VS 2008 System.IO.StreamWriter Data Corruption?
Sep 26, 2009
I have a problem with an application I have written. To keep it simple, it does heavy math calculations. If the results meet a specific criteria, it is written to a text file on a line-line-basis.The problems is, if I go look at the data files, I will find non-numeric symbols mixed in with the numbers. Sometimes it is a question mark, "?". Other times, it is control or extended characters that Notepad or Wordpad cannot display. They can be mixed into the numbers, like so: 215x7 or 8948x, where "x" is the odd character. I thought the problem may have been my use of "DataFile.Flush". I removed that, but still have the corruption.
Below are my declarations and code fragments:
Dim Number as ULong
Dim DataFile As System.IO.StreamWriter
DataFile = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter(FilePath & fName, False)
DataFile.WriteLine(Number)
The first time I had a problem, I thought it was my use of "Cstr()" in the WriteLine statement, with "Flush" as I stated above.I do not know if this is a situation internal to VB2008, or external, like hard drive buffers writing.

I'm facing this peculiar problem since the past two days and now it is driving me nuts.I initialize a StreamReader from a MemoryStream object. When I move the seek pointer to beginning, the first time it is OK, but from 2nd time onwards I see an extra bad character at the beginning of stream that obviously should not be there.This doesn't happen with StreamReader initialized with other constructors like directly passing filename etc.I constructed a small program to demonstrate this. I added 2 buttons to a form and this code. When I run this code, clicking Button1 shows extra character at the beginning of string after ResetSeekPointer() function has been called at-least twice. This doesn't happen when I click Button2

I made my own advanced networking system which uses System.IO.Streamwriter and Streamreader but offline. I would like to let this use a directory online, I have a webhost available for that, now how do I say to the program it has to look at a specific map with all the users information?
I now have already this into my login form:
Private Sub btnLogin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLogin.Click

Just curious if I can let my network grow out international instead of pc. Also I have a second question. I made a create account page which is supposted to make a text file with the txtUserName and txtPassword inputs, but it does create the file, but doesnt write any lines into it.
Code here:
Private Sub btnCreate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCreate.Click

I am taking in two html files and creating one out of them. To do this I am opening the first html file and not writing out the closing </body> and </html> tag and opening the second file and not writing out the corresponding opening tags, as well as the <style></style>section. I start a streamwriter, and write the lines out to it, and then close the streamwriter. My problem is that the output file is filled with strange characters. I've tried opening the streamwriter with different character sets as the third parm, but all this does is change the characters to different strange characters.It says charset=windows-1252 at the tops of the input files (and the output files for that matter - since I'm just reading stuff in and writing it out - with the exceptions mentioned above).Questions;First, do you think I am properly approaching appending two .htm files together?Second, how can I eliminate these strange characters.

I am trying to perform a simple bound connection between an Access database and a text box on a form. This is actually Chapter 18 of the "Microsoft Visual Basic 2008" book.I get the same error message when trying to create my own project "MY ADO Form" or the "ADO Form" project supplied from the DVD provided with the book. I am running the 90 Day Trial Version of Visual Studio 2008 with SP1 and Net 3.5 SP1.
My operating system is the 64 bit Version of Vista with all updates.The error when I try to run the application in the debug mode is:"A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Data.dll"and as a result no data shows up in the text box from the database and the data selection bar is grayed out in the form. The underlying database "Students Data Set" appears to be fine as I have seen the correct data for the fields "Instructor" and "PhoneNumber" prior to running the program and when connecting with the database.

i need help with stream writer, i can get it read lines and stuff like that but now i need Streamwriter to write to a colour.txt file (already populated with data) and insert a line that isn't already in the file, into alph order eg combobox reads and displays list from txt file.
their is a colour thats isn't in the text file, so i would like it to take the colour from the combobox that was typed in by the user and place it into the colour.txt file in alphabetical order (these are car colours so their are 100's and 1000's per manufacturer, its not as basic as i want red blue black lol) i was able to find loads of data about streamreader but not so much about stream writer

Basically all I need is my program to write a character(Ex: "1") in a certain position specified by me in a line in a textbox.
So so far my code is:
Dim sw As IO.StreamWriter = IO.File.AppendText("101.txt")
sw.Write()
And all i need to know is how i pick the position that the .write function writes.

I'm creating a text file and, among other things, I need to write the text of the parent and child nodes of a TreeView to the file. I know how to write the contents and read them just fine, but what I can't seem to figure out is how to write the contents if I don't know how many parent nodes or child nodes there are. When I do, I usually do the following:

I am coming across a lot of odd and annoying problems in this program and have almost had enough lol.
I cannot figure this one out for the life of me. I have used streamwriter a hell of alot of times and never once experienced this. But basically I have a string array and I need to write the entire array to a text file with a new line for each array item. So I have gone ahead and done this:

However the outcome is the text file only contains 1 line and that line is the last item in the array yet I know the array has got at least 50 items in it.

Okay, this actually relates to some work I'm doing that I already have something in place. So if a change is necessary down the road, I'm in no hurry... But I did a dangerous thing and began reading. As I began reading about ways to stream file data, I became curious as to when it is a good idea to one method or the other.

I am using the Streamwriter to send simple messages to other machines in my office. But i hit across a problem today which i never thought about. If the computer im sending the message to, doesn't have the listener running, the sender crashes out. Is there anyway to trap the error, and deal with it nicely (i.e a message box) instead of the app quiting?

I'm getting a problem when writing text files using StreamWriter. The files read fine and they write fine if I'm not overwriting an existing file. They also write ok as long as I'm not writing over a file that only has one digit at the end of the name. For some reason when there are 2 digits at the end it crashes when I'm trying to save over an already existing text file. Here's my code.
StringForTextFile = "C:" & Folder4PS & "" & IDCodewDashOrN & "Series" & Series & "ScreenNumber" & ScreenNumber & ".txt"
LblTesting.Visible = True ' Testing
LblTesting.Text = "StringForTextFile = " & StringForTextFile
[code]....
above but 've tried all the different Encoding possibilites. Unicode, UTF32, UTF8, UTF7 as well as without those parameters listed where the close parentheses is right after StringForTextFile. I get the same result. If I'm writing a new text file that doesn't exist, then no problem or if I'm writing over an existing text file but it has 0 to 9 at the end then I'm ok but if I'm writing over an existing file and there is 10 or above(haven't tried triple digits or all values) then my application crashes. You see the test label in the code above because I was looking at exactly what file it was trying to overwrite and it is just as it should be.
Should I be using a different procedure? An example of a string that would cause a crash for the string StringForTextFile would be:
C:Name of My AppSeries1ScreenNumber10.txt
If it was being written for the first time then no problem or if the 10 at the end was 0 to 9 then no problem also. I've also tried and originally had it set up where there wasn't an If File.Exists(StringForTextFile) = True Then statement. It just always used the same code whether writing or overwriting and I wasn't having a problem that I remember. For some reason I started having a problem recently and I put the alternate methods of writing in.

Do While rdr2.Read()
Dim var1 As String = rdr2.Item("Week").ToString
Dim var2 As String = rdr2.Item("L1").ToString
Dim var3 As String = rdr2.Item("L2").ToString
It generates the following error: A first chance exception of type 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
Interestingly, if I use a numeric value for the variable it for LSArraytemp, it writes to the database no problem at all.
