VS 2008 Save File And Encrypt Or Have Unique Save Name?
Mar 19, 2009
My question is simple (the answer may not be...), What I am looking for is a way to save a file as an encrypted file (so know one can open it except in visual basic or a way to save it with a unique ending that only visual basic will recognize. I will also need to know of a way to open or load the file to.
This is going to be used in a game I am working on (and yes...I know visual basic isn't really meant for games, but it is coming together pretty well). I was originally going to have it save as a text file, but then everyone could open, read it and even change there stats. That is what this file will contain, the stats for their character, and when they load it, it will place the values into the correct spot.
I am a partial beginner or intermediate coder, I can understand code, I just don't know all there is, like saving and loading, and this is probably a little harder.

I have researched the net, youtube, and the msdn DB, and still can not find the working answer I am looking for. I would like someone to show me how you would save the contents of "Listbox1" to a .txt file using the "Save As" Option. I know how to hardcode a savepoint in, but since there will be multiple users I would like the option to be up to the end-user.

Now i want to make my Drill.txt in encrypted format to prevent anyone to open that file and modify out of program. They only can modify it through the program

so i have a quite huge program. but lets say i have one label. and i want to save that. i have the code and everything for saving the text of the label. now i want to assign ctrl+s to automatically save the labels text once pressed instead of going through a menu to choose save.this is like a regular texteditor where u press ctrl+s and it saves.
ive used this
If (e.KeyCode = e.Control & Keys.S) Then
MessageBox.Show("Ctrl+S pressed")
End If
and
[code]....
but it doesn't do anything once pressed.im also using the keydown declaration for the form.

I have a website written in .net 4. I'd like to include a save button on one the pages that will save the webpage as a mht file. This way the user can save the page as a mht file type on his/her desktop without have to use the browser toolbar.
I'm currently working with the following code but I need to modify it so it to capture the url of the current page the user is viewing verses hard coding the url into the button click event.
Partial Class Form1

I am on the last stage of my web automation form for my business and now all it wants me to do is click "Run, Save or cancel" in the normal IE download file popup. The first problem is if i click save (the option i want to do) the form crashes. The error i get is: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

I am attempting to write a playlist for my media player which is already built. I have found a way to build a playlist for it but it would be helpful if I could save the contents of TextBox1 to a text file without using the save as. I am trying to get over a user inputting a file name for the finished text file so is it possible to write the file c: est.txt without using the save as dialog? I have found that I can use a vbs program file which creates a playlist in a folder. I save the vbs file text to the textbox then save it as a vbs file in the playlist directory, then execute the finished file to make the playlist.

In a word processor of mine, I made a save and open feature, but, I'd like to improve my save feature, so that, when the user tries to save, it doesn't make the user choose the location every single time. So I pretty much want my save to do the same thing as MS Word when you try to save.

All my files are .gif files and all have the same format. However, some of my 'objects' are located at different positions on the image. I would like to store the position in a Tag and save the Tag with the file. I took a simple approach to it but its not working. This is what I did..
dim pathload As string = "C:myfile.gif")
dim picViewer1 As New PictureBox
Sub graphlocationsave()
[Code].....
My MsgBox is blank, there is no data... I know the data get store in the Tag, but I do not know if its not saved, or I am not retriving it correctly or if this is the wrong way to do this altogether ?
