been gone for a while. I started back working on this program for my team. I wanted to read from a xml file and put it into a listview. I looked on the web and they said a datagrid would be best but i'm not sure about that. okay, so i got two colums on says, "First Name" and "Last Name" on the other column. I'm tryint to read the xml and place them in order like first name John and last name Smith. Get it? It's doing absolutely nothing. If it does then it's putting it in the wrong colum like the first name in the last name colum.
I have a txt file that I need to read into a listview, but I need to read from a specific line in that file. Below is a sample of the txt file to read,
I am using the XmlReader class to try and read and xml file and populate some form controls from the data. My question is, how do I loop through a section of the xml file and add the "child nodes" to a listview controls. For example, see the xml fragment below from the code, I basically want to add the three data items from each <BottleFire> node as an item in a listview (where the columns in the listview correspond to the data items in the <BottleFire> node. I need to use some flexible looping method because the number of <BottleFire> nodes will vary. So, something like:
For Each <BottleFire> lvCarouselData.items.add(<Remarks>, <Time>,<Bottle>) next <BottleFire>
I'm trying trying to add a feature to a program i'm working on that puts the start up programs on a system into a listview.
The start up items are stored in the following registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
What I would like to do is read the Program Name value under the Name Column in the registry and the Data Value under the Data value and put these values into the listview in two seperate columns like Msconfig utility see the screen shot.
I'm familiar with working with the registry in .NET, but I can't seem to get this to work. I believe I would need to loop through each registyvaluename under this key and get the name and value.
I would like to read text from another programs listview control. I have searched over 3x forums for this and cant find any working examples and especially no working VB.NET examples.I know that i have to use the command 'LVM_GETITEMTEXT' with the API Sendmessage but i have no idea how to issue the command and need a working example to go from.
What I am trying to do is stream write to a text file information from 5 columns I have in my list view and then read the data back into those columns as required. I have manage to write the data to the text file in this format
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.
I know it's possible to read from database and generate them onto listbox but how about listview using call function. here's a sample of what how a listbox is able to read from a database and generate them on the listbox.the listbox is reading from database, how does one make it to read from an active listview.
Private Sub frmReceipt_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim strConnection As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= luggageb.mdb"
I've attached a picture of the list view control that I am using. I've been fine until now, I want to save the entire line of items in the list view control (item_description, price) and dump it into the MySQL database to allow tracking of reciepts. The following code that I have saves the first column worth of information, but I cant figure out a way to save the second column (the price)
Dim li As ListViewItem For Each li In ListView1.Items CurItems = CurItems.ToString + li.Text + ", " Next
Oh right, and I'm making it comma seperated values so I can pull it up in a readable format again.
I have a number of word documents I am converting. Everything is going great until I get a file that is read only. In this case I get a Save As prompt.
Is there any way to open the file in read/write format? I should have admin privileges so access isn't an issue.
I'm using VB.net to open the files. More specifically
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'm trying to make a program that can read .mp3 data (Such as Artist, Album, Year, Track number, etc), but I need to be able to do two things that I have no clue how to do:
1. Read starting from a specified string (E.G, On one line it states: [code]
2. Read until a specified string (E.G, On the previously stated line,I need to read starting from what I said, up until.
i need to read binary file and in this file found the string and replace it with other one and save the file afterwords. I found many example to read binary, but to find and replace is for me mistery.
I need to write data to a file, preferably in binary format, but I am unaccustomed with the concept. Where's the easiest place to get the basics? I could come here with a specific need, but I'm at the point right now where I am more willing to work within the confines of keeping it simple.
Here's what I know: 1. how to open a new file 2. how to specify the record length 3. how to close the file
Some specific questions:
Does the record length have to be constant throughout the file?
Can I read the nth record without reading the whole file?
I have a fairly simple XML file that I just want to read the data from.
It has 3 levels, root, main section and items. There are no attributes. I want to go to the first main section by name, then read in all the items. The items all are named the same. I've seen this done before, so it should be ok. No writing will be done. Basically this is a static data file
Below is my code for DELETE button. What i want is if the user select the transaction from the listview and press the DELETE button it must be able to delete the transaction from listview and text file(temporary log file) which i keep all the transaction record. At the same time the list view must able show the total current balance from the deleted trnsaction.
