View 3 RepliesI'm creating a program and i want it to secretly save when the user clicks on save.
In other words, i have made it so that it saves twice. Once for the user to read (like a fancy copy) and another that the program uses to open up the form.
Currently when pushed, 2 save dialog boxes come up after each other. I don't want this to happen. I want 1 to come up (the user friendly, fancy version) which is the easy part, but i also want the other 1 to save automatically and secretly without asking the user to set the destination.
Im trying to save a file in XML and offer the user a save dialog to appear so they can name the file. The file will save using a custom file extention.

Im still a bit new to Vb so posting off the wall examples

in my form i have 4 textboxes and i want all not to be empty while saving the data.I have put condition in save button,when user presses the save button to save data, to check all the textboxes not to be empty. My question is that, i want to focus to that particular textbox which is empty during saving the data.
For example: i have txt1,txt2,txt3,txt4 as textboxes in the form if txt1 is empty while saving, the focus should switch to txt1 rather user himself have to go there.

Dim success As Boolean
Private Sub Save_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Save.Click

I'm making a program in Visual Basic 2008, and I want the user to be able to save certain things on the form. Would it be a good idea to save the saves items to a .txt file in C:WINDOWS? The reason I'm wanting to do this is so the user won't easily find the file and it is easily done.

View 4 RepliesI have a program that takes data out of an excel worksheet and puts it into VB.NET datasets. The user can then manipulate the data using the windows forms application. At this point, I want the user to have the capability to save his/her data to some kind of file, email that file to a friend, and have the friend be able to view the same data with the windows forms application. I'm not looking for syntax, just a suggestion of a good way to go about this. Would the best way be to write to an access database and then use sql queries to get it out again? I've had a hard time figuring out how to write a dataset to access via VB.NET.
1. Start with Excel Data
2. Convert to VB.NET Datasets
3. Manipulate Data in form applicaiton
4. Save manipulated data in some type of file that can be sent to a friend
5. Friend opens manipulated data file in form application and can view and manipulate the data further

View 1 RepliesI have created a program in Visual basic 2010, the program contains many different objects e.g. datagridview, textbox, buttons, graphs etc, which can all be modified by the user. The user can also select a file using 'SaveFileDialog'.
Is there a way to save all the properties associated with each object to this file and later load the program back to exactly the same state it was saved in, after the user has selected saved file using 'LoadFileDialog'? Preferably in binary.
I can do this the hard way in ASC11 format by interrogating objects user editable properties and saving them. I would rather not use this method as it will require a lot of code and any future program changes will require a lot of extra work.
I have created my own version of word pad. When I click save on the file drop down, the save dialog box pops up, but if I click cancel then my program crashes. I am not sure what I need to do so that if I hit cancel, it will just return to my program.[code]
