VS 2008 Saving - If File Exists
Aug 5, 2009
How can I make it that if a file exists, it will rename it with the exact name, but with a number by it? For example, my program takes a picture and names it "screenshot." I want it to make it say "screenshot1," if "screenshot" is already used, and so on. This is what I tried, but didn't work.
Dim name as String = "Screenshot"
If File.Exists("C:This" & name & ".png") Then
screenshot.Save("C:This" & name + 1.ToString & ".png",

I haven't used System.IO before, and I'm a little stuck.I need to check if a file exists, for example C:Documents and SettingsverraineDesktopSURNAME Firstname v1.docx, if this file exists the filename has to become v2, and so on. Usually there will only be a v1, but in the case that a clients position changes we have to be able to save the new version without overwriting the old one.
How would I be able to do this efficiently? I'm uncertain to say the least. Because, if I manage to find out how to save the file as a different number, that's alright, but if that next number exists as well? I can only think of ways to do this that require a lot of code.

I feel bad to post another question, but I can't find a answer to this kind of question anywhere.I am using some text files as a database. To seperate the records I use the # symbol. I am just using the write method to do this.... so when I open the text file it's a very very very loooooooooooooooooong line.

MySQL databases exists for saving values as strings (text only). Is there any way that i could store files with the same speed as a mysql command ? I know that it depends on the file size but lets say that the file is "Avatar.jpg" 50KB... I ve tried FTP but this is not what im looking for. e.g. You want your users been able to upload a file like the [Add This Attachment] button does in dreamincode.net and you dont have any background on PHP/HTML/Javascript/ASP.NET just VB.NET and the basics of MySQL plus you dont want to use it for a website. How do you accomplish this? Something silly that ive tried was opening an image as text then update the mysql server with that text but it didnt work backwards after i wrote the text on the file and oppened it ...it said that the image was corrupted.

I've got a SQL Server and I need to save files somewhere and I guess I hsave two options
1. Save the file path
2. Save the file in the database.
Issues with option 1 are for complicated reasons the file path is not the same for everyone. I'm talking about saving 200-400 per month, is there any issues with saving them into a SQL Server Database that is used by internal employees only?

I am trying to use the BGW to save a DGV to excel file, but don't know how to do it correctly, specifically setting the savefile name this code doesn't work gives me:
'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred
- Make sure the specified folder exists.
- Make sure the folder that contains the file is not read-only.
- Make sure the file name does not contain any of the following characters:
Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. This exception is only raised if a debugger is attached to the process. I also tried doing the Save in the BGW RunWorker Completed event but then there is no file name. It seems I need to pass the file name the user inputs in the SaveFileDialog to the BWG WorkerCompleted event somehow

When I save settings for an application using My.Settings.Save it saves it in %AppData%LocalCompanyname. Because I don't want my app to be installed and I want it to be a just .exe file, and it leaves some files on that computer. I like it to be in my apps location. Can I change that default location?

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)

Basically iv got a form, and the fields are
"Full Name":
"Amount Contributed in �":
below the form i have a button that saves the data to a text file called 'mailinglist.txt'
So i enter the data into the fields and click the button like as follows:
Full Name: John Smith
Amount Contribted in �: 40
However..... when i go view the text file it displays John smith40, which i want a space between the name and the numeral.
Also as i want a maximum of 5 people added to the mailing list, i would like a function that lets me somehow "adds" an extra 4 people to the text file without overwriting the 1st name, and uses the same "current" form displayed to the user.
Here is the code as follows:
Public Class Form2
Private Sub TextBox2_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox2.TextChanged
