VS 2008 Loading A Variables From A Structure In A File?
Apr 21, 2009
Im trying to load a price of an item from a prices file (Items). The variable (ItemName) is taken from a listox populated from the file on another form. And (Item) is the structure which i saved the prices information for into (Items).
What im trying to do is take the string from the listbox and change the textbox (txtCurrentPrice) text into the price for the highlighted item, which is also the name of the (txtItem) textbox.
However i cant find a way to reference the Item.(ItemName) to get the correct price from within the file, as ItemName isnt a member of the Items structure Item instance.
ChangeItemForm
Private Sub ChangeItemForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code]....
ItemName holds the name of one of the variables saved in the structure. So say if ItemName was holding "IridescentRoll" As its string I would be trying to find Item.IridescentRoll, which would show me the price of IridescentRoll which im trying to put into the textbox. and As Item.IridescentRoll = 3.35 it would display 3.35 in the textbox.
As you have probably guessed, the Item.ItemName doesnt work ('ItemName is not a member of...'
Is there any way to write this without having to create a new record for each item? As that would take a while, and im not sure i have the time x.X

visual basic 2008
I am pretty good with visual basic and visual studio, but the one problem I have is saving... I am currently creating a game, and it has a lot of variables, I want o be able to save all those variables to a text file and then re-open it later. When it is open, i want the variables to have the original value from the text document.
To sum it up: I need variables to be saved in a text file, and then be able to open the text file back and have the variables have the proper values from the text file.
I have been searching around google, and I found ideas, but I have no idea how to use them. Like using XML or saving a table with " TextFile.WriteFromTable" "TextFile.ReadToTable" but I don't exactly get how to use those (the posts weren't too clear)

I have been searching for days to get some code that will do this. I need to open a spreadsheet and read maybe 2 dozen cells into variables in a VB.Net program. Specifics are: MS Office 2003, Vis Basic of VB.Net 2008. Everything seems to revolve around the following lines which do not work for me. I am not sure if this is version differences as most ppl here do not name which version they are using. [code]Does this method not work in VB.NET 2008?

In VB6 I can open a file for binary read/write and then use Put and Get to write Type structures straight to disk and subsequently retrieve that information straight from disk and right back into the structure. The syntax is pretty straightforward, and it works fast and without flaw.
In VB.NET I've tried the same thing. But in absence of a "Type" variable, I've tried using Structure ... End Structure, which should basically be the same thing.The problem is, though we can write the structure to disk:
Dim FileNo as Integer
Dim FilePath as String
FileNo = FreeFile()
FilePath = "C:TestFile.dat"
[code]....
I need to create an extremely large and complex structure that will be used in a whole slough of ways, and when all work is done I need to write that structure straight to disk using a binary mode. When that information is needed again, I need to be able to get it back just the way it was saved and continue working with it again. The basic outline of the concept is illustrated above, which works--as I mentioned above--flawlessly in VB6.

I have a structure type, as below
Code:
Public Structure StrFolder
Public isActive As Boolean
Public NameFolder As String[code]....
I would like to retrieve and print each variable name within a given structure (not its value). For example:
StrFolder(0).Name should print "isActive"
StrFolder(1).Name should print "NameFolder"
StrFolder(2).Name should print "URLIDNumber"
StrFolder(3).Name should print "DateOfFolder"
etc..
I would also like to know each type of an item within a structure. For example:
StrFolder(0).Type should print "Boolean"
StrFolder(1).Type should print "String"
StrFolder(2).Type should print "Integer"
StrFolder(3).Type should print "String"
etc..

I am quite new to VB.NET and I am attempting to create a console application that can write, save, load and edit sets of data. Lets say I have something like this:

However, I have no idea how to load the data so I can manipulate it in the EMPLOYEE structure system. I am not sure if I have made my question clear enough, for as you can see I'm quite new to programming and am not essentially familiar with the terms of speech.

I found out that you cannot set the array size for a structure when you are making it, i.e
[Code]...
I have to fix this by making a variable with type made by Structure bullet and then redimming it, i.e
[Code]...
This means for every variable with the bullet type i create i have to redim. Is there a way i can set the size of .mesh with .capacity for every single variable created with the bullet type automatically?

