VS 2008 Saving/loading Dates Tips&tricks Conversation?
Jul 14, 2010
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'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.
I am trying to Save a Form In My.Settings Then Be able to close the Application Then Open it and Have all the Forms. I need to Save and Load Multiple Forms At a time. I also need to be able to remove one of the saved forms when it is closed before the
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:
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)
I have road runner (time warner) as my telephone service. I'm pretty sure you can't just go making free calls through the internet via custom software or every half-intelligent programmer would be making free phone calls.I would like to know if there is a way to make an outgoing call (on the same telephone line that your handset uses) and have a vocal conversation with someone on the computers microphone/(headphones/speakers) devices.
I have a VB2008 programme that accesses and stores data in a MS Access (XP) Database. I also live in the UK and am use to our funny old ways with dates (today is the 5th April 2010 so I want the Short Date as 05/04/2010 not 04/05/2010)
I am using the following code
Dim d1 As DateTime = DateTime.Now (#04/05/2010#) Dim why As String = FormatDateTime(CDate(d1), DateFormat.ShortDate) which is 05/04/2020 UpdateRecord("latest", why, "backups", (index value in the table)
The last line runs an SQL query to update the table column latest to the date today but whatever I do to get the date as 05/04/2010 it is saved as 04/05/2010. I have tried setting the culture to "en-GB" at the start but this does not work. It does not matter if the latest column is in Date/Time or String format
I have a rather straightforward question.How to I get a DataGrid in WPF to save/load raw XML files and have the ability to display/edit them with other controls? The application will only work offline so I won't need SQL. Just simply open, edit and save data to XML.
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?
I've been looking into the SaveFileDialog and OpenFileDialog features, but have been failing to implement them. The actualy program that I would be implementing this in is much larger, so alternative methods are welcomed.
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.
like when i close a program, i want it to save its location (i guess to the registry, idk) and then when it loads, i want it to load back where it was.this is what i have so far. it saves to the registry ok, but it doesnt load where it should. also, my button1 click is what saves the location for now, but this code is just a test app for this.
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.
Dim comp(maxsize) as ccircuits[globally declared] Const maxsize = 50 Structure ccircuits
I need some help with this project I'm trying to get my program to load and save data to an online database and I haven't been able to find anything that helps me to much, I have the working code for a local database but this program will be being used to multiple people for our business I want everybody to be able to add data, delete data, and such as necessary...
Here is the code i have for opening the file on my local machine
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|data.mdb;")
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.
What would be the best way to load and save a multi-dimensional array (of bytes). I've looked through streamreader tutorials but it always seems to instructions on how to save strings. I also know there's a very easy way to save a one-dimensional array, but it doesn't work on multi-dimensional ones. What should I be reading up on?
I want to load images into a picturebox, save them into a database and display them again in the picturebox. This is the code I'm actually having problem with:
Private Connection As String = _ "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=C:UsersclientDocumentsVisual Studio 2008ProjectsSavingsLoansCalc.mdb" rivate Sub UploadButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UploadButton.Click [Code] .....
I'm getting this error message: "Type 'Connection' is not declared" On this line: oConn = New OleDb.OleDbConnection( _ New Connection().getConnectionString)
How can I combine specialized string collections so that I can accomplish this :
-Save all the tab's texts from a tabcontrol -Save contents of the tabs : eg.Every tab contains a label and I save the text of each label
And the real problem: -Loading them when the program opens
I have made some thoughts about saving them, but not about loading them setting.TabNames.Clear() setting.TabLabels.Clear() For Each item As TabPage In TabControl1.TabPages Dim name As String = item.Text setting.TabNames.Add(name) [Code] .....
I've got a textbox using a custom auto complete source, which gathers info from what the user has previously typed. Problem is, I can't figure out how to have that source saved when the application closes and loaded when the application opens.
I am quite new to VB.NET and I am attempting to create a console application that can write, save, load and edit sets of data. Lets say I have something like this:
[Code]...
However, I have no idea how to load the data so I can manipulate it in the EMPLOYEE structure system. I am not sure if I have made my question clear enough, for as you can see I'm quite new to programming and am not essentially familiar with the terms of speech.
Is it possible to create a kinda virtual storage in a vb application so that data created during run time are stored right in the applicaion instead of its environment?
I'm trying to build a music player app. I want to have it set up so the user can choose your own background from picture files on your computer. The code I'm using to save the registry file is:
Private Sub MusicPlayerForm_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing My.Computer.Registry.SetValue _ (m_strKeyName, "BackgroundImage", Me.BackgroundImage) End Sub
The file is saved and I can see it when I use the regedit. The problem I'm having is loading the file. Currently I have:
Private Sub MusicPlayerForm_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Timer1.Start() LoadDefault()
[code]....
The error message I get is 'System.IO.FileNotFound Exception'. For some reason I don't think the files' getting read.

How do i fill my ObservableCollection(of Monitors) with data so that I can save it in an MVVM friendly manner. I normally use a FileNumber to load a DataSet using a DataAdapter and pass the monitors table via monitorDT - should I be loading it differently? How do I save the changes? Right now I have the following for loading data:
