I have a structure in memory which is working fine - now I need to write this entire structure to a file. The below code almost compiles, the problem is that "mstaRecordInfo" cannot be changed to a string, probably because of the Date field. I've just spent over an hour experimenting and searching the web but have gotten no closer to a solution.

I'm reading a txt file into an array and then writing a new file one line at a time. The reason i'm using array is that i'm searching for a few lines that i want to find and replace.
However in my file I have some ascii characters but they aren't read well. I read something about System.Text.Encoding.Default but I don't know how to implement it in my code.

Situation: I have a .csv file containing numerical values. I'd like to read the file and write the values to a 2-D array of the same form. Problem: I get all the rows of the .csv file written to a 1-D array. Looking at the code, I thinking I have the indexing for column and row positions incrementing properly but (besides experience in C#) I don't know what I'm missing. Below is the code accomplishing this.

I am attempting to gather a group of file names from a directory. I am able to do this. I tested the code by having the list populate into a listbox and all desired items were added to the list.
Here is my code:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(strPath)
Dim dir1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.txt")
Dim dFiles As IO.FileInfo
ListBox.Items.Add(dFiles)
However, a listbox is not my desired output. I am attempting to write these file names to a text file for purposes of then parsing the information to a datatable to compare with another datatable. How to get my filenames written to a textfile.

I am writing a 2D array to a text file.Is it digital map data, so I write each row at a time, and the format is readable by my map application.I have pasted the code below. The array is called edgegridArray. Everything else is pretty obvious. I don't know if streamwriter is the best way to do things,
Dim swr As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter("D:edgeoutput.txt")
swr.WriteLine("ncols " & cols - 2)
swr.WriteLine("nrows " & rows - 1)

Okay, I have a structure that contains numerous elements... mostly strings, one or two integers. I maintain an internal array of that structure. The structure contains ONLY data elements, no code.I want to save the data to a file. I know that I CAN use StreamWriter.Writeline()to put out a formatted string for each element in the array. But is there any way to simply open a binary output file and save each structure, one after the other? And conversely, to load the array again in similar fashion? Something similar to this in intent, though I realize the code below doesn't work.

To repeat, I want to write an entire structure to a datafile quickly and easily, without having to save each member of each element in the array. And conversely, to read the data back in the same way for easy loading of the array.
Ok so there is an XML file for a program that already exists that stores a list of files along with other information.I need to open this file and read the file names and then potentially add files to it if they DO NOT already exist in the file.It is very important that I not wipe the XML file and have to write it from scratch every time.
View 4 RepliesI found the following links to fill a listview and then write it to a CSV.[URL]..And I modified the codes and created the project which is attached to this post.
The project works OK but my only problem is that when it creates the CSV file, columns are not created in excel. For example if I expect the data to be placed in A1, B1 and C1 cells, the data will all be placed in A1.

Well I'm in the middle of making a program to edit .ini files. Although I have hit a snag. I can save my settings (relies off checkboxes) with ease, however if I change something and/or hit the save button again even after the code has finished, both my entire .ini files are cleared (filePath and filePathPrefs) and all text is gone.

Well I basically know how to read a text file, replace text then write to one. how to append text after a specified string (ie, insert text at a specified line, removing the text after a string in a line and changing it without altering other lines, etc).

Can I save an array into my .bin file then read the array again just like a string or Integer??
View 2 RepliesIt would be easy enough to make my own system for this, but I'm figuring that the .NET library, being as massive as it is, probably already has a class made for this very purpose.For hit detection, my VB.NET game uses two 2D arrays that store the state of each pixel in the level. Each element in these arrays is a Byte (or, more accurately, a value of a flag enumeration type based on Byte).
Public TiHD(,) As HitDT ''//State of each pixel in the level based on
''// its underlying tile.
Public SpHD(,) As HitDT ''//State of each pixel in the level based on[code].....
I would enjoy being able to just give each sprite & tile its own 2D array of hit detection data (defining which pixels of the object are solid, dangerous, etc) that can be directly written to TiHD or SpHD at a specified offset.I'm willing to bet that .NET has a class that can do this for me.Presumably I would just have to pass TiHD or SpHD to the constructor, and then I would be able to use the object to indirectly modify the array with extended functionality (similar to using a Graphics object to modify a Bitmap). Is there such a class?

I am making the belated transition from VB6 to VB.NET (2008). I would appreciate some guidance on writing arrays to a file. I need to save and load large arrays of 4-byte floats (24 x 90,000 values is not uncommon). I can load or save them using nested for-next loops, but that's quite slow. I'd like to find a single operation that can read or write the binary data.In VB6 I could accomplish this (writing case shown) with Put #1 , , MyArray()I can read and write single variables from binary files without problems in .net. For example, [code]I have looked and looked, and Googled endlessly, but cannot find out how to accomplish a single-line numeric, floating-point array read or write in VB.NET.
View 3 RepliesI coded anything but I remember when using VB6 or Pascal/Delphi we used to define records/ structures with fixed length fields, then write those structures to a file knowing that they would always be the same length. You could then open a particular record within the file or simply find out how many records existed by reading the file length.From what I understand, it seems that such methods are depreciated in VB.NET and such structures are written as a stream.Does it now mean that we can define things like variable length strings and not need to worry about buffers or boundaries?Is it possible to read through such files and pick out individual records? Are there methods of determining how many records that exist in a file? What I'm looking to do is simply store multiple records of a structure in a file then retrieve them into an array so I can manipulate their order by sorting the array and search within the array. This is only a learning project so it is unlikely that the resultant array is going to be large, although if this is not generaly a good method of doing this then it might be interesting to fidn out what is. So far, I have read that they way to write a structure to a file is to "serialises" it and then write the bytes - is this correct?[code]
