View 10 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!

I'm using the stream writer to make a text file and write to it.I'm trying to get all the items from the listbox2 and save them to a text file called log.txt.The funny part is that its not giving me a ex.message.Do you see any error.[code]...
View 13 Repliesi am creating a program which scans and saves images. in my program i have the option to save images and with each image i save it gets its own number for example: file1, file2, file3, file4 and so on. the only problem i have is getting the prgram to remember where it left off so it carry's on the number. my understanding is that i need to create some sort of stream writer or file stream class for this proccess to work. so it save's the last image number i was on, and carrys it on next time i open the program up again. and i also need it to re-write the new image number its on for next time. so i need to write and read the text file (.txt) and write it again if you catch my drift? i have a book to help but the wording in it is so confusing at the min, i m lost where to start.
View 1 RepliesI am having a strange issue when using the StreamWriter where I am getting some strange charachers in my text file when reading data from a query string.

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.
[Code]....
I have a dataGridView and tied it to a button that saves every time you click it. and every time you click it, I want to write a line to a txtfile that displays how many records were changed and the date that they were changed. Everything works fine but every time a save has been made it over write the previous entry on the text file. Here is some of the code.
If changes > 0 Then
MessageBox.Show(changes & " changed rows were stored in the database.") ' changes shows how many entries were changed
swDate.WriteLine(changes & " record changes on " & entryDate) 'entryDate is formated as date with value of "Now"
Else
[code]....
I am getting the right results in the text file except it over writes previous entry's so there is only one entry saved in the text file at any given time. I want it to keep building the text file so every time something is streamWrited the previous things in the text file stay there and it add to it. Looking at my problem I cant really justify or implement a For Each..Next or a Do While..Loop. My vb knowledge is limited so go easy on me.
What is the code to make a stream writer remove a certain line from a file stream?
View 1 RepliesI'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.

Private Sub btnAppendData_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAppendData.Click

I 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'm trying to use the
OpenSqlFilestream
Instruction but my code did not recognise it What dll i have to load in order to use it?
in an winForm app in VS2010 win 7 compiling to x86, I try to do what Alvas.Audio seems to work. See (c# ex: [URL] for reference.
Dim data() As Byte = wr.ReadData(second * i, second)
The result give me data.length()=0. I do not have any exception, I can read format from it and whatever reader I use I got this problem.EDIT : After some tests, it seems like the uncompressed file I create in the first step (in PCM format, with .wav extension) can not be recognized by the Alvas.audio library for the second step. I must miss something around Audio file markups or something alike.
Here is the code that might be the source (basically this is step 1):
Dim functOut As String = String.Empty
Dim wr As Alvas.Audio.IAudioReader = Nothing
Dim fs As IO.FileStream = Nothing

How can I write the resulted stream to be sure I can read it again later?

how do you open a text writter? (&keep it open)?

View 1 RepliesI have an asp page with vb.net code that will query a database and present the user with the number of records that exist that need to be exported along with a button to export them. After you push the export button, it will prompt for a location and filename. But after that, it will not refresh the page with the new counts that now exist. Or in this case update the count to zero for the button they clicked.
[Code]
So how can I tell the page to refresh with the new counts. It almost seems like I need to tell the process to wait until after the user has finished finding the location and saving the file but I don't want to add a generic threading.thread.sleep in, I want it to only wait until they are done and then refresh the page.
I've Googled this for a long time but I haven't come across an answer...or I didn't realize it if i did. I need to create an advanced clipboard that will allow you to save 50 phrases for later use. It will have 5 tabs, 10 phrases on each tab with a button next to each phrase to copy. So, the user will open the program; click the appropriate tab then click the button next to a phrase to copy it to the computer's clipboard so they can paste it somewhere else.

Is there a way to test if a streamreader or streamwrite is open? My application is something like this[code]...
View 7 RepliesI noticed when I send bitmap over a stream I have to close the stream where I sent it from in order to get it on the other end. Is there any way I can keep the stream open and send images and strings, or any other way of doing that? [code] 'I have to close the stream or it wont work, but I need to keep it open to send more images!