I'm using a Listview in VirtualMode, so I can 'add' a lot of files almost instantly. A Listview in VirtualMode does not allow sorting, so I need to sort the data myself. The data is stored as a List of Structure (it's faster to load than a List of ListViewItem). The code below works fine, but I need to sort based on multiple variables in the Structure. Code:

I have made a program that loads files from the network and changes them. It all works great and I must say that I did not expect that I could learn some basics so fast. Any way, When I create a new project with a new form, I can create a button, and if I click on it, I can type the things I want it to do. However, I want the program to load a file on startup of the program (load some variables from files). I tried copy/pasting some pieces of sourcefile that work above the part where it start the actions of clicking a button, but that does not work. If I manage to remove all the compile errors and start the program, it still loads nothing untill I click a button. So my question is, how can I make the program do anything without clicking a button. Example, read a txt from a harddrive called test.txt and save that as a variable "computername" in the program.

Okay, I have a structure that contains numerous elements... mostly strings, one or two integers. I maintain an internal array of that structure. The structure contains ONLY data elements, no code.I want to save the data to a file. I know that I CAN use StreamWriter.Writeline()to put out a formatted string for each element in the array. But is there any way to simply open a binary output file and save each structure, one after the other? And conversely, to load the array again in similar fashion? Something similar to this in intent, though I realize the code below doesn't work.
[code]...
To repeat, I want to write an entire structure to a datafile quickly and easily, without having to save each member of each element in the array. And conversely, to read the data back in the same way for easy loading of the array.

I have several quesions about reading/writing structures from/to files.In a scenario when I open a data file having its own header and variable data fields I create a structure that represents a header consisting of 9 bytes:
Public Structure HeaderInfo
Public DataField1 As Integer
Public DataField2 As Byte
Public DateField3 As Integer
End Structure
I'm using this code for the time being:
vb.net
Public Function ReadHeader(ByVal FileName As String) As HeaderInfo Dim ReturnInfo As HeaderInfo Try Using br As New IO.BinaryReader(New IO.FileStream(FileName, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read, IO.FileShare.Read)) With ReturnInfo
[code]....
The first question is - can I fill the structure directly somehow? Some structures are very long and filling them this way will be tedious. For example, if I know the length of the structure I could read the needed number of bytes in a byte array and somehow marshal these bytes into the structure.I can use Marshal.PtrToStructure, but then I would need to get an IntPtr of my byte array. I use <Serializable()> attribute for my structure.

I just recently learned about the uses of static local variables in VB.NET and wondered about it's potential use in lazy loading properties.
Consider the following example code.
Public Class Foo
Implements IFoo
End Class
[Code].....
As far as i can see, this has a few advantages over the usual implementation, primary your inability to access the variable outside of the property, as well as not having to use an additional variable.
My question to you is: Which of those is the "right" way to do it? I know that static variables have additional overhead, but is it bad enough to create, in my personal opinion, unclearer code that can be misused easier? How much performance do you lose compared to the "traditional" method? How does it matter for small classes compared to huge factories?

Ok here we go again, im a complete beginner to coding and have started with visual studio 2008 using the .net/vb libraries, as my first project i went with an emulation application, and it went great:So now i think its time to move onto a little more advanced tech's, so i added in a combo box and i want to change how my code works, and this is where my troubles are.To start of with the combo box, i have it added to my winform and have 3 items on it 'Action' 'RPG' and 'Sim' and i have made 3 .txt files in the projects root folder with the same names. What i want to have happen is when the user selects for instance 'RPG' from the combo box the items displayed in the listbox change to the contents of the rpg.txt file. After searching around for a few hours and no luck i tried this

I am trying to load an Excel 97 single tabbed spreadsheet into a SQL server table using the OleDbDataAdapter function. From all the documentation I have found, the first parameter should be "select * from [sheet1$]". This works fine for me only if the tab in the worksheet is named Sheet1. If I change what's in the [] brackets to the actual tab name, it also works fine.

I have a Customer File, and want to serach through the customer file to find a customer. I want to be able to Load the data into an array, and then from that array into the list view. BUT i don't want all of the feilds. I only want 3 (out of a total of 7), CUST ID, FNAME, Lname, etc. When the user clicks on the searched Customer, it then displays that customer in the form.
What I am not sure about doing is loading the file into an array
Edit: The file is a .dat file. I will happily attached my form if someone requires it
