Basically I have a VB.net word processor application, With a;
Rich Text Box
Header Label(as system.windows.forms.label)
Footer Label(as system.windows.forms.label)
The printing is no problem, but the problem I am having is saving the header and footer label's text into the RTF file and also loading these into the header and footer labels.
We are filling a combobox with customer names from a table. select ID, name from tbl_customers order by name The names we are filling with CMB_custom.Items.Add(RSselct("name").Value) Is there a possibillity to put the ID into the combobox? If we select a name from the combo we can get also the ID.

I am trying to create a program that will have an option to automatically log you into a couple sites when you press the Start button. I have a separate form that you can open and put in your Username and Password for each site. There is a button that when you press it it is supposed to write to a file (C:DesktopAccounts.txt) you username and password so that when it is opened again you will not have to type them again. I had it working perfectly until I added some code so that it will remember if you had the check box checked and have the text box as read only (if check box is not checked). I even tried deleting the new code but it still will not write to the file, but it can read from it if I put the information in manually.

I am using VB2005 and trying to put an application together.What it needs to do is retrieve information from a binary file, possibly alter that information, and put it back into a new file.The file is a .wav file with data appened to the end. There is an additional section at the end of the .wav file which stores xml data.I have found that if I open this in a hex editor and make a 1:1 swap on any of the bytes that the application that the file is for can still read the XML.If I tried to add or remove characters from the XML then it would not read. I located a header byte and incremented it to resolve this.
This worked as an excellent bandage to do conversions where the data always needed to be changed to the same thing.What I have been asked to do is build logic that allows for different things to happen depending upon what data is contained within the file.The method that I am currently trying to impliment is:
Read through the file with a system.io.binaryreader
Searche for a bytestream that will signal data is coming
For example:
If System.IO.File.Exists("C: est estread.wav") Then
Dim findit() As Integer = New Integer() {&H3C, &H55, &H73, &H72, &H44, &H65, &H66, &H30, &H31, &H30}
Dim i As Integer[code].....
And then extract all the data till the end of element marker "<" It seemed like there should be a better way and I was looking for some insight. If I proceed with this method, I will have to read the file one time to gather the information and then a second time to write it all out with the header modified for length.This is my first experiene with working with binary files in this way.Also,I've been experiementing with building a string and slapping it back in at the end using the binarywriter.write(string) method.I noticed that it was putting in header characters before the string.These seem to change if I change the length of the string.At one point it was d0 07. Later it became e7 07. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this header from being inserted?
I tried a for each loop to grab all of the characters from the string, convert them to a byte array and deposit the byte array into the file, but the header remained the same. When I write the byte array generated from a system.io.binaryreader I do not get this header.
I am attempting to create a program that users can create "cards" that have user inputted data. There are textboxes for each field such as Name, Location, Description, etc What is the best way to save and load this information?
View 1 Repliesi'm working on a simple program where i can enter a name and number and it will save it to notepad .txt file.

create a form with a seperate window attatched. At the moment i can open the 2nd window and save an integer there close the 2nd window and reopen it and the information is still there, but when i close the main form and reopen it the information has gone is there anyway to keep the information?
View 5 Replieswhat im trying to do and what i have done so far is probably a little backwards not sure sure how to id it any other way.when the user generates an error because a particular file doenst exist ive got my dialoge box to generate an .txt file for each file it errors on, so that the administrator can check and update missing files as an when - shouldnt be many files missing in the first place, should just be new product ranges or item just launched.what im stuck on is:
1. is there a better way
2. how do i open a .txt file and add the extra lines to it, so i re use the file but keeping the previous data.
I was wondering if there is a button that you can add that will save any data entered into my data grid view?
View 3 RepliesI am creating a save function for my program and need to save information from different form into the same line of text in a text document. I have to get the date (from vb), the persons name (on frrmDataCollection.tbName) and their BMI (its calculated on frrmDataCollection from a button so i dunno how to do this bit). I then need to put it in a text document on my hard drive (C:BMICalculator). Here is the code that I have got at the moment 1st for the conversion and 2nd for the save function.
HeightAnswer = CType(tbHeight.Text, Single) * 2
WeightAnswer = CType(tbWeight.Text, Single)
BMIAnswer = WeightAnswer / HeightAnswer
frmBMIResults.tbResults.Text = (tbName.Text & ", your BMI is " & BMIAnswer)

