i have 6 text boxes on a form the contents of which changes depending on a list box, i also have a button which will be used to create a log file, my question is how do i write the contents of the 6 textboxes to a new text file, and on separate lines in the txt file when the log button is pressed.
EDIT: preferably also needs to use the save file dialog so user can choose file name and location to save to.
What i am trying to do is open a save file dialog and write to a .txt firl the contents of my listview. so far:

i have this, but i'm not to sure how to write to the .txt file i know i need to use a for each to loop the contents of the list view
So I managed to sync up the filesavedialog to save the contents of my textboxes to a file in a location, but how do i use the fileopendialog to read the contents from that saved file back into my textboxes?
Private Sub SaveFileDialog1_FileOk(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles SaveFileDialog1.FileOk
Dim FileToSaveAs As String = SaveFileDialog1.FileName
[Code]....
that's my save dialog. i want to bring up the saved text from textbox1 back into the textbox on my application using the fileopendialog.
EmpNoteFileName = EmpFileDir & SEmpID & ".TXT"
FileOpen(EmpNoteFileNum, EmpNoteFileName, OpenMode.Output)
txtAddEmpNote.Text = "LAST UPDATED ON " & DateString & vbCrLf & txtAddEmpNote.Text

I need the code when i write something in a textbox and when i click on save, it is save in a folder and in that folder will be the text file. How do i do that?

I decided to rewrite my project. Hit another snag. How do I write the contents from a datagrid to a file and back into the datagrid again later? (Actually, I've done the writing ok - but for the life of me can't get the data back into a blank datagrid.

I have a problem in printing
I have 8 textboxes i want to print only contents of textboxes not controls.
I need to add the contents (integers) of two textboxes and display the result in a label. I've been trying like this within a button click event:
Private
Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
TextBox1.Text + TextBox2.Text = Label.Text
End Sub
But it doesn't compile, and I dont know why. I've used arithmetic operators before, but now I'm just confused.
I have been working on a program (obviously) I have several textboxes and a webbrowser. I want this webbrowser to show a preview of what you have so far in these textboxes. Up to now I have:
For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf (ctrl) Is TextBox Then
WebBrowser1.DocumentText = CType(ctrl, TextBox).Text + WebBrowser1.DocumentText
End If
Next
End Sub
When I debug it everything is ok until I press preview. I type hello in each of the boxes. By the way all textboxes are small and positioned close together. So I type H in one box E L L O etc and i press preview. And H only appears in the preview. I press preview again then H appears Once Again.
Reading a .txt file in VB.net. My file path is C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt.
This is my line of Dim LoanOptionsFile As String = "C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt"
I can read the file when I run the program, but how do I write the file path so that someone else can download my program and file and read the file on their system?
I am writing a text editor application which uses an advanced third party text editor. This editor allows the user to set Bookmarks and use Outlining, just like the editor in Visual Studio. The output of my application is a ".script" file, which is basically just a text file. This file is read later by a game, and I can therefore not change anything to the layout of the file. It must be a simple text file.
When the user saves any document, I would like my application to also store the Bookmarks in that document, and the state of any Outlining ranges (collapsed or expanded). The editor allows me to do this by using a special Save feature, which saves the contents of the editor (the text), along with its properties, bookmarks, outline ranges, etc to an XML file. I can also load this XML file back. Now there is one obvious problem: my application should still output its documents as ".script" files, which are just normal text files as said above. Therefore, I cannot use the XML files that also hold the properties/bookmarks etc directly, since the game cannot read those!
i have my program and it does what i need it to do but when i export the contents of the text file it does not show the new line characters. it displays it in the text file like this all on one line
View 2 RepliesI'd like to use a dictionary to store the contents of an ini file. Now I know you can simply say
myArray.add("key1","value1")
myArray.add("key2","value2")
etc...
But Id like to store more information with a specific key, not just a single value, so id like to associate other values with key1 eg firstname,surname,address.
So by knowing the value of 'key1' I could retrieve the firstname, surname or address associated with it.
I know in PERL, hash arrays work in this manner
eg
$hash{'key1}{'firstname'} = 'john';
$hash{'key1}{'surname'} = 'smith';
etc....

1)How can I make my program get the contents of a .txt file on my website to tell the program to run or not?Here is and example of what I want:Say the file says "Running", the program would run without problems.If the file was to say "Unavailable", a pop up would appear saying "The program is currently unavailable, try again later." Then once the person clicked OK, the program would close.
2)How can I make the program get contents from a .txt file to get the latest version of the program, then if there is a newer version, there would be a pop up saying there is a newer version and they need to update. Then when they clicked OK, the program would close and it would open their default web browser or Internet Explorer to the update page.
I need my program to 'take a peek' into a ZIP file and see if it contains a certain file. I need it to do this many times for a large number of files, so I would prefer it without having to unzip the entire zip-file each time, as that would take far too much time (it's a fairly large zip-file of about 250 MB).Also, I don't need the actual file at all. All I need to know is if it exists inside the zip file.
vb.net
If IO.File.Exists("C:FolderIPFile.zipfolder_in_zipfile.jpg") Then
' "file.jpg" exists inside zip-file!

I am trying to move from the old ADO to the new ADO .NET . However , no matter how many tutorials I read over the internet , I still can't find a way to do something which , as I believe , has to be very simple I tried to mimic the way the graphic control did but I am missing some things ... I noticed that , in the graphic way , the wizard created 4 controls :- a DataGridView control- a DataSet control- a BindingSource control- a TableAdapter controlI recreated all of them and filled their correspondent properties , but yet I can't make it work . I think what I am missing is the connection itself . I looked on the internet and I think a connection can be made and opened like this :
Dim DataBaseConnectionMY As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
