Check if data exist in file - vb.net

Question

I need help. I want to check if user exists by entering their ic number and I want to display another rest of their data by using file in visual basic. Unfortunately, an error occurs while doing that. I need help. If the user exists, then It will display automatically name, email, address and so on but if a user doesn't exist, then it shows message box. Here I attached the image of the display screen and the code. Please help me. Thank you.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
Dim userFile As String = "C:\Users\HP\Desktop\userdata.txt"
Dim inputFile As String
If System.IO.File.Exists(userFile) = True Then
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(userFile)
Dim intIc As Integer
Dim intCount As Integer = 0
Dim strName As String
Dim strEmail As String
Dim intPhoneNum As String
Dim strAdd1 As String
Dim strAdd2 As String
Dim intPostcode As String
Dim strState As String
Do While objReader.Peek() <> -1
intIc(intCount) = Convert.ToInt64(objReader.ReadLine())
If (intIc(intCount).Convert.ToInt64(objReader.ReadLine())) Then
strName(intCount) = objReader.ReadLine()
strEmail(intCount) = objReader.ReadLine()
intPhoneNum(intCount) = Convert.ToInt32(objReader.ReadLine())
strAdd1(intCount) = objReader.ReadLine()
strAdd2(intCount) = objReader.ReadLine()
intPostcode(intCount) = Convert.ToInt32(objReader.ReadLine())
strState(intCount) = objReader.ReadLine()
lblName.Text = strName
lblEmail.Text = strEmail
lblNum.Text = intPhoneNum
lblAdd1.Text = strAdd1
lblAdd2.Text = strAdd2
lblPostcode.Text = intPostcode
lblState.Text = strState
objReader.Close()
Else
MessageBox.Show("User Does Not Exist")
End If
intCount = intCount + 1
Loop
Else
MessageBox.Show("File Does Not Exist")
End If
End Sub
End Class

Your task, the easy way:
make a new project
add a DataSet to this new project
open the DataSet, in the properties call it something sensible
Right click the surface, add a new datatable, name it Person
Right click the datatable, add a column, name it IC. Right click, add column, name it Name. Keep going until you added all the fields you want to track(email,phone,address1 etc)
save the DataSet
open the form
show the datasources window (view menu.. other windows)
expand the nodes til you can see Person
click the drop down next to Person, switch from DataGridview to Details
drag Person onto the form. Text boxes, labels etc appear. In the tray at the bottom more things appear
add a textbox to the form and call it searchTextBox
add a search button to the form, double click it, add this line of code to the click handler:
personBindingSource.Filter = '[ic] LIKE '" & searchTextBox.Text & "'"
If personBindingSource.Count = 0 Then MessageBox.Show("No records")
double click the form background to add a form load event handler, put this line of code:
If IO.File.Exists("data.xml") Then .ReadXml("data.xml")
switch back to designer, single click the form background and switch to event properties of the form, add a handler to the form closing event:
.WriteXml("data.xml")
That's it, you now have a program that will open, read and fill the DataSet with data from the data.xml file, it will search it when you type something in the ic box, the text boxes use databinding to show values automatically, and when you close the program it will save updates data. The only task now is to load the xml file with data.
When the textboxes were added to the form you should also have seen a bar appear across the top with some left/right controls in and a green plus. Click the green plus, type some data in, click it again, type more data. Navigating back, if you're adding new data, will commit the data. If you're looking at existing data, editing it then navigating will commit it
After you added some data, you can search for existing data using the search box. When you've searched for a single value it should be the only thing shown and the nav will show "1 of 1". To get back to the mode where all data is showing, put a single asterisk in the search box and hit search; it should show the number records in the top bar and you can scroll them with the arrows.
If you already have lots of data in a file, like you use in your question, you can read it in a loop (like you do in your question, except don't use that code exactly cos it has loads of errors) as a one time thing and assign it into the datatable, or you can manipulate it directly into being XML in a text editor. This is easy to do if you have a capable text editor but I'll not offer any particular advice on it in case you don't have a large amount of existing data. Ask a new question if you do