View 2 RepliesWe needed an inter-process reader/writer lock.We decided to use a file and lock the first byte using LockEx and UnlockEx. The class creates a file in the system temp folder when it is created. The file is created with readwrite access and share read|write|delete.We also specify DeleteOnClose so we don't leave loads of temp files laying around. Obviously AcquireReader and AcquireWriter call LockEx with appropriate flags and ReleaseLock calls UnlockEx.We have tested this class using a small application that you can run several instances of and it works perfectly. The application that uses it has a problem, which we have managed to re-produce in another small test app. In pseudo code it is
Create InterProcessReaderWriter
Dispose InterProcessReaderWriter without acquiring any locks
Launch a child process which takes a reader lock
The first time this runs, it works fine. If you attempt to run it again, while the child process from the first time is still holding the lock, we get an UnauthorisedAccessException when trying to open the file.This appears to be a permission issue, not a sharing violation but all the processes in this test case are running as the same user.
My app currently sends GET httpwebrequests and parses the content after reading the response stream for each request and the repeats this process over and over. I need to implement a continuous http stream which uses the same GET request but the connection stays open, from what I understand. how would I change my existing code to do this?
The streaming HTTP implementation allows one to cosume data in real time over a single persistent HTTp request. It access a data feed that continues to send activities on that response. I need to read data from the response, process it(parse and store) and then continue reading from the response and continue this process until the connection is closed. Would this be like a asynchronous request instead?
CODE:
I'm writing a program that basically loads an entire text file into a streamreader variable, then reads this variable line by line and parses and writes a line into a new text file. I'm VERY new and my knowledge is mostly self-taught, but I can't seem to get out of this one. It works for smaller files, but it appears to reach a limit in characters at some point because in a file of 900 lines, it stops writing about halfway through 800 and there are no errors, the program actually completes and the message box pops up.
There are a few things with this code I already know I should fix, such as creating the new text file name, it's messy, I just don't know how.
Private Sub btnProcess_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnProcess.Click
Dim IndexValues As String()
[CODE]...
I don't know whether it is simple or not because i am new to programming. my requirement is : In my vb.net winform application, the filenames of the files present in "D:Project" willbe displayed in DataGridView1 control. Now I want to load these files one after another into memory stream buffer and add the headers("ID","Name","Class") to the content in the file. Then I want to save these files in "C:" with "_de" as suufix to the filename i.e.,sample_de.csv.
View 1 RepliesI am writing a backup program that zips files. Using some sample code I have the following that creates a zip file. Problem is it does not get any subdirectories or files. Where am i going wrong?
Dim azFileNames() As String = Directory.GetFiles(SourceFolder)
Dim objCrc32 As New Crc32()
Dim zipStream As ZipOutputStream
[CODE]...
Alternativley, there is another component to the zipping dll that I could probably bypass the above altogether. It is: FZ.CreateZip(DestFile, SourceFolder, True, "", "") Where DestFile is (Output stream as system.io.stream). I'm trying to read all the files, directories, sub dir and files, etc from a specific location, let's say 'My Documents' into Destfile in which the FZ.CreateZip zips the file. FZ is FastZip which is from icsharpcode.net. They have c# examples, but that's greek to me. I'm trying to just learn VB!
If i use a stream to modify few bytes in a file without changing the total number of bytes
does the stream rewrite all the file even if just few bytes have been replaced?
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 would like to ask is there anyway to read a txt file with UTF-8 encoding using streamreader or filestream. the txt file is contain some extended ASCII that makes me cannot read the characters properly. I hav tried Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes()) but still it return wrong character when it's reading extended ASCII code.
View 2 RepliesIm making a desktop player for a online web radio, and for the program I wanna make it show all the stream info. Like the stream name, and such. However I dont know how to do this? I looked everywhere
The server url is setup like this "[URL]" And it has all the stream info and that there. So is there a way I can get the info from there onto like say a label? Live updates btw.
i am making a game in which the file stream gets a certain file(lets say a.txt) and it reads it, if it has certain values stored in the file it returns boolean(this is a function), then a sub procedure writes to the file using a streamwriter and a filestream using the same file. I am having problems, sometimes visual basic says that another process is using the file, this is before i closed the filestreams and the streamwriter or streamreader, then it gives me errors when i close the files, it tells me that it can't access a file that is already closed, i thought the filestream gets the file and lets the streamreader or streamwriter read or write to the filefound out the problem?
