Just starting up on VB 2008 Express (.NET). Trying to write to and read from a file. It runs without errors, but the messagebox only shows the 'OK' button, not the contents of the file as I want. I thought that maybe I have to rewind the file before reading, but AFAICS there is no 'StreamRead.Rewind' or Reset or something.

I have an embedded DLL in my app and I need to write it to the filesystem at runtime. I have this so far:
Dim _assembly As Assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
Dim _rawstream As Stream = _assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("MyFile.dll")
I just need to write _rawstream to a file now.
EDIT: This has to be .NET Framework 2 and CopyTo does not exist

I am trying to read a xml file (from a stream) like the one below. I need to read the xml element "recipientPhone" first,then I could read element "contents" so that I could save base64 data as file with the name coming from recipientPhone.I am using while xmlReader.read() to read the xml, is there a way that I could read element "recipientPhone" before "contents"?
xml sample:
<fax>
<clientInfo>Attachments: 2</clientInfo>
<contents><contentType>0</contentType>
<data>data1</data>

in an winForm app in VS2010 win 7 compiling to x86, I try to do what Alvas.Audio seems to work. See (c# ex: [URL] for reference.
Dim data() As Byte = wr.ReadData(second * i, second)
The result give me data.length()=0. I do not have any exception, I can read format from it and whatever reader I use I got this problem.EDIT : After some tests, it seems like the uncompressed file I create in the first step (in PCM format, with .wav extension) can not be recognized by the Alvas.audio library for the second step. I must miss something around Audio file markups or something alike.
Here is the code that might be the source (basically this is step 1):
Dim functOut As String = String.Empty
Dim wr As Alvas.Audio.IAudioReader = Nothing
Dim fs As IO.FileStream = Nothing

I am trying to make my application read data from a file. Then save the data back. However I keep getting an error which says the file is still open so cannot be edited. I also read that there is an issue with the streamreader and streamwriter do not close the program straight away. I was wondering if anyone had a way around this or any alternative ideas. Heres my code so far!

I am working on a program with multiple collections related to one another for a school project. Each collection needs to have its own defined properties and have the objects written (1 per line) to a text file.
I have all of that working.
When reading the comma-separated line from the file, I want to place one of the properties of the object in a listbox (so that all the objects' names will show up in the listbox). I think I have this part figured out...
My problem is that when you click on the name in the listbox, I would like multiple text boxes to be populated with the appropriate, corresponding properties of the particular object in the collection...is there a way for this to be done?
i have a structure of;

so basically i dont get how to read in a file then put it in the array in that structure then make it into a csv file?and whats the difference between streamreader and streamwriter?
I'm looking at an old web app I wrote and it is taking about an hour to read 4500 records from a DataTable so it can write them to a CSV file.
The DataTable contains... 376 columns
At least, I think that's what Excel's NL column converts to. I just looked up the column count now and had no idea there were so many. Our software vendor hasn't realized the value of dynamic sql statements for this process, so every software "upgrade" just keeps adding more columns rather than only selecting the ones needed. I cannot alter the SQL statement that generates the data
Depending on the data type, the data needs to be formatted in a specific format Data does contains special characters, such as commas The slow part is reading the data. Getting the data from the SQL server and writing it to a CSV is fast.
Here's the code. Forgive the mess, I wrote it back when I didn't know what I was doing and when I still was working in VB
Function ReadDataTableForCSV(dt as DataTable)
Dim sb = New StringBuilder()
Dim dataTypes As New Dictionary(Of String, Integer)

I was unable to find anything in my searches for XML or INI on the forum so i apologize now if this has already been asked and answered before.
I have been searching Google for days now, trying to find information on Reading and Writing XML files. I wish to use them to replace INI files in my programs.
I have been using VB6 for years now, but was able to get a copy of VB.NET 2003 really cheap and so i am trying to learn how to do the things i did in VB6 in VB.NET 2003.
I was able to find code to write to an INI file, but was not able to successfully read from an INI file with any of the code i found.
I have been able to find code to write an XML file, but when i try to update it, it replaces the old file with a new one, and the old settings are missing, instead of the new settings added to it.
i can at least start migrating to VB.NET 2003, or if you read XML and update XML data, i can switch now. Here is the code i have for writing XML.[code...]
I have search on google but i have just find this function SteamWriter. This fonction for writing work, but the script create always a new file... I want write under the last line.And with your fonction, how i can read it line by line for use in select menu.
