I have searched on google for nearly an hour now and haven't found anything of any real use. One of the earlier projects we submitted used a similar target, and I managed to get it working fine, however I dont have the original source code with me and I cannot remember how I did it.
I believe I used a Net.WebRequest method of some sort, because I had tried using StreamReader and ended up with an URI error or something like that.

this code needs to be modified to be able to enable the user to select a file in which to store grades. The application should allow the user to write any number of grades into that file and it should write one grade per line. Then it has to be modified to allow the user to specify the location and name of the file containing grades. The application should read the grades from the file, then display the total of grades and the class average.I have it writing to the file fine, but I can't get it to read from a file.Imports System.IO ' using classes from this namespace
Public Class EnhancedClassAverage
Dim fileWriter As StreamWriter ' writes data to a text file
Dim FileName As String ' name of file to save data

I have been having some problems with my Visual Basic. In trying to figure that out, un-installing, and reinstalling, running virus scans, etc, I have lost a lot of my time to get this assignment done. I would just keep messing around with it and try to be further along, but I must move on.
We have a form application with 3 tab pages. The first tab page takes input for first name, last name, phone, birth month, and birth year in textboxes. This info is to be written to a file. The next tab page has a read button that then displays the data into a list box. The next tab page has a text box to take input for a birth month and then searches through the file and lists any file that matches that birth month.
The whole thing then needs to be serialized and deserialized.I will post what I have so far. My first question is what do I need to do to get it to read into the listbox? I have tried multiple things. None work. After the issues I had with my visual basic, I don't know if for sure it is me, (most likely), or the software.For the display, we are supposed to use an overloaded ToString method in another class. Do I have to use an array?
private void EnterFriendBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
friend.FName = Console.ReadLine();
friend.LName = Console.ReadLine();

I thought you couldn't run an EXE from a web page, you had to download it. How can it be that ClickOnce lets you choose online-only? Does it temporarily install the EXE on the users computer?
If I want my application to run online only and I use the publishing wizard in Visual Studio, how do I get the whole install thing onto my website?
