Reading The Contents Of A Text Box?
Jun 14, 2009
I am building a program to populate an Excel invoice template. The program works for the most part, except for one odd flaw. The program calls a module which first checks that two text boxes on a form have been completed. However, whilst the program does see when one of the text boxes has not been filled in (txtContact) it doesn't see the other (txtCustomer) even if I change the name of the text box to check it still only responds when the the other text box is empty.

I have managed to access and read a specific file line by line. If I wanted to split information by a comma or space and then sort alphabetically or numerically, how would I go about this procedure? Would I create a loop within the reading loop to parse the information?
Dim file As String = "C:Users est.txt"
Dim Line As String
If System.IO.File.Exists(file) = True Then

I am writing an application that will call a SQL Server job on all our client's systems. I'm able to execute it, and wait until it's finished. It has an output file that's save location is hard coded into the job however, and this is not the same location on all client's.
Since the job is identical on systems minus this one value, I want my code to read in the script of the job and parse out the location.I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the actual text of the job itself.
Is this possible in .NET? If so, how?

I am trying to read the file contents using
System.IO.File.ReadAllText
After reading the file contents the special charaters gets replaced with some garbage characters like "?".
To eliminate this I have used encoding along with above method
System.IO.File.ReadAllText(strFile, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)
But still it is not working.

I am having an issue with serial port timing when using it to read large flash content. If I slowly step through the code the program works as expected. If I let it runs by itself it only shows part of the result. The problem is not related to displaying the data on the form but mainly the "Serialport.BytesToRead".
Here is the code
Private Sub MemoryReport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MemoryReport.Click
Me.BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync()
'Memory_Report()
'SerialPort.DiscardInBuffer()

I have this Quiz software that lets you create online multiple choice quizzes which are great for studying (I am in grad school and I'm trying to use everything I can to learn). So the Quiz software is great but it only lets you input questions by hand, one by one. I took a look at the .xml file that the quiz program spits out and came up with the idea to try and make a converter so that I can import many questions at once. I was hoping to try and solve this limitation by doing the following:
Take a .doc that say a tutor gives us with a bunch of practice questions, and then take that into Crimson Editor, and then format it so the question is on line 1, the multiple choice answers are on lines 3,4,5, and 6, (for the next question, the question would be on line 11, and the answers on lines 13, 14, 15, and 16, and so on) and then take that saved .txt file into my program, hit the generate button, and it will spit out the .xml file, and then import that into the quiz software to generate the online quiz.
Here is an attached screenshot of my program layout so far:
I figured out how to open a text file by watching simple youtube tutorials, but I don't know how to have it generate the stuff and have it show up in the bottom text box. I know how to do the coding to convert the txt to proper xml code but I don't know how to be able to save the contents of the bottom text window to an xml file.

I have been trying to figure out how to read paragraph content which exists a heading. The heading itself is part of the table of contents. The heading will have a particular style (say Heading 1). For example: "Introduction" is a entry in Table of content with style Heading 1. I want to read content under heading "Introduction" but not any more content (i.e not content under sub headings of Introduction) I have been trying to do this using styles/style, TableofContent, Paragraphs/Paragraph,Range. Still cannot come up with a effective solution. I am working in VB.NET in VS 2010. I am using the word 2007 object model (office 2007 interop) as [URL]

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.

I am writing a simple program that will encrypt the text that is held in a text box and save it to a text file but I want it to be able to open a text file and decrypt the contents.
Ok now all the threads I have read are about reading a text file that is in a preset location.
What I want to do is open a text file that the user selects and have the contents displayed in a text box.

make a diary style application where a password must be typed in then when that is typed in it is possible to view and edit the text. I have it all working but the only problem is that I don't know how to save the text box's contents. I have read a few threads and haven't found an appropriate answer. The problem is that since it's supposed to be a diary I would like to save the text so that it may not be read, preferably not by making another file but by storing it in the program?
Here's the code I have for it so far:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Password As String
Password = TextBox1.Text
[code]....
Textbox1 is where the password is entered, Textbox2 is where the actual text for the diary would go, Button1 processes the typed in password, Button2 hides the text and clears password box, Button3 does nothing and has the text "Save" and I would like to use this button to save. Is there also an automatic way of saving?

I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.

I'm trying to read a text file that contains info like this:
ACX-101-011 , J2168
BTXR-130A-013, D6733

I want to split each line at the comma and write the left side to a textbox and the the right side to another textbox. I'm close, with the code below, but I can only post results from the first line in the file. How do I loop this and append the text results in each of the textboxes.

With this code, I tried to put the contents of a collection (Info) into a text box but it didn't work. I would be glad if someone can examine it and tell me what is wrong. (Visual Studio builds the program fine and runs it, but when I click on Button3, this comes up:

I need to scan all files on our solution (aspx, js, ascx, etc). Our solution contains 22 projects all in all. What I need to accomplish is to search for all files which contains "img=" in its content (not filename containing "img") I don't want to do this manually of course (opening and checking files one by one). How I can do this faster.

I have a webpage that is used to modify information in a database. The information is properly pulled from the database and properly displayed in their appropriate text boxes. The problem arises when i change the information and try to resubmit it to be saved. Unfortunately it never takes my edited information and reverts back to the original value that was loaded when the page was loaded.
All of the code has been tested out side of the masterpage and it is working properly so i am under the impression that it has something to do with the use of the masterpage. If my understanding is correct i cannot just do something like me.txtName.text to address an object in the content pages. So here is a snippet of the code and the portion that i am assuming has a problem.
[Code]...
The code shows the two methods that i have used to try and use findcontrol to access the text boxes. Both methods seem to locate the textboxes but once I pass the values to linksUpd it reverts back to the value that was originally loaded into the page and discards all of my changes.

I'm trying to read the contents of a text file. Everyone says it's a piece of cake, but I still get error "404 Not Found" even though the site exists.
I'm using the following:
Dim myRequest As HttpWebRequest
Dim myResponse As HttpWebResponse
myRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]") 'This does work
myRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]") 'This does not
myRequest.Proxy = New WebProxy("http://proxy address", True)
myRequest.Method = "GET"
myResponse = DirectCast(myRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
When I hit the [URL] the myRequest.GetResponse command passes the contents of the site into myResponse. However, hitting the [URL] always returns 404 even though it exists.
