View 4 RepliesI'm using the SaveFileDialog to save listbox info into a text file. The files save fine, but when you go to save the file, if you hit the cancel button, it will overwrite the previous file you saved, because it's name was the same and it seems to save the previous file as the new name for your next file. Is there any way to catch if the user clicks cancel, and then exiting the sub if they did?

I have a windows form application written using vb.net 2005 to generate and save an excel file. I faced some problems with the saving of excel file. The program will prompt a message box with 'Yes', 'No' or 'Cancel' options if the existing file exists. If user choose 'Yes', it will override the existing file. If user choose 'No', it will open a savefiledialog to allow user to specify the location and name to save the file. Do i use filestream object to save the file when user choose either 'Yes' or 'No'? How can i go about doing it or where can i find sample coding.

View 1 RepliesI want to search a text file (*.txt extension) for a certain keyword or a part of it. And then let the found item be displayed in a listbox or something else. Now the more difficult part, how can I display the word in front of that found word ?
Example:
I search for VBFORUMS in a file called test.txt
I find this:
VBFORUMS
but in front of that is this:
IDS_IDS_TXT_008912VBFORUMS
How can I then display the IDS_IDS_TXT_008912 on a label ?

View 16 RepliesI have a VB.NET program with a SaveFileDialog control with the filter set as ".asx|*.asx|.m3u|*.m3u" (without the quotes). It works fine to save a file, but if I then try to save a file with the same name of an existing file and then change the extension in the save as type box, it still thinks I want to save the file as the existing file and asks to overwrite the file, disregarding the newly selected file extension.
I have tried setting the SaveFileDialog.FileName = Nothing after saving a file, so the Save File Dialog Box the File name box is empty, but then I like to click the existing file to get the file name I want, then select a new extension and try to save, but it still asks to overwrite the file with the other extension.
I hope my situation is clear and sorry if it has been already asked a million times...but can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me how I can save the file with the currently selected extension, not the previous selected extension when the file name was entered?
Code:
If SaveFileDialog.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
If Path.GetExtension(SaveFileDialog.FileName) = ".asx" Then

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 need to logging the process list and saving it as a text file. I need it so that it will log any new program that opens up. Basically monitoring the process list.

If there a trick in the SaveFileDialog that I can use to save each field to file then open them back in their own field?
Here's a screen shot of the before and after the program [URL]
And here is code behind the Save button [URL]
I want to save a string of text to a file every 1.4 seconds or so, and each day at midnight I want to create a new file for the days log data so I keep the file size down. The file stays open the whole time so that it is ready to accept data from several different forms which call a function (SaveToVoltsLogFile(str)), so I open it at module level like this:
Dim fsVlogStream As New FileStream(EVENT_LOG_PATH & VOLTS_LOG_FILENAME & DateString & ".ip", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read)
Dim swVlogWriter As New StreamWriter(fsVlogStream)
Now each time I call a function SaveToVoltsLogFile(str), the str data gets saved to the file:
Friend Sub SaveToVoltsLogFile(ByVal str As String)
swVlogWriter.WriteLine(str)
swVlogWriter.Flush()
End Sub
But by opening it this way, I cannot call a sub to close it and open a new file for the next day because putting the Dims into a sub means that the file is out of scope to other subs/functions, so my Save... sub won't work! So, what I think I need is a separate sub to open the file, another sub to close it, and another to write the str data. But how do I do this and keep the file in scope to all subs?
I have a form that contains a RichTextBox control that I have set to multiline. I also have a menu item that allows the user to save the contents of the RichTextBox as either a .rtf document or a .txt document. Here's the code I'm using so far:
If sfdSaveTextFile.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
m_strDocFileLocation = sfdSaveTextFile.FileName
m_strDocFileExtension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(m_strDocFileLocation)
[Code]....
into the RichTextBox control (rtb) then saves as a text file this would save the text file like: "TempTemp"
Is there any way to write to the text file with line feeds included?
