Writing To A File Error?

Jul 30, 2011

I had one semester of vb.net in college and it was lacking at best. I am trying to write a few lines to a file on my desktop. When i implement the program it will actually find a file in a network share but the concept should be the same. I am basically writing a program to combine multiple csv files into a single file. I have the entire program written except combining the files. this is my code so far. it's incomplete but after i can figure this issue out the rest should be pretty easy. i will later on add parameters and all that fun stuff.

Public Sub writeFirstLine()
fileWriter = New System.IO.StreamWriter("cusersmyusernamedesktopforktruckfile.csv") 'the error happens at this line

[Code]....

I have a file already on my desktop with this name. in the actual program i will have to create it or delete it and all that fun stuff but for simplicity at the moment i just need to find the file.

at the moment it gives me an error that says directory not found. it seems to be looking for a file in the project folder instead of on my desktop. how can i get it to look at my computer instead of the file the project is held in?

Error While Writing Into Access File?

Sep 10, 2011

What i've written opens an Access database and one can read and write into it (on a table called Journal)It does indeed work for newly made Access files. However it doesnt work with a specific Microsoft Access database (again .mdb) which was made with a very old Access, like Access 2000 or something.The error message is: Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.Inside the zipped file below you will find the source code of the program, along with an access file that the program CAN read, and the one access file that i NEED the program to reed but it cannot!

To see what i mean run the program one, try to add a new line to the database. you get an error!now rename the Journal.mdb to "journal.bak.mdb. And the journal_working.mdb to Journal.mdb try to add a new line to the database again without altering the source code at all. it succeeds now!!

NOTE: the program can READ data from both files. but it CANT write data to the old access file

this is the code:

Dim cb As New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(da)
Dim dsNewRow As DataRow
dsNewRow = ds.Tables("AddressBook").NewRow()
dsNewRow.Item(1) = txtFirstName.Text 'or .Item(1) =

Error With Creating Then Writing To A Txt File

Nov 28, 2011

I am trying to create a countdown to a date that the user can enter. I think I got most of the code in the button that saves the date. It gets the date the user entered in comboboxes, creates a txt file, then writes all the information to that txt file. I tested it out, but it didn't work. It created the file, but when it tried to write to it, it errored. The error says "The process cannot access the file 'C:Countdown.txt' because it is being used by another process." This is the code.

Dim enteredmonth As String = monthcb.SelectedItem
Dim enteredday As String = daycb.SelectedItem
Dim enteredyear As String = yearcb.SelectedItem

Writing Log Alerts And Error Messages Into TXT File?

Aug 30, 2011

For testing purposes, I write a lot of alerts and error messages into a .txt file (some 15 entries per second). At the end of the day, the txt file becomes very large. I am now getting confronted with data loss in my application (threads indicated as being busy). Could it be that my entries in the Log.txt are slowing down my application to the point that the latter becomes unstable ?

Getting Error On Only 1 Computer (out Of Many) When Writing To DB

Jun 8, 2011

I have written a program to track the membership of a local gym that works perfectly on every computer EXCEPT the computer at the gym. I am pulling out my hair trying to figure out what the difference is any why ONLY that machine throws an error.

Background: The program is written in VB.NET (2008) and calls a MS Access db (PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;). The computer in question is a Vista machine that is extremely slow (I think it's a Celeron with 512 RAM).

History: I have tested the exe on a Windows 7 machine in 32bit and 64bit. Tested on a 2000 and 2003 server with 32bit and 64 bit processors. Testes on a Mac running parallels with XP. Tested on machines with Office XP, 2003, 2007 and machines without Office (thinking it was a resource that was missing) Every machine works but the Vista machine.

The error occurs when the program is trying to update an existing table with a new value that is valid. The field is set to text so I know it's not a casting problem. The error message is a general exception that reveals no information. I can continue from the error but it does not complete the change to the db.

One other interesting note is that the database is accessed across the network so multiple people can use the program at the same time. Unfortunately the Vista machine is the "server" and is the home for the db. The other machines are laptops and are not always accessible on the network. If the program and db are local to the laptops then the program works perfectly. If the db is accessed across the network and the program is local to the laptop then the program crashes.

Program Works Writing Error?

Mar 29, 2010

Just completed a program, and tested it. It works, and does exactly what its supposed to do, but I continue to get this error: Cannot Write to a closed TextWriter.The code I'm using is below, but the issue here which I'm guessing would be that in my If statement.[code]'Goes on to create a bunch of tabled XML text.I have this code copied throughout each If Then loop. Basically If the text box is blank then the program will close the table and stop writing.I know the problem most probably lies in that its reading that its trying to close the table or stop writing, but the program forces it to continue.

Writing Array Of File Names To Text File

Mar 11, 2010

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.

Writing File/Folder Sync Prog, Result Text Boxes Not Updating Untill After All File Action Is Done Even Though Update Code Comes Before Copy?

Apr 12, 2011

I am working on a program using VB.Net 2010 which will enable me to setup groups of files & folders for back up with syncing capabilities etc. I have a concept program which is based on some sample code I found out in one of the VB.Net forums. I have modified it from a command line based program to a form based program. At the moment I consider this code to be a "concept" program which once I have the various copy/sync routines developed and debugged will be integrated in to another program I wrote for
creating "Back Up" groups to automate the process. There are some 3rd party programs that do similar things that I want to do such as Microsofts Sync Toy, but none of them offer the grouping and exclusions options that I am going to program in to this backup/sync program.

So here is my problem, I have the included code taking two folders, a source and a destination, and copying everything from the source to the destination. It will skip over any unchanged files/folders and will delete anything found in the destination folder that is not found in the source folder and it will update all files in the destination folder that have a newer version in the source folder. In other words it will mirror image the source to the destination but will be smart enough not to copy unchanged items from the source to the destination thereby saving a lot of time. The sync part of the program is working fine, the displaying of the progress and results is not.

Code:

'creates a new file
Dim result As DialogResult ' stores the file
Dim fileName As String ' name the file to save the data