View 2 RepliesI have run into a problem with saving to database when running the program I am making.
I have an mdf file called prices.mdf and have set the "copy to output directory" to copy if newer setting and set this for the ldf file build action is set to content.. should it be compile or a different setting??
I access this database thru a dataset called pricelist dataset and when the program runs and you go to forms to update the prices, each form has a datagrid with the toolbar and the save icon. Mostly I followed tutorials to help me put it together.
When you run the change price menu for each part of the database, they appear to save each time u re run the program. But once you close down vb2010 and reopen it a day or so later and rerun, the new prices are gone and the old prices are being used.
I thought changing the setting on the mdf file to copy if newer is the usual fix for this, but as I said I have already got it set to copy if newer.
I can't figure out how to track what the dataset is accessing to make sure it is going to that database, or if i have made some sort of other database that it is accessing instead as well as the mdf database.
when I look at the dataset and the column entries for each part of the prices database, as to whether i need to check the dataset itself, or the forms the datagrids are on with the toolbar save icon, or whether there is another place to check to see if it needs to be changed to something like change if newer.
Obviously the program is working and doing the changes, but not storing them in the right place, so I am losing the changes once i shut down my project and reopen it.
also I have looked at the file propertiesand made sure they all set to copy if newer PricelistDataSet.xsd, pricelistdataset.designer.vb, and also the pricelist dataset.vb, xcs and xss ones are all set to copy if newer when I look in the solution explorer.butsome of the build part is set to compile on some and none for others As I am not experienced with VB 2010 or databases I am not sure how to track it down
Update: Just looked under each of the forms the data grids are on. and see the copy to output directorys on these are set to do not copy for each of the designer.vb, vb and resx. I am bit hesitant to change these without getting some advice from more experienced people if the forms also need to be set up to copy if newer.
This is what is shown in the coding on one of the forms if u double click on the save icon in toolbar

This is a module I made to write to a .txt file. Every time it adds a new line with null value. wouldn't really bother me but it adds but then something that only suppose to have like 3 lines in it ends up with 5000 over time, anyone know how to not add that extra line while writing file?
I have an array called lines() which is basically an array indicating which lines to read from a file. for example lines(1) = 0 means 'read the first line from the file', lines(2) = 4 means 'read the 5th line from the file' (counting from 0 not 1) The program first reads the file (which has a lot of random lines) so it can identify which lines match my criteria. The way I store the line positions is this:
For i = 0 to noOfLines -1 'total num of lines in file
If count = match Then 'this is my match criteria
lines(x) = i 'store the line in the array

i want the user to login, and the first thing is, having the text document for that(if theres a safer way to do it, let me know) then it goes to the weekly sales page, but theres also the goals for the sales, which rarely change, but if they do i would like them to be able to change them, then next page is the list of the workers, and if they need to i would like them to be able to add workers. so my question is: is there anyway that maybe i could save both the goals, and the workers in the text document, and when they need to change it/add workers it will save it in the text document and the next time they sign in the changes will be permanent? also is there a way to delete the user once they have been created, other than going into the txt document and deleting it.

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 have the creating INI file down, but how would I get it to read the text and then, based on the text there, make things checked/unchecked

I have been having problems with creating a download list of files for a downloader and was getting unexplained "File Does Not Exist" returns. My .avi files were returning found but but .exe and .txt files were getting the not exists.
I have now found by pulling in the whole directory and examining the file contents that my .exe files are showing ".exe.exe". My .txt files are showing ".txt.rtf". Wow, browsing the file directory in Server 2008 only shows a single extension. I don't see an option to display the extension as a column, just the "type". My directory looks like this:
Name Type
File1.exe Application
File2.txt Rich Text Document
File3.avi AVI File
I had renamed some of these files, maybe I just cannot rename files. I will try using originals ans see if I am ok. Maybe I need to rename the offending files without the displayed extensions. Is this just something weird with the server browser?
I've been asked to re-write an application that was written sometime ago by another programmer. This application reads data from a database table, massages it, and then writes out the results to a text file that is later shipped off to another company. When I run my new application, it generates a file that, according to the byte count, is twice the size of the file output from the old application. However, to look at the two files with note-pad they look identical. I found that by using 'Ultra-edit' that the new records have a low-value byte hex '00' between each real character.
