View 1 RepliesI have a textbox on a form that is set to allow dragdrop operations from txt files.Basically you drag a .txt file onto the txtbox, the content of the text file is displayed in the textbox.All is working fine, however after the textfile is displayed in the textbox, the text box text is for some reason is highlighted.I don't want the text to be highlighted (or selected) after it's being displayed on the textbox.Second issue, after I close the file that I dragged, for some reason even if I didn't make any changes to the file, it is acting as if the file has changed.In another words, if I open a text file using my MenuItem Open item, and if I do not change the file, If I close the file it's fine it closes.However, if I close a file that I draged into the text box and then close the file without changing anything in it, the stringcompare function is telling me that the file has changed... I can't understand why.

What is the easiest way to save txtbox text to .txt file? Ofc I also need to choose the folder Im saving the text file. And it is possible to save that text file "to that program" ? I mean if I wrote textfile and click a button (to save text) and restard whole application can the text be saved somehow? If this is impossible (or too hard for me^^) I also need help with loading that saved text file: By clicking button it will open that txt file I saved before.And then (In my opinion) the harder one: If I need to save more than a textbox text.. In my current program it would be good to save (by clicking button) at least labels' texts, numericUpDowns, checxboxs, etc (the data that user had given) from just one form. Not to save whole program, one form is enough. So how this? That file doesnt need to be able to read by another program (like word, excel, etc). And again, the same vice verca. I also need a button which opens that saved file. (And now my english skills came to end)but this button click must also "place the values".For example if I have clicked checkboxs 1, 2 and 4 -> saved file -> opened -> it must show those checkboxes as checked. The same with everything else too (labels, numerics..)

So I'm using a plain TextBox to display output from an ongoing background process. I've created a 'report string' that displays in my textbox like it has 3 columns; there's a VariableName, a VariableValue, and a VariableEffect (showing how applying that variable to the process affected it).In my textbox, any VariableValue entry that has 17 or greater characters gets 1 tabstop between Value and Effect; any entry 16 or less gets 2 tabstops, and any value 7 or less gets 3 tabstops which very neatly lines up the 3 columns.

How do I compare the textbox value to a line read from the file and stop if there is a match?
First I create a class which have a string property
Property stdName() As String
Then I open a text file and put into array of that class
Dim arrStudent() As Students
Dim allstdinfo As New IO.StreamReader(dlgOpenStudentsFile.FileName)
Do Until (allstdinfo.Peek() = -1)
Dim strAllstdinfo As String = allstdinfo.ReadLine()
Dim arrStudentLine() As String
[Code] .....
Finally I run a for loop and compare the stdName property with textbox.text
Dim counter As Integer = arrStudent.Length
(debug here)
For i As Integer = 0 To counter - 1
If (String.Compare(arrStudent(i).stdName, txtStdName.Text) = 0) Then
lblPhoneNo.Text = arrStudent(i).phoneNo
End If
Next
And I add watch:
Why the compare return 1

Program Overview: Quiz Show based on answering questions, with A,B,C,D choice answers. If the player answers correctly he moves up the ladder with prizes. If he answers incorrectly his game ends, asking him for his name so he can be added to the scoreboardif the score is high enough. Program should use mysql database or msaccess database to hold the questions. There should be a section with master options protected by a password in which authorized person can update the question database using buttons.Problem: I will manage easily to implement sql database with buttons to add,remove questions , password will be easy too.
Edit: Everything is on the forms, some coding is done.The problem i am having right now is making scoreboard to work. I want the scoreboard to store 10 best scores ie. prize they won eg. 500 000$ and their name. They should be displayed in a textbox or a listbox in a two column system. Right now i have placed a listbox and a textbox on the scoreboard form and trying things out hoping its going to work.
I have text in a textbox that I want to write to a file. I'm trying to think of the best way to do this. Would reading the text into a buffer, then writing the buffer to a file be the best approach? I'm sure there's more than one way of doing this and I wanted to see if anyone had any input on the most efficient way.

I found several examples on how to write to dataset, but most of them involve a ds.fill(..) from a data connection and I need a simpler solution.

One method I used was to fill the textboxes from an xml, but now how do I write it back to the xml once the user has changed the data in the textbox?
