Reading a .txt file in VB.net. My file path is C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt.
This is my line of Dim LoanOptionsFile As String = "C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt"
I can read the file when I run the program, but how do I write the file path so that someone else can download my program and file and read the file on their system?

I am making trying to make a program that can read the file information directly from a specified file, but I am having a lot of difficulty reading things like file comments.An example of this can be found in windows XP when you alternate / right click on any file and click on properties. You'll get a lot of extra information.Now I have a few questions about this.
1.Can this information even be read in VB.NET
2.If so how
3.If not do I need to create some kind of data file to store the file information
Here is what I did so far

A VS 2008 desktop .NET program needs to open a PDF file and read its contents as data. That is, the program must scan through the PDF file searching for certain text. The program will not merely open the PDF file and display the contents using a control such as an ADOBE Reader control. It has to actually read the individual data within the PDF.
How can a .NET program read data within a PDF file?

The project I'm working on is to write a program that requests an integer from 1 through 12 and then list the gifts for that day along with that day's cost. The program should also give the total cost for all twelve days combined. The items and price are in a text file called TwelveDays.txt.An example output is shown below:
The gifts for day 3 are:
1 partridge in a pear tree
2 turtle doves
3 french hens
Cost: $249.99
Total cost for the twelve days:
$78,100.30
How to read in the file and add the day costs together.

What my program does is load a file (password list), then progressively reads each line of text in the file whilst writing each line to a new file. After X amount of lines have been written, it should start writing the lines of text to a new document until the initial password list has been split into X amount of password lists. The problem I have is that after hours of tweaking, all I can get it to do is write either blank ocuments, or write all of the lines to only one file. I really need it to be able to split into multiple files, preferably at runtime rather than loading a whole text document into the program in a textbox or array then writing it to new files.Below is the source:
Imports System
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.IO

2 - Saves the server XML file it into a folder separate from the root folder of the application.3 - Deletes the local XML file in the root folder of the application.4 - Copies the server XML file to the local folder of the application.5 - Opens the application.6 - Closes the updater.Now when the application opens, it reads this XML file in the local folder. When I run it stand alone, it works fine and can find this XML file. However, my problem is when the application is opened by the updater, it can't read the XML file in the local folder. I check for this file doing File.Exists(XMLfilename) and it returns false but like I said, if I close the application and reopen it it works fine.
I'm thinking that for some reason the updater is "locking" this file so my other process can't read it? I can't close the process before I open the original application so I'm not sure what's happening here. My Update Folder is the users ApplicationData folder and the root directory of the application is in the Program Files folder.
This is my code in the updater:
Dim ImageDir As DirectoryInfo
Dim fi As FileInfo

1) I have a chat Program.
2) To access the Chat Program one has to put in ones Username and password in a Login Form.
3) TextBox1 = Username TextBox2 = Password
4) One clicks the "Log In" button.
5) HERE is the problem. I do not know how to check if the specific username and the password are correct. I have a file called "Users.dat". In there every valid Username(marked with a *) and it's Password(marked with a #) is contained e.g.*Username#Password.
I want my "Log In" program to check if the Username matches one of the usernames and if the username is found in the file, if the password provided is the same as the one standing behind the Username in the file.
6) If both the Username and Password are valid, the Chat Programs shows up.

I am having a problem with my program that is desinged to read a 3rd party text file database. I posted previosuly about a problem inserting an item in a new row and the column was expectig a different data type. It appears that sometimes the column is being determined to be of decimal value, I dont understand why. the fields contain information such as
Col1
F123456
CLW-12321 etc....
So my column fills with
123456
12321 the letters just get chopped off
So I added MaxScanRows = 0 to my schema file and that took care of the problem
Except now several of my columns that contain Date Values are coming back
9/24/2010 00:00:00
without the setting MaxScanRows = 0
The date returned 9/24/2010
Here is the code for my schema ini file I am creating:
HTML
Dim fs As New FileStream("Schema.ini", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
Dim writer As New StreamWriter(fs)
[CODE]............
I have been trying different settings hence the dimmed out lines
Here is the code to fill the datatable:
HTML
[CODE].............
I am thinking that without the MaxScanRows = 0 setting the datatype for Col1 is being incorrectly determined
I am not sure what is happening with other columns that contain date values. Apparently If i use MaxScan Rows=0 all columns are being pulled over as string value which creates numerous problems. If I dont use maxscanrows then all columns appear to be correct except Col21 MLSNUM which is being pulled in as a decimal. Can I change that in the schema file?

I have a class that needs to check for errors in the data contained in a object.The routines that will check for errors could be implemented in concrete interfaces of supertype IErrorCheck. That way error checks can be discrete and added or removed from the class that requests the error checks.Each IErrorCheck implementation would be programmed against the supertype IErrorCheck (Strategy).But it would be nice not to recompile when checks are added or removed.Is there an accepted procedure for abstracting the error checks all the way out of the program, such as to read the checks from a file?

I'm using vb.net 1.1 to develop the program. I got text files that contain test result from a machine, like below.
T1 1.24535 2.56335 2.43253 1.24538 2.55619 4.35243
T2 1.42542 1.63728 3.57295 4.59275 1.57320 2.72057
T3 5.12857 2.45375 6.38593 2.58375 3.57259 3.57204
I need to check the test result with the data from database, to find out which test result is failed. If there is a fail test result, I will show an alert to the operator and stop the checking process. Until the operator close the alert, then the checking process will continue from the last read point.
