I'm making a program in Visual Basic 2008, and I want the user to be able to save certain things on the form. Would it be a good idea to save the saves items to a .txt file in C:WINDOWS? The reason I'm wanting to do this is so the user won't easily find the file and it is easily done.
View 5 RepliesI was developing my own project in the university so what i am stack is to have save button which firstly validates what the user enters the form. for instance if the user skips the text fields, i wanted to restrict the user to fill all the form and when he completes, the save must be accomplished.
Here's the code i was trying to put but i was having problem saying the windows.forms.etc is unable to convert the save as Boolean and something like that.
Dim success As Boolean
Private Sub Save_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Save.Click

Is there a better way to make a form with multiple buttons opening different things than having a form that has lots group boxes for each tab. So in the begining each box will be invisible and when you click the button the corresponding group box will become visible. Is there any other way?It will be like a background image and it'll have buttons that will mask it with invisible buttons. when the button is clicked it will open the corresponding group box.

I'm creating a program and i want it to secretly save when the user clicks on save.
In other words, i have made it so that it saves twice. Once for the user to read (like a fancy copy) and another that the program uses to open up the form.
Currently when pushed, 2 save dialog boxes come up after each other. I don't want this to happen. I want 1 to come up (the user friendly, fancy version) which is the easy part, but i also want the other 1 to save automatically and secretly without asking the user to set the destination.

in my form i have 4 textboxes and i want all not to be empty while saving the data.I have put condition in save button,when user presses the save button to save data, to check all the textboxes not to be empty. My question is that, i want to focus to that particular textbox which is empty during saving the data.
For example: i have txt1,txt2,txt3,txt4 as textboxes in the form if txt1 is empty while saving, the focus should switch to txt1 rather user himself have to go there.

View 4 RepliesI have a program that takes data out of an excel worksheet and puts it into VB.NET datasets. The user can then manipulate the data using the windows forms application. At this point, I want the user to have the capability to save his/her data to some kind of file, email that file to a friend, and have the friend be able to view the same data with the windows forms application. I'm not looking for syntax, just a suggestion of a good way to go about this. Would the best way be to write to an access database and then use sql queries to get it out again? I've had a hard time figuring out how to write a dataset to access via VB.NET.
1. Start with Excel Data
2. Convert to VB.NET Datasets
3. Manipulate Data in form applicaiton
4. Save manipulated data in some type of file that can be sent to a friend
5. Friend opens manipulated data file in form application and can view and manipulate the data further