I've gone through about 16 hours and two packs of cigarettes trying to figure this out. First a little background. I was using 6.0 up until 2004 when I went to prison. I'm out now, and trying to relearn the trade, using VS 2005. I'm currently porting some 6.0 code from another project, SpyCast Webcam Studio, into VB 8.0. It's disheartening, to say the least. None of the old built-in subs/functions work anymore, so I have to scour the forums to relearn each and every function.The section I'm doing now takes a snapshot from the webcam (Video API --> PictureBox --> Save as Jpeg), then upens the file to upload it to the server via HTTP POST. I've been using this code in SpyCast for years with no trouble, but I spent many hours trying to piece together the right code to open the binary file to read its contents. I pieced together two methods I found around the forums, one using FileStream() though the code I found wasn't for binary files, even though it said it was, so that code doesn't really work. Method two uses Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileOpen() and works better.
Here's the kicker. By the time I run through the rest of the rigamarole of uploading the file, by the time I read it on the webserver, it's *slightly* corrupted. It's a valid Jpeg, no errors, but the picture looks like when I use to watch the Playboy Channel when I was a kid scrambled with weird colors and whatnot. [code] Each "chunk" is basically one "line" of the file. It looks like a single LineInput() return is the text between two carriage returns. Am I correct? I tested this with a flat text file, and it looks true. However, That one input line returns the text or data with the carriage returns *stripped*! ***?!? =( Fine, I have no problem adding my own vbCrLf to each LineInput(), if I were opening text. but this's binary. A character could be Chr(10) or Chr(13), both of which are removed from the original file contents.So I could very well need to use something other than LineInput(), but I haven't found any other examples on the web using this method.
I a very large text document, I need to read some lines and at the end of each line, insert a text from the header of each page to he preceding lines.I have the following code the reads the file and displays it on a list box.Public Class Dialogs..[code]
i want make a program like a login tool game..in login tool program..i put a button and WebBrowser page..then i want make a my button and WebBrowser read link or target in ini file or inf file...how to make it?
I need to implement a routine to read a plain text file, BUT that file has a predefined format.The file format is as follows:
Quote:
<FILE_PROPERTIES> 'The "< >" also appears Propertie1="String" 'It's possible to have spaces after or before the "=" Propertie2="String" Propertie3="String" PropertieN="String"
[code]....
Is there any Windows API Routine to read something like that?Or could you point me an URL where something is implemented?I don't want a procedure to read the file line by line and comparing them with Line Input because blank spaces, empty lines and comments starting with " // " may appear too, and I don't want to take them into account, but also I need to save changes to the file, but only to the modified section, without having to read the whole file, and re-write it completely.
Binary access can't work, because I don't know what's the size of each "section", since the number of elements into it can change. I need something like the "ReadINI" Windows API Procedure, but allowing me to read the "[XXX]" sections headers, and also the "<XXX>" file title header.
Before I begin I would like to mention that I am not a noob in VB, it's just I've never had to do anything this complex before. Basically what I want is to have a program that you can load a txt file in, have it copy key words, and paste it in a textbox so I can use it later on. So in this text file, there is a bunch of info, but I am only needing a certain part. Here is an example of a text file (actually a .dat file, but is easily read):
I'm using Visual Basic express 2008.The application I am working on is the first major project I have ever undertook with visual basics. The application is a launcher for a private server for world of warcraft.I have a menu bar that pulls the file path of the wow.exe and puts it in a hidden textbox, I then have another option that saves this text to c:wowexe.txt. All of this works GREAT!
How can I read the .txt file to end and return the information stored in the .txt file to this line of code.
Dim RetVal RetVal = Shell("This is where I need the data from the .txt file to be seen", 1)
If your wondering why I don't just type in the path of the .exe, it's simple, not everyone installs World of Warcraft on the C drive.
i 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.
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
