I've got an application that reads a XML file via a stream reader. The problem is I can't edit my XML file and save it when others are using the application that is using the XML file at the time. how can i get around this?
View 1 Replieshow would I accomplish saving a large piece of data, using the Stream Reader for the Line-by-Line, while keeping the carriage return line feeds in there?

Radio button 2 beacuse there are 3 and you have to pick one (The right one) to advance on to the next form.

Is there anyway to take a static stream reader, and switch it to another text file based on the user changing the file?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make my application read data from a file. Then save the data back. However I keep getting an error which says the file is still open so cannot be edited. I also read that there is an issue with the streamreader and streamwriter do not close the program straight away. I was wondering if anyone had a way around this or any alternative ideas. Heres my code so far!

View 8 Replies[Code] my problem is if i search the class node with the name attribute of value "IT MAJEL 03", the xml reader reads through the first class which is "IT MAJEL 04" and read all of its child nodes(which i think is very awkward. why continue reading to its child nodes if the class name you're looking does not even match). is there another way to actually jump the reader of the xml node to the next xml node of the same level?
I mean if I search the class named "IT MAJEL 03", the reader should jump to the next same level element it does not match the query. It should skip reading the "IT Majel 04" child nodes. what I want to achieve here is I want to save nanoseconds of computing.

View 3 RepliesI have a stream reader going into an array with a .split on it:
strNstring = sr.ReadToEnd.Split(New [Char]() {" "c}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
If the file is set up like:

Is there any way to set the split to fix this and just have them come in correctly?
The bigger problem is that I can't seem to get everything involving using stream writer and reader working. If I start of with a .txt file already correctly formatted then I can display it in the list box. But adding data during run time is not proving successful.

I've set up a stream reader to get data from a serial file, functionality for that is already set up.
My problem is that the program seems to be missing out every other line of code in the file, which kinda defeats the point of a serial file. [code]...

View 12 RepliesFrom few days I am doing efforts to read web pages using webbrowser control in my desktop application. But it is very slower than my expectations(because I want to read lots of pages in minutes and browser control reads almost one page in 5 to 10 seconds), what I need is to read two or three tags written in web page.
So finally I decided to use something, which can give me only source code of page. I think StreamReader will help me to read it. I am not sure if it is flaxible with my purpose, or something else is there which can give me only html source code of web page.
I have written this code to read html code, but it gives error.

I have been using the following Stream Reader code for over a year now to pull information from 3 websites w/ no issues. Recently my users are getting massive amounts of "Timeout" errors. I have opened a ticket w/ the IT department but they have not found any issues (we are experiencing off/on issues w/ our web traffic speeds in our department). Per the code I have the timeout set to 20 seconds but the Timeout error occurs in only a few seconds from the System.Net.WebException.

I am downloading page data using the stream reader using readline.I want to concatenate each line into one long string for parsing The below line of code is not working: datajoined =dataline.Insert(datajoined.Length - 1, dataline.Length - 1)My inevitable goal here is to track stream data with a progress bar. But first I must learn to dload page data in chunks.

I'm trying to setup a simple app that reads a file and then writes the contents to another file using OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog. Looking at the debbugger it looks like it's reading fine, I can see the data I want written. Towards the end of my code I get the following error message:"Illegal characters in path". I've researched this error. I'm not using any illegal characters such as /\? etc and the pathname contains all alpha characters. I'm pulling the test file from the C drive and trying to save it there as well.

View 1 RepliesI am new to Visual Basics and I am using Visual Basic 2008 express. I have been using video tutorial on line to learn VB and they are great in explaining what is happening the code vs. just looking at code. I think from what little I can find I would be using StreamWriter WriteLine and StreamReader readLine .I am using a couple of forms. I am looking for simple basic code to use a form as a way of modifying timer intervals and store the values in a single text file on separate lines.
Description:
Form1: will contain the main code that will run. It will contain some timers. I want the timers to look in a text file for their intervals. Each timer would be on a different line.
Example:
Timer1 interval would be located on line 3
Timer2 interval would be located on line 6
Timer3 interval would be located on line 20
Form2: will contain 3 textboxes. This is where when I load form2 I will also read the same values from the text file to preload the text boxes. I will now be able to change the timer intervals as needed and press a button to update the text file. The update button will also reload the new timer settings on Form1. This is very similar to how a CNC Machine works with Parameter settings. This can be useful for storing many different settings for a form that a user can modify and be stored and reloaded next time the program runs.
I have a text file that has different controls for text boxes. This text file controls the BackColor, BorderStyle, Font-Bold, Font-Size, Height, Width, ReadOnly, and TextMode a sample is below:
*****Detail Header
txtDetailHeaderBackColor = Black
txtDetailHeaderBorderStyle = None
txtDetailHeaderFont-Bold = False

View 9 RepliesI have a hardware which sends out packets containing 17 bytes to the comport in bursts of 3. the little test VB that I have written receives and displays the bytes in a line of 17 bytes long and works fine until it gets to around 170th packet, then it starts to mix up (looks like shifting the data left) the bytes shift mostly by one digit sometimes by two. then it will continue to give almost a packet correct and a packet shifted for about 50 packets. Then it will correct itself for a long while, but then the speed at which it receives drops. All the packets are sent 3 times, and before things go wrong (within the first 170 packets) the packet counter shows that it receives 3 packet each time but after the problem it goes to 2 packet per burst and then to one.
If i close my VB monitoring program say at packet 165 and immediately open it again, it wont go wrong for another 170 packets, this points the finger at VB. I have check my hardware, there is no problem with that.The program reads port - waits for 17 bytes - once 17 has been received it will go and buffer the packet in an array. In fact they are 2 arrays but printing fro either results in the same problem.I have tried whatever i could think of but to no avail, i am wondering if some kind of house keeping needs to be done to clear something... I am sorry the program is a bit messy but I have been making many changes to find out what the problem is - my code below:[code]
I'm launching my application at the end of installation using custom installer class - Sub oncommited.I'm using vb 2005 setup project.The application main form load event need to read/write values from HKCUSoftwareMyApp registry.The problem is that when the application is launched at the end of installation ,it reads/writes from HKEY_Users.DefaultSoftwareMyApp instead of HKCU though I've written
My .Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey(RegKey).GetValue("Name","")
When the application is launched through Program files shortcut,it reads/writes properly.I need to exit the application depending on registry values.
My application reads information from an Excel spreadsheet into a DataSet (ds1) which is then filtered into another DataSet (ds2) based on user-specified criteria. The information is basically telephone call logs that reflects when a phone call was made,what extension it was made one, how long the call was, what number was called, etc.When the user's "search" criteria is matched in ds1 above, the application adds the number called to a ListBox on the form. When the ListBox Item is selected, additional information (call duration and such) is displayed to the right of the ListBox. My problem is that a single phone number could have been called multiple times on an extension within the date range the user specifies and for each occurrence of that number in the ListBox, the "expanded" info only reflects the information for the 1st call to that number listed in the DataSet.
The only unique identifier I have is the DateTime field for the row (as this goes up to the second). I thought about putting it into the ListBox item, but I'd prefer that this date not be visible until the user selects the ListBox item to view the details for that call. [code]
