Save / Load Control Values (Multiline Textboxes / NumericUpDowns / Checkbox) To / From File
May 30, 2012
I 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?
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.

I'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.

But Values are not coming in textboxes. What may be the reason for this?
I have 50 checkboxes for 50 american states. The user can choose all 50 or only 1( so basically any number he wants). Based on his choice, I want to insert or update the table in sql server 2008. e.g-
Color = blue and chk1=check, chk2= check and chk3 = check (chk = checkbox). now the user wants to ad 10 more states to this or remove these 3 and add 5 more. so u basically get the idea. the table in database looks like this - ID Color State_id there is a table called states, so stateid shall come from there. so how do i do a loop insert or update in vb.net?
I'm trying to make a Doctor's program where the doctor has to enter the patients detail into several text boxes (Name, Age, Address...).

I thought it could be saved in a database, or even in a text file.
Do multiline textboxes have a character limit?Someone who was using my program said that he has some textfiles that are about 50 KB and when he goes to copy/paste that data into a multiline textbox, he only gets about 31.9KB of the data.My MaxLength property says 32767, which basically matches the 31.9 KB, however, most of what I read on the internet says Multiline Textboxes can hold unlimited characters and that MaxLength is actually ignored when a textbox is in multiline mode.
I am having a bit of trouble on how to do a simple compare of two textboxes.In first textbox i have lines with values (mostly http links) In the second textbox i have lines also with links I want to compare every line in textbox1 with every line in textbox2.i would prefer TextBox1 to stay textbox but textbox2 can be a listbox or anything else.
VB For Each line In Me.TextBox1.Lines If line.Equals("i need to have every item from textbox2 here", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) Then End If Next
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?
I'm trying to save the input from the user from several text boxes into a text file, but to append to put after the last record on the next line. I've searched google and have tried the numerous ways but with no luck, and tried searching here but came up with a 502 bad error or something message.

I am using VB2008 now, couple of simple questions. 1) Is there some way to limit what my user puts in their textbox to numbers only? Or is there some way to check afterwards that the string only contains numbers and delete it if it contains anything else? 2) How to open a file, save the values of 5 text boxes into the file and then close the file?
I need to create an XML doc that I can call up and populate a treeview with. Can someone show me that basics on doing this. A simple example will suffice. Note I am not using XML-speak for any of this description. Assume I have some unknown number of Types (Parent Nodes). Each Type has a possible of Three Groups (children to Type nodes). Each Group has an unknown number of randomly names Cases (children to Type nodes). I want to create this XML file, save to a directory and the open again later to load into a treeView control.

I have a form with 2 TextBoxes that I want to be able to save to a text document like C:Data.txt. When I save to the text document I want it to continuously save. For example it when you open the text file it should look something like this:
TextBox1 TextBox2 ------------ TextBox1 TextBox2
Is it possible to do something like that? A separator is not necessary, would be nice to distinguish different saves.
I 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

Is there a simple way to save user input from MANY controls (textboxes, comboboxes, etc...) to a text file? When I say 'MANY', I am referring to at least 580 textboxes and several dozen comboboxes.
I may be able to accomplish this using the StreamWriter Class, but doing this individually would take quite a long time. I suppose I could also change all text boxes to richTextBoxes and save to .rtf. It seems like this would be even more time consuming.
Surely there is a simpler way to do this 'globally', perhaps with an added single line of code that points (and saves) to a preset or created text.txt file whenever text is added or changed in a textbox or combobox throughout the program.
I'm currently developing an editor for an AFL management sim.I want to be able to load three or four multidimensional arrays to the program, then save them to the same file. I tried the tutorial on here but got completely muddled up. Why can't it be easy like in VB6 When it was like 10 lines of code tops!
# TAG NAME = is saved to a file using the code below but when I load that same file back into a RichTextbox Control using additional code below, I get inconsistent results as I try to parse the text.

I want my app to load a .exe file specified by the user, crypt it then save the crypted .exe file on a path also specified by the user. I need some guidance on this. First of all, I am currently using IO.filestream to store the .exe file. When I save the completed file (so far in development, that means a copy of the file as I haven't added encryption yet) the .exe file appear there alright, but without the icon (it has the standard/no icon instead) and it does not work. I tried outputting it to a .txt for examination and it was a bunch of tokens as one would expect. Here is the statements:

I have a made a simple program with multiple forms and multi text boxes in each form where the user inputs text into textboxes. I would like to be able to save the data into a file and then be able to load the text from that same saved file.
