I have a form. And some controls(such as TextBox,ComboBox,etc.) on the form.Now,I want to store the controls' Text into a .txt file(or any other formarts).Then I want to read the text in the .txt file to my controls.
View 10 RepliesI have a .txt file constructed like this:
Man C vs Liverpool:Aston V vs Tottenham:
3,00:4,00:6,00:
False:True:False:
Im thinking an Array for each line. Each input in the Array separated by ":". Then I would like to fill the controls in my form.
Found a post from .paul. so it should probably be something like this:
Public Class Form1
Dim lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines("c: estfolder1 est.txt")
Dim textboxes() As TextBox = {TextBox1, TextBox2}
Dim checkboxes() As CheckBox = {CheckBox1, CheckBox2}
[Code]....
I am trying to create a log file which I am going to use to populate some controls (DataGridView or Treeview). I am trying to figure out if should use text files or XML files to do so. Effectively the log will highlight multiple phases in a client-side app. The log will be written to at various phases when the project is running. The user will always have the options move on to the next phase or save progress and exit the project. As such, I want the log file to highlight how far the user has progressed throught the various phases AND I want the log to highlight varous information from each phase. Whenever the user starts the project, they will be given the option to load existing log files. So the project will have to read these log files and append them where necessary as the user progresses.
I am not sure what the best way to do this is and below is a rudimentary approach using text files. As you can see, the top of the file would have a summary of all the phases and whether or not the user completed each phase. Next each phase would have a data section highlighting what data was stored along the way. I have used a ":" to denote each section. Then within each section I would obviously need to use a delimeter for all my data. So if Phase1 = True, then I would load all the pertinent data from "Phase1:" into the desired control. Can anyone provide an efficient way of doing this and provide some insight as to whether I should use XML instead. The phases my change during development and I am not sure yet which controls I will be using. Does XML provide more flexibility.
In summary I am looking to create, read/write and append log files and populate controls with the data in varous sections of the log file. Example:
Phase1 = True
Phase2 = True
Phase3 = False
Phase4 = False

I save all the form controls(texboxes,Labels) with name and location in a XML file.
I want to retrive the XML file into a form(Reloading) with the same controls.
Reading a .txt file in VB.net. My file path is C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt.
This is my line of Dim LoanOptionsFile As String = "C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt"
I can read the file when I run the program, but how do I write the file path so that someone else can download my program and file and read the file on their system?
I have a form that with a list of text boxes. My target is simply binding these controls to an XML file so that whenever the file contents are changed externally, the text box values change dynamically. I will have an external application edit the XML file and overwrite the existing one.

M48
METRIC,LZ
VER,1
FMAT,2
DETECT,ON
[CODE]..............
I must read the file scan for value T250,T169,T168,T170,T176............which ever value start with T after the line"DETECT,ON". then i must sort these values so that it will be in acending order. Then i must write back that values in same text file after the line FMAT,2.. Now i can read the lines which contain T. Then i store that lines in array. My code shows error when i used sort methode to sort the array which i store in array.
This is my code
Dim filename As String = strFileName
Dim i As Long = 0
[CODE]...........
The sort methode give me this error "Overload resoulation failed because no accessible 'sort' can be called with these argument". Why it shows this error and how i write back the value after sort. Can i use append Text methde.

I'm writing an application for my Smartphone (OS is WM6 pro .NET Compact framework 3.5). Up till now i used VB6 so i'm pretty new to VB2008.
The application needs to store a set of items in a text file located on the device and retrieve them back. Since WM 6.0 doesn't support MS Access databases i have to work with the old fashion text files to store and retrieve my data. However since i'm new to VB2008 (and given the limitations of writing a smartphone application) I would llike to know how to write and read data to and from a text file.
I just had a small question regarding reading and writing a text file.I have a program that reads lines out of a text file and writes them out to a new version of the file, changing text in there (same amount of digits).But the new file it creates is smaller than the original file, although the contents looks the same.

Inside a form, I would like to display a pdf file which is already available in my resources (template file "untitled"). In this pdf file, I have some fields which get their values from some texboxes in another form. My aim is, when the user triggers the button to call this form, it should insert the values inside the pdf file and display the output pdf inside the form.I have written the code to an extend but could not finish it myself after my many trials... Now here are the two things I cannot manage:I can use a directory to read the template pdf "untitled1.pdf". But my aim is to use the file inside my resources. can save the output file in a directory but this is not I want to do. I want to display the output pdf.
View 1 RepliesI would like to create a filepath and assign it to a string (so that it can have yet more added to it later on in my program) the code takes (well i want it to but it doesn't) the name of a drive selected previously and then adds this to a string to create a string variable that refers to a file. and then (as usual) i want to use thes files and display them in a combobox but i want to only select files that have a pre selected 2characters at the front.

I've been making a program whereby users names and numbers must be stored in external files. At the moment I can get the names to read and write to a file with these lines:
Imports System.IO
Public Class frmDefaultMenu
Private Sub frmDefaultMenu_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code].....
Where each line has a name, a seaparator (,) and then the corresponding number.
When the program loads I would like it to be able to access that file, and store all the names into an array named ExistingUsers() and all the Numbers into an array called ExistingNumbers(), and then when a new name is added in the textbox, it is assigned the number "100" and placed at the end of the array, then when the application quits OR straight away, the external files are updated.
