Im trying to get my program to fill out textboxes with information it reads from a database, and then save the changes to the database. Does anybody know any good tutorials of this which i could look into?
View 6 RepliesSo I'm trying out a concept tool of mine where I need to be able to read and write data from a database real easy. I've set up the form as I like and spread around different text boxes and dropdownboxes to read the data from the database. And I've got it all to work and all, but there's a small bug I don't fully understand why's there. Some textboxes don't update the text from the database.
But it seems as it only occurs if the data in the database is nothing. So the value from the last row is still hanging in the textbox and thus, clicking "Update" actually updates the value from the field from the last row, into the new row. Messing everything up.

Using Visual Basic 2008 express, I would like to access a database with 2 tables, one table (useraccounts) which has Users and Password and ID, and the other table which has information (linktable). Basically I would like to do a login form which reads from the table useraccounts and be able to create new users which will write into the database.
Another is that I have a form with a number of links which I would like to store in the table 'linktable' and it basically just gets the links from the table and straight to the form where it is used. I have tried using access or the .mdf files that visual basic has but I have been unable to find an answer for either.
I wouldn't mind using either access or the .mdf file for the database, I would just like it to work. Overall I am trying to get:
Login form which reads from database table 'useraccounts' and has a new user feature
Just a form that can read / write to the database once the save button is clicked.
Ive searched for the pass hour on how to do this. Everything ive found is for vb6 and it wont work with 08 for some reason. Here is what i am doing, and the way i want to do it.I have a login form that has a checkbox remember me. Inside the if statement (If chkRemember.Checked = true) I want the code to write the username and password in a config.ini file in this format;
[LoginInfo]
Callsign=dsfsdf
Password=dsfdsf
[GeneralInfo]
Can someone provide me with a code i can use for this? I also want to be able to read that data to.
Ok so there is an XML file for a program that already exists that stores a list of files along with other information.I need to open this file and read the file names and then potentially add files to it if they DO NOT already exist in the file.It is very important that I not wipe the XML file and have to write it from scratch every time.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to read 5 bytes from a file and then do something according to what has been read. This is my code (I'll explain in a bit what's wrong):[code...]
It reads the 5 bytes I added to the encrypted file, but I want the CryptoStream to start from the sixth value and then copy the original bytes into the decrypted file, but it gives me an error:
Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.That's why I'm trying to make it read from the sixth value and then continue copying normally, but I'm stuck.

View 7 RepliesI'm creating a simple forms application where users can enter their details and save the information to a .ini file because I needed this for a simple game profile. I've tried to make it write "Name =" + txtname.Text but it won't work anymore. And as well as that, I don't think It will load the text back from the ini file.
Here's the code I used;

Dim hFile As Long
Dim sFilename As String

I need to read a value (and possibly adjust the value) in HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall key on both 32 and 64 bit systems.I've tried accessing 'stuff' by compiling my widget as both a 32 and 64 bit app, but nothing is working. Then I came across some information indicating that this could be done from a 32 bit applicaiton using KEY_WOW64_64KEY [URL] somehow, but I can't figure it out.
1) Check the existing value of HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall{ProductGUID}DisplayVersion handling both architectures.
2) If the value <> "" And <> Our Current Version Then
3) Write the Current Version to the value mentioned in step 1.
I wouldn't think this is that difficult as I've worked with registry before, but the 64 bit stuff is throwing me for a loop.It would be nice if I could compile my app to target AnyCPU then detect where its running on 32 or 64 bit. The app could then look and update in the appropriate location.I currently am set to use .NET 2.0, but could go to 4.0 if there is something in there that makes the above tasks easier.

View 6 RepliesI have created a small game for my son and after each game it tells him his score.all I want is to write the highscore to a file and have it open each time he begins a game..so he can see what his last score was. I dabbled with all this Io.file stuff and I just can not seem to get it to write to the file..also how do I work with app path in this case? I mean when the game is done and installed the current path of the save text would change.
View 6 Repliesseeing as '.dat' files contain only what you want them to and there is no preset encryption for them etc could I write data to one by using this simple process:
1) Change file extension to '.txt'
2) Decrypt
3) Write
4) Encrypt
5) Change file extension to '.dat'
and pretty much the same for reading it. or am I thinking to simply?
I thought of the above way as i know how to write to text files already, but is this the best way to do it? or is there a better way?
EDIT: Nevermind you just write to it like a text file and encrypt/decrypt it. request lock/delete from mod.
I am trying to create a bunch of records, there will be a limited number of "Codes", about 50. Each "Code" is associated with a name from a textbox, I was trying to have it save each one when you click a button, to a .txt file.So, from the start the record will be blank, the person will go through the form, choose a number from a numerical up and down box, pick a name associated with it (both of these are mandatory and not implied). When they click the button, it will save the contents I talked about into a .txt file, say the number is #2, and the name is "Bob", the next time they try to change that value for #2, it will overwrite "Bob".

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to write a program that will read a text file, and sort of filter out some things into some new files for myself. I have a website that I like to put information such as Artists, and songs for music. My website writes the Artist, and Song I input to one file on a new line in the format of (Artist - Song). The problem is it's gotten massive! I want to start organizing my artists, and songs anyway I come up with but I don't even know where to begin. To narrow it down I want to go into the file grab the artists name before the (-) and then write it to one file. After that I want to write everything after the (-) which is the songs to a different file. What file reading, and writing method should I use? As you might be able to tell I'm quite the noob.
