I'm making a log for my application.I have made the log and it works.I use the streamreader and the streamwriter to save and load the data. I thought that it would be more organized to have columns inside the log.The problem is how will i save the information to the text file and load it up again so that it could organize itself again. The code that i used to make the columns.
log.Columns.Add("Task performed ", CInt((log.Width - 4) * 0.3), HorizontalAlignment.Left)
log.Columns.Add("Time and date", CInt((log.Width - 4) * 0.2), HorizontalAlignment.Left)
log.Columns.Add(" Amount of detected files(s)", CInt((log.Width - 4) * 0.2), HorizontalAlignment.Left)
log.Columns.Add(" App version", CInt((log.Width - 4) * 0.4), HorizontalAlignment.Left)
The code that i use to add the information to the log.

The problem is this: I have two forms. One form and the other form do mathematical calculations. I want to save the values that the user inputs, so when the user quits the program and then starts it up again the values are still there. But when I open up the program, start typing in values, then calculate them, hit quit. Try to open up the program again, its giving me a message that the input file is invalid. When I click ok, the program doesn't crash, continues. But the values are not there at all. The other form I put exactly the same code, just changed the variables and it doesn't want to save the values at all! I wrote this code for saving and loading the values:

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)
working with dates has always been a tricky part so let me show you how I handle dates in my application and please could you show how do you handle dates and also feel free to criticise. Normally I would create out a system to be able to save and then load a date note I am using a varchar(50) on my SQL Server db rather than datetime but I understand this is wrong, that's why I am looking for a decent way to work the dates out. My system has worked for me fine so far but if I would have to sort the dates ascending or descending I think I would get into trouble because it is saved as text.

I have 2 forms. When a user clicks something on form1, form2 pops up. After user is done with form2 and closes it (where the dataset is updated), I want form1 to "reload" the dataset to reflect changes made in form2.

View 1 RepliesI want to create a form that, when starting, will display in a ListBox the content of a txt file. I know the file is read because I can display the content in a MsgBox. Here's a snippet of what I tried so far:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim filein As String = "MyProjects.txt"
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(filein)
ListBox1.Text = objReader.ReadToEnd
objReader.Close()
End Sub
When I debug my app, ListBox1 is empty.
A button click event on my main form calls:
frmPanelSchedule.Show()
In the frmPanelSchedule form's load event I am loading 84 labels, 84 comboboxes, 420 textboxes, and 84 buttons.
The form takes a long time to load.Is there a way to speed up the loading of the form?

I'm looking to work on a project at work and I'm preparing to do my home screen of my program and I'm stuck on how to prep for all of this. I want to be able to save projects (and its not just one form that will be saved, 26 future forms to be exact), load projects, create new projects and view available projects to be selected from in the home screen. Really a very standard home screen when concerning professional programming. I'm not quite sure how to go about this or when looking ahead what might be a best practice. I haven't worked with databases, so my knowledge is limited.

Using the Microsoft VB 2008 Express program, I'm making a SWd20 character sheet (D&D) to be distributed to a few friends. It's a program where the user can figure out stats, species, class, etc without having to make any calculations him/herself.. but this will all be in vain without saving it..
So I'd love to know how I could make it so the user can save and load the entire file(including buttons, labels, text boxes, menu strips, possibly multiple forms, etc) on his/her own computer.. Is this possible, and if so, how can I go about this?
I've already searched through and found lots on saving text in the files to .txt files, but that doesn't cover everything I need
a member mentioned, xml is similar to a txt file. txt files, i can manipulate quite well. so, if this is the case, it should not be to complicated to do as the thread title describes . that, of course is, if you already know how to even create an xml file. i do not. any and all input/suggestions welcomed, links for xml noobing welcomed as well.

I am doing a project for part of my coursework which involves the creation of a series circuit designer.
I am having some trouble with the saving and loading functions; I had intended to save them to a text file with commas separating the component name and the value (if any) attributed with it.
Grid(xcoord, ycoord, 0) contains the component name. Grid(xcoord, ycoord, 1) contains the attached value (resistance or voltage- components such as wires have a value here of 0)
Once the save button is pressed, the text file contains 50 rows of "0".
P.S. Let me know if any other parts of my program are required.

what I am trying to do is get a program to load data from a text file with multiple lines in the form "Name, Type, Stocklvl, Price, Location, Reorderlvl" then display it all in a data grid. From where it can be viewed and edited as well as saved back into the original file stock.txt as well as generating a separate file reorder.txt which includes data on what needs to be reordered and the date which updates on program exit. I have chosen to use datagridview something I'm unfamiliar with as I figure It'd probably be the most functional to meet my needs of displaying a lot of data clearly as much as 200 items.
