The user inputs a serial number in a form, the program searches a specified text file on the internet for that serial number, and if it is there then the program runs normally, but if not it exits. I already know how to do the trial part of this program and I know that this is not secure as someone could just hack it and find the text file and read the numbers, however this is for school and is not commercial. The only thing I need to know is how to search a text file for exact text that has been inputted by the user. I've been trawling the internet and I've heard of something called instr or something, but I'm not sure.

I'm currently developing an app which essentially needs a way for me to search in a text box or file for a specific string, and extract the line on which that string appears on. It will be unique, and the syntax is the same on each line. It has basically 2 ID numbers, and is laid out like this:
123456|123456
So, I'd need to search for the first part before the |, and then get the line so I can get the bit after the |, which is the important bit for me.

i am trying to make it so that when you are typing a url into the url box on my web browser, you can click enter to search like on comercial browsers instead of having to click the actual search button, im trying to do the same with the web search(google, bing, yahoo!). it worked before, but i've added a tab system to the browser and now it's not letting me click enter to search.
my code:
Private Sub urlgo_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles urlgo.KeyDown

I'm working on my first Visual basic program and I've hit a snag. I want to make a working search form that pulls data from an access database that i already have linked into my visual basic program.
Basically when they click search, i wan't it to check the textbox (lets say firstName.text box for now) for there name, then find all the entries in my database that have those names and display them in a grid.
I have two text files, the first text file has two columns separated by a space (" ") and the second text file only has one column.
The column 1 in text file 1 and text file 2 match albeit in different order, what I'm trying to achieve is for every field in column 1 text file 2 I want to search for column 1 in text file 1 and display the matching column 2 field in column 2 text file 2.
Dim*OpenTextFile*As*String*= IO.Path.Combine("C:Test1.txt")
Dim*OpenTextFile2*As*String*= IO.Path.Combine("C:Test2.txt")

In this case GDI no longer stands for Graphic Device Interface! I have an MDI form, and the child form loads up with a single panel positioned at a specific spot so that i can have a visual studio styled menu on the left side. The square white area is the panel with the fields in it for the user to enter. The left side is a TreeView with GDI lines drawn around it that dont appear until the menu has been changed. Here's what the menu looks like when its rendered properly:
When the form first loads, you can quickly see the GDI drawings come up (sometimes) then disappear. It flashes pretty quick when you can actually see it, but until you change the menu item to another causing it to redraw, its just... gone.. Looks like this:Here's the setup:I have two labels docked at the top for the large white text with a black background
There's the treeview on the left in a picturebox where the GDI components are drawn, and a panel touching it on the right side, which is sized and anchored on all sides basically keeping it stretched to the size of the window while keeping the top and left side pinned in position so it doesnt move, keep it touching the menu on the left.
Inside the panel is 10 more panels, one panel for each menu item. Each panel is programmatically set to resize to 1024x768 and becomes visible once the menu item for that panel is clicked. The panels are all programmatically top positioned at 0 and left positioned at -1 to hide the left border stroke from having the BorderStyle set to FixedSingle. Moving it to -1 hides only that border within the panel its in.
I have dual monitors, so i began stepping through the code on one monitor with the program running on the other so i could see what its doing with each step. While going through, at one point i see the contents of the TreeView completely vanish, but all the drawn GDI stuff is there. Once i get through everything and finally hit F8 on the very last line when control of the program is given back to me because its now waiting for me to do something, all of a sudden the treeview contents re-appear and the GDI drawings vanish.
I just upgraded a project from VB 2008 to VB 2010. Before, the project did not use LINQ. I have started implementing it. So, I have updated the target framework from 2.0 to 3.5, and added a reference to System.Core, and imported the namespace System.LINQ to the entire project and also imported System.Data.LINQ into the form I'm working with (because it was not available in the list for Imported Namespaces in the references tab).
It's not throwing any errors now, but my IntelliSense is not working for LINQ stuff.
For example... I write this:
[CODE]....................
Then, if I type S. on the next line, the IntelliSense doesn't grab what it should for S (Only get Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString, instead of the options I should get like Count, First, FirstOrDefault, etc...). If I Type S.First. then its the same thing, no IntelliSense that lists the available fields for S, just the standard options (Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString). I should be seeing my column names in my table when I type S.FirstOrDefault.
So any ideas what is going on? When I type the code, for example, MessageBox.Show(S.FirstOrDefault.FirstName), it works perfectly. But it doesn't change the casing of the text (so it would read s.firstordefault.firstname) and no intellisense while doing it. But no errors. BTW - Everything works perfectly when creating a NEW VS 2010 application, it's just my projects upgraded from Visual Basic 2008 that have this issue.

The form it is on is frmMidwest.vb, the database is MarchMadnessDB, with the table being tblMidwest and the column being Username. I am trying to get it so when the user loads frmMidwest.vb it will then check the database to see if the user has entered their picks and if they have it will load their picks back into frmMidwest.vb if the database cannot find their user then it needs to add a record to the database and allow the user to enter their picks. I have already established this with
TblMidwestBindingSource.AddNew()
But if the user exists I do not want them to be able to enter another record. The primary key in the database is the username.

I'm trying to make it so one can search the title of a song:
Let's say 50 Cent - Many Men.
One hits search, and it searches certain mp3 sites for the song, collects the names of the file name to be downloaded from certain sites, drops them into the listbox, and one can right click the song title extracted in the listbox & click download or save.
I have code that is producing the end result I desire but has a few clunky issues I dont like. I'm wondering if I'm simply using the wrong control or am using the tablelayoutpanel incorrectly.The tablelayoutpanel has 4 rows and 1 column.
The rows are filled with:
Row 1: header information
Row 2: search information
Row 3: a datagridview displaying the search results
Row 4: a label for displaying messages
Rows 1, 2 and 4 are set to absolute size. Row 3 is set to 100%.What I want is to have row 2 not appear until a user clicks a button in row 1. I was able to achieve it using the following
Public Class Form1
Private _searchRowHeight As Integer = 72
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
[code]....
I want the search row to be hidden by default. To do this I am calling the ToggleSearchPanel routine when the form loads. That's minor and I could probably live with it. The other issue is that have to store the height of the panel height manually so that I can later restore the panel size. That is truly bothersome since any change in the designer means that I have to remember to also set my variable to the new height.
