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.

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'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

Basically I have a VB.net word processor application, With a;

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

how to permanently save to text files then re-open all of the information again using SFD and OFD. Now my teacher has come back at me and said that i need to be able to save the information from multiple text boxes and have the text in certain labels to also be saved into the one text file (the labels need to be done because it is a database and these labels are like the fields and the right text box needs to match the right label)

I am creating a shell for a FORTRAN application which reads a tab delimited text file.Because I am using Excel to manipulate data, is it possible to use the Excel Automation features to "save as" a tab delimited text file?The only method available seems to be a unicode text format, which does not work. Or is there another format that mimics tab delimited so that the FORTRAN application will read such a file without difficulty?
View 1 RepliesI have an asp page with vb.net code that will query a database and present the user with the number of records that exist that need to be exported along with a button to export them. After you push the export button, it will prompt for a location and filename. But after that, it will not refresh the page with the new counts that now exist. Or in this case update the count to zero for the button they clicked.
[Code]
So how can I tell the page to refresh with the new counts. It almost seems like I need to tell the process to wait until after the user has finished finding the location and saving the file but I don't want to add a generic threading.thread.sleep in, I want it to only wait until they are done and then refresh the page.
