Saving From Textbox To Txt File?
Apr 15, 2010
I am trying to save the information that I type in some textboxes to a textfile at the the moment I am using the IO.File.AppendAllText to write the information to txt file. When I press the button the information is added to my txt, but when I close my form the information disappears it doesn't save. I have tried using the SaveFileDialog but it doesn't work.
Is there a way that I can save the information that I type in the textboxes to automatically save when I press the button on my form, and make the information save to my txt file when I close my form and the information still be on my txt file when I open the form again The reason that I am using the appendalltext is because I want to add information to the txt file not replace the information that is already on the txt file

I want to make a button to save the contents of a textbox to a text file.
However, I want to create a popup screen so I can select where to save it and as what file name like the picture below.
Is there an easy way of doing this or do I need to create another form to do this.

Sub SaveDocument() Dim outputFile1 As StreamWriter 'Object variable
Try'Create File outputFile1 = File.CreateText(strFilename)

I made a query for inserting a value from text box to MS ACCESS db
sql = "INSERT INTO Equipment (port_number,display_name,equipment,tonnage,user_privilage) VALUES (" & CLng(txtPort.Text) & ", '" & CStr(txtDisplay.Text) & "', '" & CStr(txtCA.Text) & "', " & CLng(txtTonnage.Text) & ", '" & CStr(cmbUser.Text) & "')"
Actually I meant for inserting the data entered in the text box, but now saving is the code itself i,e; in port_number column 'CIng(txtPort.Text) ' will be saved

I have a form that display's 5 text boxes for student names. Each student names has 5 text boxes to the right of it, the text boxes to the right are for 5 test scores to be inputted. I need to save the values of every one of the text boxes to 2 array's that are declared in a Basic Module, (this is my first application that uses multiple forms) but the values need to be saved not when a button is pressed, but when the user changes the text in the boxes.

My windows form as a bunch of textboxes on it that basically let the user put in different positions/forces that a test cycle then uses. I am trying to let the user save their profile settings/open the settings so they don't have to input the same values every time they want to run the same test. Here is my code so far. basically, when i save my csv file, and open it, all 6 textbox values are plopped in the first textbox instead of being distributed to their original boxes. I just read about a "split" function
code
Private Sub SaveProfileToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveProfileToolStripMenuItem.Click
SaveProfileDialog.ShowDialog()
Dim sw As StreamWriter

Okay, that snippet made the file I was trying to open in the %USERNAME%AppDataLocal folder worked perfectly, again, many thanks - But now I'm 3/4 of the way through my program, and I've hit a wall - I have the exact same program I made in VB6, and it works to perfection, but I am TRYING to switch over to .NET, and am finding a lot of difficulties in getting certain things to work - My biggest headache right now [ Which is basically the finishing of my program ] is a bit hard to explain, so this may be a rather long post: One of my programs that I use to keep track of my Music hard drive outputs to an XML file, in which there is one line I would like to be able to 'Replace' through the program I am making now to a different user-defined string, and close [ Applying string change/save ] the XML file. I have my Main Form, a TextBox1 [ I can't get the XML to open in a ListBox like I wanted ], TextBox2, a 'Locate String' Button, a 'Modify' Button, and an Exit Button. I open the XML file with this in my Form1_Load event into my TextBox1:[code]
The <DateValue> is the line I want to be able to modify [ Which the entire string looks like this: <DateValue>2010-04-10T10:00:03.5009756-04:00 </DateValue>, and I want to be able to change the date and time to whatever the user specifies ], which once the XML is loaded into TextBox1, when the 'Modify' Button is clicked, that string is then loaded into TextBox2... This is where I am lost - How can I apply the modified string to the TextBox1.Text [ Entire XML file ], and save it upon program end, without the rest of the XML lines being disturbed? I realized I needed another Button - The 'Modify' Button now loads the selected string into TextBox2, and I have a 3rd Button to 'Apply Modification', which I want to update the <DateValue> string in the TextBox1 [ Full XML file ] from the modified string in TextBox2, then save on exit - Hope this helped clarify things.So here's the routine:
1. Form loads, opening the XML file, and loading it into TextBox1.
2. User clicks 'Modify' Button to load searched string into TextBox2.
3. User modifies TextBox2 entry.
4. User clicks 'Apply Modification' Button, which changes the searched string in TextBox1 to the modified user-defined string.
5. User clicks 'Exit', which saves the XML changes from TextBox1 [ Without messing up the XML file format ], and the program ends.

The EID has a picture from the person also.I decided not to save the image directly into the SQL database, but store it in the application directory.However i cannot seem to figure out how i can save it with a filename taken from one or more textboxes.
This is what i am using right now, but as you can see it saves it as Test.Jpeg
Dim file_name As String = Application.ExecutablePath
file_name = file_name.Substring(0, _

I've got a textbox using a custom auto complete source, which gathers info from what the user has previously typed. Problem is, I can't figure out how to have that source saved when the application closes and loaded when the application opens.

I have a simple windows form application (I'm working in Visual Basic Express 2008).
There are some forms that have simple text boxes. When somebody wants to edit something in this boxes he pushes edit button and then they are enabled. I insert some text and when I save this text is saved for good.
When I reopen the application this text is there like I want it to be. Just for information, this text is always the same in one text box, until I change it (me or some other user) - so I think there is no need for databases. For my needs this is ok because I don't need to change this data often. This is code in Form load event (for calling back the data)

I am creating a shell for a FORTRAN application which reads a tab delimited text file.Because I am using Excel to manipulate data, is it possible to use the Excel Automation features to "save as" a tab delimited text file?The only method available seems to be a unicode text format, which does not work. Or is there another format that mimics tab delimited so that the FORTRAN application will read such a file without difficulty?

I have an asp page with vb.net code that will query a database and present the user with the number of records that exist that need to be exported along with a button to export them. After you push the export button, it will prompt for a location and filename. But after that, it will not refresh the page with the new counts that now exist. Or in this case update the count to zero for the button they clicked.
[Code]
So how can I tell the page to refresh with the new counts. It almost seems like I need to tell the process to wait until after the user has finished finding the location and saving the file but I don't want to add a generic threading.thread.sleep in, I want it to only wait until they are done and then refresh the page.
