VS 2008 TextFieldParser CreateDataTable?
Feb 15, 2011
Ok so I am taking jm advice and using TextField Parser instead of ADO.net to read my delimited files and then build my own datatablesFirst question is how would I query the data?I need to be able to have two tables, one with sold propertys and one with propertys still for sale.The table I created thus far has all the records, the problem and my second question is how do you allow for a null value ?If one of the records isnt Sold then it won't have a Selling Price therefore when I set my datacolumn to be of System.Integer type It is not accepted

I use a textfieldparser to read a csv file in my app. I set the delimiter to a, Problem is, if there is a field that contains double quotes, the textfieldparser fails. So if I have Example",test. it fails. If i remove the " it works. That's quite odd. How can I fix this.

I am trying to implement a BGW and want to report progress to a progress bar for my TextFieldParser program, sometimes if your opening very large files it takes a while and I would like the user to be able to see the progress and have some interaction so they know the program is still running I am a little hung up on what to in the reportprogress
I have:
worker.ReportProgress(0, myReader.ReadFields())
and its not doing anything, I didnt expect it too since ReadFields is an array

I have a textbook loop using a TextFiledParser, which terminates when EndofData is trueTrouble is it's true prematurely. There is a knowledgebase article which decribes the issue perfectly but it only applies to V3.5. I'm using V4.0.I can't for the life of me see anything wrong with the data file, or the code. I reluctantly
MyReader.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.Delimited
MyReader.SetDelimiters(",")
MyReader.HasFieldsEnclosedInQuotes = False

It seems like in order to use "TextFieldParser " you need to include the path of the file to be parsed. Is it possible to use OpenFileDialog1 and then choose a file? I keep getting error messages.

I have tried it on my XP machine and it runs completely fine.am i doing something wrong or is it that windows 7 doesn't like to give access to the filesystem?

I'm currently busy coding a hangman game in VB.NET.As a wordlist, I have a textfile containing 1520 words, each one seperated by a new line. The best I could think of to get a random word is with a Randomize() function. Then getting the word from the line # which was randomly generated.
[Code]...
Is there any better way for me to extract the word from that random line? If not, what would be the delimiter I should use for this and how do I quickly change the breaklines into that new delimiter without resorting to Office?
Also, how can I use the textfieldparser to get the file from resources? When I tried using my.resources.filename instead of "filepath", it gave me an ArgumentException due to "invalid characters in the path".

I am having problems getting the data I need. I keep getting "index was outside bounds array" I guess I am just plain confused. The text file looks like:
First = John Smith
Last = 550 Jackson St
Street = Nantucket
City = xxxxxxx
Misc = xxxxxx

I am using the TextFieldParser to read a 3rd party .txt Tab Delimited File Sometimes the file contains duplicate column names and subsequently I cant create my DataTable.
How can I check for duplicates first and change the name of the duplicate fields so I can populate my Table?
Example:
I have two columns called ST and would like to Change of of them to ST1 or something similiar to populate my table
Dim safeFileName As String = IO.Path.GetFileName(Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
Using myReader As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser(safeFileName)

I'm using the following code to read some values in from a tab delimited text file:
vb.net
Using Parser As FileIO.TextFieldParser = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFieldParser(LogFile, vbTab)
Parser.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.Delimited
Dim comments(0) As String
[Code]...
As you can see I have set the HasFieldsEnclosedInQuotes property to true on the textfieldparser because I want to make sure I capture the data correctly if quotation marks are used. If I set the HasFieldsEnclosedInQuotes property to False then it all works (or at least it doesnt error anyway) but like I said, I need to have that set to true because otherwise if the line contained a tab character within the quote marks then my app would think this was two separate fields and process it incorrectly.

Is this class normally slow or maybe there is something in my process making it slow.I have to import 170,000 rows of data from a fixed length text file into a SQL table. It takes about 2 minutes in a DTS package on SQL server 2000. But we are migrating to a SQL 2008 server and since this code has several manual steps and does not manipulate the data I thought it would be easier to use the TextFieldParser object to handle reading in the data.
Here is the code:

I have a VB2010 project where I need to read a tab delimited 50MB file using Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser. This technique works fine until the reader encounters a Unicode character upon which it inserts the little square thingy. The obvious choice is to change the encoding of the reader to Unicode from the default. This would probably work fine but for most files but this one is fairly large and I get the error TextFieldParser is unable to complete the read operation because maximum buffer size has been exceeded. By the way this file can be read completely without the Unicode option. Making the file smaller or breaking it up really isn't an option. Is is possible to increase the buffer size or is there another way to read this data that places the data in fields like the textparser and allows unicode characters?

I am using VB.NET's TextFieldParser (Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser) to read a delimited file. However, when I try to read in a field with consecutive newlines within the field, the consecutive newlines are turned into a single new line. I would like the consecutive newlines to be preserved, but am unsure how.Here's an example file that I am reading in with exactly one field. The quotes are part of the file's content and there are three newlines (including the two consecutive newlines following line 2):
"This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 4, which follows two consecutive newlines."Here is the code that I am using to parse and read in the file:
Dim reader as New Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser(myFile, System.Text.Encoding.Default)
reader.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.Delimited
reader.SetDelimiters(",")

The end of the text document my application is reading is denoted by a character that I cant identify, copy or paste. I attached an image of it so you can see. I have no control over the formatting of the document so I can't change the character. During debugging it shows the same character as shown in the picture, but if I hit the little tack next to where the variable shows then it changes to "f". However, if I try to see if the variable equals "f" it returns false.

I am learning to use TextFieldParser to read a fixed width text data file. It works great. I copied code below. Question: How to stop at the end of each line because I need to add some code?

tf.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.FixedWidth
tf.SetFieldWidths(60, 30, 20) //three columns

I am using Microsoft.VisualBasic.Fileio.TextFieldParser to parse a CSV file that was created with Excel 2003. The parser is working great with the exception that it is converting extended ascii values to question marks! So if the file content was:
± 3
The TextFieldParser is returning
? 3
I have tried all of the encodings in the System.Text.Encoding package with no luck. I thought I had it with UTF7 but it was dropping other characters like replacing the + sign with a space.

I'm calling the following method from a button click event to export a datatable to excel. After the export is completed, the excel application object is quit, released and assigned to nothing. But in reality it's not getting released and stays active unless the entire application is closed. So every time the button is clicked for export, a new excel application object keeps on running. The problem doesn't occur if two of the lines from the method below are not used. But I can't omit them as they are really needed. Check the * marked lines.
Code:
''' <summary>
''' Exports data from a datatable to excel.
''' </summary>

i'm running Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition (latest service pack ... 9.0.30729.1 SP) on XP Pro SP3 with .Net Framework version 3.5 SP1 I have a rather large project I've imported from Visual Studio 2003 (Standard).The project compiles and runs just fine ... my compiled program itself never crashes.
But while I actually have the code up in the IDE, and simply adding/deleting code the whole IDE will randomly crash (usually without warning) and I loose my changes since last save.If/when I do get some hint of why it crashed, I get a window about illegal whitespace or something.... but that's rare ... usually it just crashes without warning and the whole IDE completely shuts down instantly. just deleting/adding a character is enough to trigger it maybe once every 30 minutes.
This is on a computer that is otherwise very rock solid .... no other program ever crashes, etc.
