How Do I Save Files To .txt In Vb.net

foto51
Hello, I have a project that I am doing. I have a list box that you can enter data in, and I need it to have the ability to save that list into a text file (Names.txt). The txt file should have each entry on it's own line. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure about Vb.Net, I haven't touched it in couple of years, but I can give you code, how it would look in VB6, and you can go from there:

CODE

Dim i As Long

Open "Names.txt" For Output As #1
For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
Print #1, List1.List(i)
Next i
Close #1


And that's it... I believe it should be fairly simple in Vb.Net too... Probably very similar...

OK, I'm sure you already found what you were looking for, but I'll post an example code, of how to write text files in VB.NET... Maybe someone in the future would find it usefull:

CODE
Imports System
Imports System.IO

Public Class Form1
  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim f As StreamWriter, i As Long, obj As Object
    For i = 1 To 10
      ListBox1.Items.Add("Item " & i.ToString)
    Next i
    f = New StreamWriter("C:\Test.txt")
    For i = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
      f.WriteLine(ListBox1.Items.Item(i).ToString)
    Next i
    f.Close()
  End Sub
End Class


That's the full working code, just copy and paste it in your project, and voila... Hope it helped a bit smile.gif

  7. Do Not Conceal! Just Confess
    Christ alone can save the sinner (2)
    People do not like to hear about their sins, nor do they like to be called as sinners. Let me
    narrate a story which strongly reveals to us the awfulness of sin. “A church officer came to
    talk to the church minister one day about sin. He said to the minister, ‘Sir, we of the
    congregation wish you would not talk so much or so plainly about sin. We feel that if our boys and
    girls hear you discus the subject so much, they will all the more easily become sinners. Why
    don’t you call it a ‘mistake’ or ‘poor judgment’ – but ple....

    felt the need of charity in our hearts and have we prepared ourselves to lend a helping hand?
    Unfortunately, those of us who are left with surplus still want to build up treasures for us and our
    children. In short we make an idol out of money. Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish born American
    industrialist who made a great fortune in Steel business said, “No idol is more debasing th....

    form data as a .CSV file. Now I was wondering if you can do the same with a .CSV file as you do
    with a MySQL databse, ie. displaying the data in that file on a web page which adjusts automatically
    as data are added to the file. To clarify: eg. if I make a form to sign a petition online, the data
    are saved to a .CSV file every time someone fills in the form, is it now possibl....
