Text - .NET - Using Textfile As Source For Menus And Textboxes?
Sep 30, 2009
this is probably a bit tense and I'm not sure if this is possible at all. But basically, I'm trying to create a small application which contains alot of PowerShell-code which I want to run in an easy matter.
I've managed to create everything myself and it does work. But all of the PowerShell code is manually hardcoded and this gives me a huge disadvantage. What I was thinking was creating some sort of dynamic structure where I can read a couple of text files (possible a numerous amount of text files) and use these as the source for both the comboboxes and the richtextbox which provovides as the string used to run in PowerShell.
I was thinking something like this:
Combobox - "Choose cmdlet" - Use "menucode.txt" as source
Richtextbox - Use "code.txt" as source
But, the thing is, Powershell snippets need a few arguments in order for them to work. So I've got a couple of comboboxes and a few textboxes which provides as input for these arguments. And this is done manually as it is right now. So rewriting this small application should also search the textfile for some keywords and have the comboboxes and textboxes to replace those keywords. And I'm not sure how to do this.
So, would this requre a whole lot of textfiles? Or could I use one textfile and separate each PowerShell cmdlet snippets with something? Like some sort of a header?

Now, this snippet above lets me either use a text file as a source for each username used in the powershell snippet. Just so you know :) And I know, this is probably coded as stupidly as it gets. But it does work! :)
I just wondered if it is possible to save multiple text boxes as one file.Currently I:
a ) haven't woked out how to save a TextBox atall and have had to use Rich Text Boxes for this purpose and have used: RichTextBox1.SaveFile("Something.txt")
b ) Haven't worked out how to save/open files as one file. I have had somebody suggest to me using Arrays but I do not know what this meens
I'm having trouble reading in the file and populating the textboxes accordingly. After loading the file (I think that is) nothing is being populated in any of the textboxes listed below. Basically I'm not sure if the file is being read or not.
If OpenFileDialog2.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("path_to_file") Then Dim ioFile As New System.IO.StreamReader("path_to_file" + "filename") TextBox1.Text = ioFile.ReadLine() 'Adds the first line TextBox2.Text = ioFile.ReadLine() 'Adds the second line TextBox3.Text = ioFile.ReadLine() 'Adds the third line TextBox4.Text = ioFile.ReadLine() 'Adds the fourth line TextBox5.Text = ioFile.ReadLine() 'Adds the fifth line End If End If
If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then Dim txt As TextBox = TryCast(ctl, TextBox) If txt.Tag IsNot Nothing Then

Now - here's the really odd part! See the attached image. I call up a vendor - go to change the LANGUAGE FROM (Finnish) to another language - when I leave the DROP DOWN for LANGUAGE FROM it puts garbage in the RateHr_3 field. It actually fills the field with "System.Data.DataRowView" - as you can see in the bottom piece of the attached image.I'm having a really hard time debugging this - How do you put a watch on a textbox in VS2008?
I'm working on a program that is interacting with a simple Access database. When the form loads there need to be multiple text boxes that are bound to the same table and field in the database, Inventory_Table.Quantity, to display the quantity of the inventory. From there, orders are read into the system adjusting the inventory as necessary.
I need to specify what row these are each supposed to be bound to, because right now it is binding them all to row 0, which makes sense but is not what I want. Is this possible? Heres the code I have to bind currently.

Can anyone tell me why this code isn't working? I am trying to read a textfile into a textbox with multiline = true. All i get is the first member of the list from the textfile. The rest is left blank.Public Class Form2

I am trying to create a textfile and write some lines into the textfile. However, the code that i am using can only write when the textfile is already created in the directory.
For this case, can i actually allow my script to search if a textfile is being created, if not create a textfile ???

I am using the following code to enter the data from the keyboard and save it in a text file.

I've setup a TextWriterTraceListener which outputs the debug messages I've written to a file.This works fine however what I am trying to do know is output the content of this file to a textbox using a streamreader object.I originaly thought it may because I did not set the text file to allow read/write access so I changed this by setting the following:[code]
I am trying to encrypt text to a textfile(.txt) and then decrypt it in a diff. program.The encrypting part works fine.I have tried these functions in a textbox and they work perfectly, I get InvalidCastException when trying to decrypt from the .txt file.
How would one remove an item from a ListBox and then remove that line from the TextFile and repopulate the ListBox with new data in Visual Basic.Net?[cod]...
I am making a Help-form for my application. A Help-form normally has a ListView on the left and a RichTextbox on the right. When you click on a Help topic in the ListView, the text in the RichTextbox is supposed to change accordingly. The text file is part of the application's resources.
I'm having a problem with loading two text boxes from a saved text file. I've built a log in form that saves the user-name and password on separate lines in a text file.I have a save button and a load button. My problem is that I'm new to Visual Basics and I can't figure out how to get the two lines from the file to load into their separate boxes on the form.The code that I have loads both lines from the text file into the User Name Box.Oh the username is on the first line in the text file, and the password is on the second line of the text file. Could someone please help! My Loading code is:
Private Sub btnLoad_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoad.Click If File.Exists("Login Config.txt") Then Dim ioFile As New StreamReader("Login Config.txt") Dim ioLine As String ' Going to hold one line at a time
I have a form that contains an array of textboxes that are created at runtime. 72 to be exact. They will be used to hold the serial numbers of parts that will be be read with a scanner. I need to check that there are no duplicates in the serial numbers while the operator is scanning in the parts and then change the backcolor of the matching textboxes if the text is the same in 2 or more.
I am starting to learn reading and writing to textfiles. One quick problem. My code here
'Read is the variable that will read the kp.txt file" Dim read As IO.StreamReader read = IO.File.OpenText("C:2/kp.txt"[code].....
however when it is read into the listbox those 3 words appear on one line in listbox How can i make it so that each line of the textfile is placed in each line on the listbox?
I am trying to export text from the following textboxes:textbox1.textextbox2.text To a standard text file (notepad) to save the data. I want to be able to click a button, and what I type in the 2 textboxes save to this file, then I want to be able to add more values from textbox1 and textbox2 to then add to my textfile, so that I have several strings stored in the textfile.
I'm having some trouble getting my button to erase the text that is in the textboxes when I hit it. I thought it would be something like txtAnswerText.Text = "" in side of the Next1_Click sub but that didn't do anything at all.
in order to select text in a textbox you need to focus into it.The problem is, after focusing and selecting the second textbox, it deselects the text in the first textbox.
I'm trying to save the input from the user from several text boxes into a text file, but to append to put after the last record on the next line. I've searched google and have tried the numerous ways but with no luck, and tried searching here but came up with a 502 bad error or something message.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
