Allow A User To Edit A Textfile From Within A Program?

Jul 28, 2011

I have a combobox (combobox1) with a list of countries, Canada, USA, UK as an example. For each country I have a textfile of cities. I choose a country, which populates combobox2 .i.e. I select Canada from combobox1. Combobox2 shows cities for Canada. I also have a button 'Edit Cities' What I want to accomplish is the following:Open some type of text editor (like notepad) and allow the user to either delete or add items to the list of cities then re-save the file back to the resources folder of my program. I have been successful in reading the textfile to a messagebox but of course can't do anything with it.

Here is a code snipet I have so far:

Private Sub btnEdit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEdit.Click
If combobox1.SelectedIndex = 0 Then
Dim fileReader As String

[code].....

Delete Or Edit Line In TextFile?

Dec 11, 2010

I have a program that reads a text file tab delimted using OLEDb I need to be able to allow the user to insert a user created record into the file which I can do. The problem is I need to be able to let the user edit that record. From my understanding you can not edit or delete with OLEDB only insert So I thought I would read the file using stream reader, find the line I want to edit and just delete it, rewrite the file, then let the user insert a new record?

Dim strDelimiter As String = vbTab
OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "C:\"
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"

Use Textbox To Edit A Textfile Csv Which Has Been Read Into An Array?

Nov 28, 2010

I've got a csv text file "test.txt" in the following format with one record per line in the following format: Builder,Bob,B,99HappyStreet,Springtime,4

I've read them into an array and in design use the first two to populate a listbox and then use a selected index to fill text boxes and some list boxes.

ex. TextBox_FirstName.Text = Employees(ListBoxMain.SelectedIndex).FirstName

How do I write the changes made in the text fields back to the position in the file where it was? It has me stumped although I'm sure there is a SelectedIndex option that can work.

I've considered having all the new/changed data saved as a new record and then just deleting the 'old' entry but my delete code gives me a selectedindex-1 index out of range exception error that I'm working on as well. I am sure both problems are related.[cod]e...

Utility That Allows The User To Edit Jump List Entries?

Jul 29, 2011

I want to make a utility that allows the user to edit Jump List entries. There is some kind of tie between the raw junplist filenamess and the app, for instance:

Excel = cdf30b95c55fd785
Word = adecfb853d77462a

Those were found by trial and error and there are a few more on the net.

For MS Word the file is "C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsRecentAutomaticDestinationsadecfb853d77462a.automaticDestinations-ms"

What I'm wondering is if anyone knows how to determine what filenames go with what program. Deciphering the files will be another issue for sure

Protect Excel Workbook - Don't Want The User To Edit Anything Inside The File?

Mar 5, 2009

I'm currently generating some excel files using vb.net (2008). I want to protect the workbook or sheet inside, so that the user cannot edit anything within the file.I tried some options from MSDN but no luck and some other forums but no luck.The following is my last few lines of code in the program.

Code:
ExcelReport = New Excel.ApplicationClass
ExcelReport.Workbooks(1).SaveAs(ExcelFileName)

I basically don't want the user to edit anything inside the file. Perhaps a printout is allowed.
