VS 2010 Saving A File With The SaveFileAs Dialog
Mar 6, 2011
I could find on using the SaveFileAs Dialog control would get the part where the code should be to actually write the file to disk, and there would be this comment:
'insert code to write file here
or something similar. So anyway, I thought this might be of use to someone else in a similar situation. This is what I came up with to finally "save" a file with the SaveFileAs Dialog. In this situation, I wanted to save the current document of the WebBrowser1 control via the SaveFileAs Dialog when the user clicked the btnsave button...
Private Sub btnsave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnsave.Click
Dim saveFileDialog1 As New SaveFileDialog()
[Code]....

Is there any way I can get around of the apparent issues of using the basic file saving dialog to at least allow another way to save files from my program?What I am talking about is possibly a way to be able to drag something from the program to somewhere on the PC saving it there. I know of a few possible ways to get this done already but the ones I know of aren't exactly great, I could stick with the basic save file dialog but it's a bit slower than you could likely do with simple drag & drop file saving, while then I have to do my own code so files that are allowed to be named to have the special characters like "?" which aren't allowed in filenames in windows will be replaced with different characters instead.

Whenever I modify a file in the IDE in Visual Basic Express 2008, and then press the "Save" or "Save All" button, the "Save As" dialog opens, then says that a file of that name already exists and requests confirmation of the save. This didn't happen in Express 2005 as far as I remember.

For my program I've developed the code so that when I click a button a textfile automatically opens without the dialog and shows in the textbox;
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:ContactsCornwall.DOOS"
If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME)
TextBox1.Text = objReader.ReadToEnd
objReader.Close()
However, can this be done for the Save function aswell, so that when I click Button 1, the file automatically saves to C:Cornwall.DOOS instead of having to use the Save File Dialog

I have an assignment due this week in which I have to make a app that has 5 buttons and a picture box. When each button is clicked it has to show the corresponding picture in the picture box, the fifth button closes the app.
I have the whole form set up the way it should be, but I have no idea how to write the code to make the buttons display the images and close the app.I have the images in a folder within the project folders.
I have yet to be able to find one, the one I found should how to do it using a file opener dialog and a folder browser dialog but that is not what I think my prof wants us to do, as that is more for a picture viewer app that lets the user choose the file of the image they want ot view.
All i want is for the buttons to be linked to specific photos that are part of the application itself and have them open.

I am having trouble saving a class to a file via Serialization. I am getting this error:
Type 'System.Drawing.Graphics' in Assembly 'System.Drawing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' is not marked as serializable.
I have changed the:
Public Class cJigsaw
to:
<Serializable()> Public Class cJigsaw
The next line in my class is:
Public img As Bitmap
I tried adding the <Serializable()> attribute to this code, yet it has this error:
Attribute 'SerializableAttribute' cannot be applied to 'img' because the attribute is not valid on this declaration type.

I'm a novice, messing around with input boxes in VB 2010 Express. I know most programmers recommend not using input boxes except for the simplest things, but what I'm doing IS the simplest thing. Besides, I'm really just experimenting for the sake of learning.
I want a few input boxes to appear, one at a time. Let's say there are six input boxes in this project. The user can input anything he wants in each input box. After the user has entered text into the six input boxes, the program should write the text to a file. This is the part I'm having trouble with. [Code]
I haven't figured out if title.input is correct or not, or if I need something instead of commas in between each item. And the headers (i.e. the "First Name" stuff) needs to be added in there also, but I need to get the syntax of the code right first before getting to that.

I am trying to create a console application that allows me to read the contents of a text file and saving the data by specific name in a set of files. For example, the text file I am going to read is a tab delimited file. Some content of the file includes full name, school, location, and whatnot. I want to save the content by school name in a set of files that have the school names. In this case, everyone that attends "Central" will be saved in a file named Central.txt.Everyone that attends "Central Park" will be saved in a file named Central Park.txt.These are the sub procedures I came up with so far:
Readfile()
'Use StreamReader
WriteFile()
And I think I am on the right track of reading the text file:
Dim objStreamReader As StreamReader
Dim strLine As String
'Pass the file path and the file name to the StreamReader constructor.

i need to save an array of intptrs as a part of a structure in a file, vb.net gives me "File I/O of a structure with field 'pList' of type 'IntPtr' is not valid." error, ok i figured and tried to convert them to integers and while it worked for other singular intptrs it did not for the array as it just throws me a conversion error. I then tried rebuilding the array in the new sub of the save structure and while that sorta worked(i think) it then gives a "bad size" error when saving. Im out of ideas, saving the array elements one by one would be suicide as the amount varies and is well in hundreds,

I'm making a simple little program. It's going to save the image in the clipboard (from pressing Print Screen) to the folder that the .exe is in. My problem is trying to find out how to save the image file with a user-specified name, such as "Image", then adding numbers to it. So it would be like Image_00001, Image_00002, etc. I would like to make the name be specified using a textbox (pretty easy). I know how to get it to save as different image formats and all, and I know how to get it to save as a hardcoded name in a hardcoded location, but that it isn't what I'm aiming for. If you've ever used the screenshot function of Fraps or MSI Afterburner, then that's basically what I'm trying to make here.
I've already searched these forums and did some Googling, but couldn't find anything that I was looking for. Not even a sample program with something like this. I found something in the CodeBank, but it's all the stuff I've already gotten implemented.

I recently made a simple pseudo-encryption program that changes each character into another. It is capable of encrypting and decrypting a string. This can also be done to any text file as well. The characters range from ASCII 32-254 (This on it's own may be an issue because of #127 being DEL).
Because I believed my own coding may be at fault, I attempted this with Triple Des with identical results.For Triple Des, the requirements for en/decryption was:
Encrypt: String to Byte
Decrypt: Byte to String
And to change them either direction, I used UTF8. I also attempted ASCII and UTF32, but I don't know what I should do. I am considering dropping this but I want to learn problems like this because I am currently in college and haven't started my core classes for programming yet and want the head start.
The point where I have come into a problem is attempting to do this to another file type like an image. I looked at the results from encrypting then decrypting and the results were similar, but it seems file encoding must be the culprit.

The object is to load an image into a picturebox, then save a new copy of the image in a different location, but with the height and width of the image box not the original file's height and width but I can't figure it out. I've got the loading and saving working no problem but getting it to adopt the new size is stumping me, it just keeps saving with the original file's size properties

I need a code for the open file dialog that if a file is not supported then a message box appears stating the error. This is my open file dialog code. [code] The message box pops up like it is suppose to, when you click ok the open file comes back up like it is suppose to. When you put in the correct file the message box comes back up again. Also the message pops up even if the correct file is put in the open file. but if you close the file dialog the image is where it is suppose to be.I believe the code for the public sub wrongfile is what is the problem. can some one look it over and let me know what changes are needed.

I'm using the FileSaveAs dialog control to allow the user to select a filename to save a file either as a doc file, an rtf file or a pdf file (that part was easy).However, after a bit of testing, it seems that the file extension doesn't automatically change when selecting the different file types.If the filename in the dialog is Foo.doc and I select FileType *.pdf and click "Save", my app still tries to save the file as a doc type.Virtually every other MS app automatically changes the extension to match a selected file type from the Office Suite to Paint. here's my code:
Dim dlg As New SaveFileDialog
dlg.InitialDirectory = m_sReportFolder
dlg.FileName = sProjectName & ".docx"[code]......
