i want to know if you can save pictureboxes into a bin file and load them in? Here is a basic code i wrote up that did not work. If you tryed and cannot save pictureboxes as a bin file please suggest another way. But if it is xml dont bother to tell me. I went down that path and left. It was to hard and did not work.
Code:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Collections
Imports System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary

I have small program that allows the user to add clickable pictureboxes to a FlowLayoutPanel. The .Tag property of these pictureboxes contains the link that the user has added to them. I have been doing a lot of research on ways to save forms and data in VB and am kind of overwhelmed with all of the options to choose from. Is there one best way to save the form and data?
I'm pretty sure I have to use XML Serialization in order to properly save the pictureboxes with their respective properties kept intact, but would like some input from the pros.
I am trying to find a way to allow my users to choose the directory to save files into, THe file name is automatically generated as it has a naming convention and i am able to pre program a location to save to but i d like to be able to allow my users to decide themselves which directory they want to save the files to and to have the ability to choose which directory to save to

I'm trying to create a virtual piano using pictureboxes to represent keys that play .wav file versions of notes. I've gotten this to work fine; however, I'm having trouble with two features I want to implement.The first feature is to be able to save what I play in a text file. I thought I could use this code but I'm getting an error. [code] The second feature is to play random keys using the random class. Is there any way I could store the pictureboxes in an array and then use the random class?

I am attempting to write a playlist for my media player which is already built. I have found a way to build a playlist for it but it would be helpful if I could save the contents of TextBox1 to a text file without using the save as. I am trying to get over a user inputting a file name for the finished text file so is it possible to write the file c: est.txt without using the save as dialog? I have found that I can use a vbs program file which creates a playlist in a folder. I save the vbs file text to the textbox then save it as a vbs file in the playlist directory, then execute the finished file to make the playlist.
View 5 RepliesI have researched the net, youtube, and the msdn DB, and still can not find the working answer I am looking for. I would like someone to show me how you would save the contents of "Listbox1" to a .txt file using the "Save As" Option. I know how to hardcode a savepoint in, but since there will be multiple users I would like the option to be up to the end-user.

View 5 RepliesMy question is simple (the answer may not be...), What I am looking for is a way to save a file as an encrypted file (so know one can open it except in visual basic or a way to save it with a unique ending that only visual basic will recognize. I will also need to know of a way to open or load the file to.
This is going to be used in a game I am working on (and yes...I know visual basic isn't really meant for games, but it is coming together pretty well). I was originally going to have it save as a text file, but then everyone could open, read it and even change there stats. That is what this file will contain, the stats for their character, and when they load it, it will place the values into the correct spot.
I am a partial beginner or intermediate coder, I can understand code, I just don't know all there is, like saving and loading, and this is probably a little harder.
I have a website written in .net 4. I'd like to include a save button on one the pages that will save the webpage as a mht file. This way the user can save the page as a mht file type on his/her desktop without have to use the browser toolbar.
I'm currently working with the following code but I need to modify it so it to capture the url of the current page the user is viewing verses hard coding the url into the button click event.
