Text File Resource - VB 2008?

Jun 5, 2009

I'm trying to write an application that requires information to be saved once the application has been exited. In order to do this I have been experimenting with storing the data in text files. More specifically I've been looking into adding text files as application resources. I am using VB Express 2008 and added the text file resource through the application tab>>Resources>>Add Resource>>Add new text file. I am able to use my.resources.TextFile1 to read the text file but I am unable to write anything to it. I have tried using my.resources.TextFile1.replace and .insert but neither of those are working out. I was thinking there is maybe a read only setting somewhere, but I have not been able to find any information on this issue.

Jun 17, 2010

I would like to know how to write to a text file that is added to resources and then have it show the contents in a text box.But I would like to have it on a timer so every second it will refresh as I am trying to make an instant chat program.Also I would like to note that I want it to delete everything after all the users have closed the program.

Loading A DataGridView (or DataRepeater) From A Text File As A Project Resource (not XML)?

Feb 15, 2012

So there's lots of examples of how to do this if your text file happens to be in XML format. However, my text file is not in XML format and as it contains over 172,000 rows I'm not that keen on adapting it (it's a dictionary)! The text file has been included in the project as a resource.
So far I've got a DataGridView (could use a DataRepeater if easier?), a BindingSource and a DataSet.

The DataSet has a DataTable already defined in the designer with one column.I've managed to load the text file into a String and then create a StringReader based on that String variable, however I cannot find anyway of loading those strings into the DataTable.

Dim listWords As String = My.Resources.WordList Dim strReader As New System.IO.StringReader(listWords)
'What now???There are some examples of using OleDb functionality but all assume you're loading from a text file residing somewhere in the filesystem, not a project resource.(I'm also assuming that on building the application the resources get embedded (somewhere) rather than being accessed from [AppDir]/Resources/[filename] ??)

.NET 2008 Get Resource File As IO.Stream?

Jul 5, 2010

I am developing a VB.NET 2008 application, consisting of a main EXE application and several resource DLLs.

I need two functions for the DLL:

1) one function to get a list of all files in the resources of the DLL.

2) one function to return 'by name' a resource file as a System.IO.Stream type.

NOTE: The files will not be "Embedded Resource" (this doubles the size of the DLL), so I think cannot use 'GetManifestResourceStream'.

2008 : Get Resource File As IO.Stream?

Jul 6, 2010

I am developing a VB.NET 2008 application, consisting of a main EXE application and several resource DLLs.I am trouble with two functions for the DLL:

1) one function to get a list of all files in the resources of the DLL.

2) one function to return 'by name' a resource file as a System.IO.Stream type.

NOTE: The files will not be "Embedded Resource" (this doubles the size of the DLL), so I think cannot use 'GetManifestResourceStream'.

I currently use:

Return New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.MyFileName)

but I want it to be called by name.I am adding the resources using the VS 2008 "Resources" tab, from the My Project screen, I'm not manually editing Resources.resxAs I said before, it works with:

Return New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.MyFileName)

but I need to get the resources by name, which also works by using

GetMAnifestResourceStream

but this requires to set the resources Build Action to "Embedded Resource", which doubles the size of my DLL file.I currently use "None" as Build Action, but I can use any Build Action that does not increase the file size more than the actual resources size.

Resource File ( Resx ) Editor Not Painting / Rendering In Visual Studio 2008

Jan 18, 2010

I have Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installed and lately it is taking longer and longer to bring up a Resource File (.resx) in its standard editor. Some of the file loads up, but you can see that the screen does not paint/render it 100%.I tried doing some searching on the web and the only thing I came across was doing a edit to the GDIProcessHandleQuota registry entry from 10,000 to 20,000. This appeared to work initially, but the problem came back the next day.I am doing an extensive localization project and this is severely limiting the amount of work I get done.

I have a text file that is going to store some data in this current project. Instead of having it stored on a location on the PC (like C:Test.txt) - I wanted it to be a .txt resource of the application.Using a streamwriter isn't working when I'm attempting to write to the file. This following code runs without error however when I exit the application and look at the text resource file it remains blank instead of showing "Testing".
