I have multiple controls on my form. Text boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, etc. Is there a way to move through every control on the form and save it's value, status ? Like whether the radio button is checked, or not. The value of the text box, and save them all to a text file. Then, reload the values saved in the text file in the same sequence. Without doing all this one line at a time.
View 2 RepliesI am looking for a way to save and load the values of all my controls present in my form.My form has around 100 controls spread over 7 tabs. The controls include (Multiline) TextBoxes (Strings), NumericUpDowns (Integers, Decimals) and Checkboxes (Booleans). If the user clicks the save button a "Save File" dialog should appear allowing the user to specify the directory and the filename of the save file.All the values of the controls should then be written to that file.If the user clicks the load button an "Open File" should appear where the user can pick a previously saved save file. All the controls should then adopt the values found in the save file.I have implemented Application Settings in my form, and now when I click save, it saves the control values through My.Settings.Save(). If I click load it loads them.However, my project requires that multiple save files can be made to reflect multiple configurations. As I understand Application Settings only allow for a single .config file in the Application Data folder.So how can I code a save/load routine to save/load different configurations?
View 1 RepliesI've been literally googling for an hour now trying to find how to save variable settings to a file.I'm writing an application and I'm using alot of changeable variables. I want to be able to save these to a file so they can be loaded at application startup. I don't feel like using the regestry since I hate to write unimportant things to the registry.I remembered that I found a good example with simple code of how to do this with xml, but I can't seem to find the example now.

View 3 RepliesI have a form with a couple of multi-line text boxes, a couple of radio buttons, and a couple of check boxes. When the form is closed I need to save the values of the textboxes, radiobuttons and checkboxes so their values will be retained next time the form is open. I've done this in VB6 on form open and form close, but I cannot get the same module to work in .NET
Here was what I used in 6.0 to save:
Sub SaveFormState(ByVal SourceForm As Form)
Dim A As Long ' general purpose

lets say I have a form (form1) with lables a-z which are all designed with default text "0". So they all show 0 on program startup. which is fine. I also have a dialog with 2 TextBoxes; I want my program to update the default text/value on (only)form1 labels x, y and z to whatever was put into the textboxes when i press the OK button on the Dialog, so these specified labels show the 'new' value on next startup. Is it even possible or should I save the values to a file which loads the values in the specified labels on startup?

The insertion part of the form works great. But my problem is in the form load part......If i leave a field blank(Null),then perform Save operation,close the form after successful insertion and then reopen the form,then it retains the previous values during the form load......This is only in case where i leave a field blank in the previous data entry in the database.......But if i enter values in all fields then form load is working great.
I am upgrading user control from vb6 to vb.net.In the vb6 application I am loading 3000 labels using a label control array.In vb.net I am doing same but it's taking too much time to load.In vb6 it's taking 1-2 seconds, but in vb.net it's taking 30-40 seconds for same work.

View 9 RepliesI have been playing around with Visual Basic for about a week now. I created a program that I use at work basically just to organize my day.
The program consists of buttons that link to programs and spreadsheets that I use often, as well as a checklist of tasks I've completed and text boxes that I use for reminders. Other buttons affect GroupBox texts and Label texts.
What I'd like to know is how I can implement a Save and Load button? I'd the current state of the program to be saved so it can be loaded in the event that I have to shut the program down. (Check boxes checked, Text in Text boxes, Labels, etc...)

It's a game that continues for a long time and isn't done in a hour, so it is pretty annoying that if the player re-opens the game he has to do everything over again. So, does anybody know how I can make a save/load system? Like that on the first form of the game there is a "Save" and "Load" button. If the player presses the "Save" button, the program automatically saves the progress of the player in a file somewhere on the harddisk of the player, and if the player presses "Load", the program automatically loads the file he saved, so the player doesn't have to start all over again.
