writer makes. The text which i would like removed when i open it is indented to the right
I am new to opening files and using "StreamReader", when I try to open up a file it displays all of the numbers as 0 instead of what they are, and I am not sure where my mistake is.Also I am pretty sure I did not do saving right either..Imports System.IO
Public Class ClassAverage Dim fileWriter As StreamWriter ' writes data to a text file Dim FileName As String ' name of file to save data
I have created a text editor that enables the user to create and open both txt files and rich text files.When it comes to opening files, the text files are opening fine, but when it comes to rich text they are opening like this { tf1adeflang1025ansiansicpg1252uc1adeff31507deff0stshfdbch31506stshfloch31506stshfhich31506stshfbi31507deflang2057deflangfe2057 hemelang2057 hemelangfe0 hemelangcs0{fonttbl{f0fbidi fromanfcharset0fprq2{*panose 02020603050405020304}Times New Roman;}{f34fbidi fromanfcharset1fprq2{*panose 02040503050406030204}Cambria Math;}
I am programming the Save File Dialog Box. I've got the basic code but after I save the text file that I created, the actual text itself seems to have disappeared when I open the file.
i'm having trouble opening a text file to process and order the data in it. When i try to read the first line of characters an error message occurs saying: 'Variable words1 is used before it has been assigned a value.' I dont understand what i am doing wrong when opening the file. Also, I am sorry if this is a rather basic question.
