I'm Rather new to coding, and It seems like I skipped some of the basics, and jumped in the deep end.I'm having a couple of problems, as I have an ordinary text file called "Orders", and this file stores Orders, placed by users of my program.The Users write to the Orders.txt file, 5 lines per Order, For Example :
Item Name
Item Quantity
UserName (Of user)

how to count the lines in textbox1.text (with multiplelines). I don't need to count each character. I only need to count each line from top to bottom in textbox1.text (multiplelines) and I will use Label1 to display the numbers.
example:
1-pauljaones
2-tommyperrry
3-marktoms
4-Jonessmith
5-paulwhite
Obviously this is 5 lines and that's what I need to count.

View 1 RepliesI am having a problem trying to save records in a parent / child data relation. I have to tables tblContacts & tblMember. There is a fk relation on the ContactID field. The tblContacts table is the master record. I am using a set up bound windows forms controls to do the data collection. The problem that I am having is in saving the child record. After the form is populated in both the fields and hitting the save button the items in the child record get deleted. It does add a row in the child record but only the ContactID (from the master table) and the key for the tblMember table. This program will not be using a datagrid. I did experiment with datagrids and it works well. The problem is when I try to use detail views in the form of textboxes that are bound to the bindingsource.

I can see that since the new master record incites the addition of a new row, the data is abandoned. Once there is a save done to the master / child record I can go back and modify the fields and it saves it successfully. I know I must be missing something small. I am not sure how to work around this so that the controls are read into memory and then completed in the new row. I have an example of my code:
Private Sub TblContactsBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TblContactsBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click
Dim newMemberRow As DataRow 'To create a new row in the tblMember table

I am trying to retrieve a 'tag'(Is it called that?) from an XML webpage. Once I make a post request from my vb.net app it sends a command to my online webserver and redirects me to a page that has entries that change each time. The page that im redirected to that changes each time looks something like this:
<mainpage> <id>hello</id> <random>176</random> </mainpage>
What vb.net code would I use to retrieve the id (In this case 'hello') and store it in a variable.
I have an application that gathers data from a SQL database that is used by a 3rd party helpdesk application.My application is pulling out information of the number of hours worked by each engineer for the current and previous 2 months.Also as part of this process, my application works out the target hours for each of those months.
My application has 3 groupboxes whose label is generated at runtime. My application gives the Groupbox1.text the name of the current month, Groupbox2.text the name of the previous month, and Groupbox3.text the name of the month before that (e.g. Mar, Feb, Jan).
What I am trying to do is have 2 text boxes for each month where I can enter the number of engineer holidays taken and the number of public holidays if any. I want to store these values in an XML file, and I guess they need to be stored to match the Groupbox text (i.e. Mar, Feb, Jan).
When the application starts, I need to parse that XML file and re-populate the text boxes with those number of days - BUT if the month has moved on, so that the Groupboxes are now called Apr, Mar, Feb then I want the Mar and Feb data to be loaded, and I want the XML file to be updated so that Apr is added and Jan is removed from it.I want the XML file to keep the current and previous two months figures only.
I'm trying to read data from a text file with multiple records and fields separated by tabs to store into arrays, which I later want to output into a textbox on the form. The problem is that with the code I've written, when I debug it it exits the sub procedure when it enters the first loop where the parser is reading the text file. There are no error messages, it just exits? I'm not even sure if what I've written is possible. Here's what I've written so far:

I am wondering the best way to store an object in memory that is used in a lot of classes throughout an application. We have multiple databases, 1 per customer. We also have a master table and each row is detailed information about the databases such as database name, server IP it's located and a few config settings.
I have an application that loops through those multiple databases and runs some updates on them. The settings I mentioned above are updated each loop iteration into memory. The application then runs through series of processes that include multiple classes using this data. The data never changes during the processes, only during the loop iteration.
The variables are related to a customer, so I have them stored in a customer class. I suppose I could make all of the members shared or should I use a singleton for the customer class? I've never actually used a singleton, only read they are good in this type of situation. Are there better solutions to this type of scenario? Also, I could have plans for this application to be multithreaded later.
The scenario is:
1)A large 2 dimensional array (400,20)
2)The program needs to access particular chunks(for example (0,20) to (50,20)
3)The program will open multiple files and process each into it's own 2D array (400,20)
What I have right now is code capable of creating the array, but no way to store the array so that I can open a new file and process that data into another large array. Someone mentioned the generics List(of T) might be a good way to store each new array as you could use the Add function. I have done some research on the List(of T) class but I'm not totally convinced that is the way to go. I'm just looking for some direction as I've just started on .net this year.

I have a VB2010 application that must run as multiple instances on the same PC (it is a controlling/monitoring program of several devices, each instance of the program control one device)
Of course, the same application must save its own setting in different place, one for each device. For example, if I start the application for the device 3, I have to save the setting in a place marked as "3", in this way, when I start the application for device 4 it will load the settings for device 4 and not 3.
Of course all labels and similar stuffs must refer the starting device: i.e. the mdi caption must report "device 4", and so on...
In vb6 I created a shortcut with a command line and made my application accepting command line parameters.
In this way I could start the application passing the device number too. For example "myapp.exe 3" start my application for the device 3.
I stored all settings in several INI file, each one for a device: setting1.ini, setting2.ini, setting3.ini, ....
I was wondering if in vb2010 would be a better way to do that.
1. How could I start multiple instances?
2. How could I store the settings?
I am trying to read a specific line from a text file and for some reason when I set my variable loopCounter = 1 To 5 it jumps all the way down to the word "Marty" in my text file but if I just change loopCounter = 0 To 5 it jumps to where it should be which is the letter "M" right after "25". I'm trying to get it to read "25". as this is an assignment for a VB class I'm taking. My text file is at the bottom.
Do While readFile.Peek > -1
For loopCounter = 1 To 5
readFile.ReadLine()

I use this code to read in a text file:
Quote:
Dim fileName As String = fileloc
Using reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(fileName)
While Not reader.ReadLine() Is Nothing
[code]....
THe problem is it reads in every other line.I assume its because its reading line one in the 'while' then the next line being stored during the loop....
when using stream reader to read text files how would i go about reading or referencing specific lines.so if i wanted to read from say line 2, 3, 4 or 10,11,12 in the textfile or what ever.

I'm writing a program where there are text boxes and the user can enter info and append them to a text file as well as read from the text file and view the various entries in it. The problems I'm running into are that I have a button that opens an open file dialog box allowing you to select the file, and I want to get it to open the first entry of that file in the correct text boxes. the code so far looks like this
