This is my code. I am trying to make it so that when an item is selected by the user in the combobox and the user presses the button, the file will transfer from my resources to the directory shown above. When I click on the first value (Anaheim), the file "anaice.png" is transferred, but then the "bosice.png" from the (Boston) value is put in and overwrites the the other image. Help please!
Try this, But I don't know if this is what you want:
private finalpath As String = "C:\hockey055f\data\model\ice0.png"
private res = nothing
private sub ComboBox_Selectedindexchanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) _
handles ComboBox1.Selectedindexchanged
Select case sender.Selectedindex
case is 0:res= My.Resources.anaice
case is 1:res= My.Resources.bosice
case else
msgbox ("select case is out of range")
end select
end sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) _
Handles Button1.Click
try:io.File.Delete(finalpath):catch:end try
res.Save(finalpath)
MsgBox("Installed!", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Installed by GoLeafsGo")
End Sub
PS: Code is written on the fly maybe it contains syntax error(s).

The input box is "not declared".
Not sure exactly why this happening and I can't figure it out.
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Do
f = InputBox("Inputs", "Enter The name Of the File.")
If f = Nothing Or f = "" Then
MessageBox.Show("Ooops!! No file name entered.")
Else
Exit Do
End If
Loop
End Sub
It appears that you didn't initialize the f variable:
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Do
Dim f As String = InputBox("Inputs", "Enter The name Of the File.")
...
Loop
End Sub
Have you initialized the form using InitializeComponent() in the constructor?
Other than that, this (more concise) code works as expected for me:
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Do
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(InputBox("Inputs", "Enter the name of the file.")) Then Exit Do
MessageBox.Show("Oops!! No file name entered.")
Loop
End Sub
I'd check your references. And turn Option Strict On in any case to highlight any type/declaration issues.
Hi I'm creating a "Toilet paper tracker" on visual basic and I'm struggling with saving and reading files, I know I am missing stuff. The user should be able to login and input a threshold and when reached a warning will pop up saying "buy more toilet paper" (i haven't coded this yet) and the user can add to create a total and subtract from it too. The user should also be able to save the total to a file and I want the program to be able to read the file and change the total if the user wants to add or subtract again. It would be greatly appreciated if you pointed me in the right direction, I'm only young so it's relatively simple. Here is my program :)
Imports System.IO
Public Class frmTPT
Private Sub TPT_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

You didn't mention if you were using .Net Core or 4.x. If the later, you can sometimes use the Insert Snippet functionality to learn how to do common tasks. For example in this case you could right click in the code editor and select Insert Snippet then Fundamentals then File System and finally Write text to a file. This will result in the following VB code:
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:\Test.txt", "Text", True)
Unfortunately, this option doesn't work with .Net core since the My namespace wasn't ported to core.
The key point of this problem lies in reading and writing data from text. It is a clear idea to write two methods to achieve read and write.
You can refer to the following code. The two methods in the following example are WriteTotal(), ReadTotal().
Design:
Public Class Form1
Dim Oldtotal As Integer
Dim Newtotal As Integer
Private Sub btnLoadTotal_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnLoadTotal.Click
WriteTotal()
ReadTotal()
End Sub
Private Sub btnUpdateTotal_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnUpdateTotal.Click
cboChange.Text = Nothing
WriteTotal()
ReadTotal()
MsgBox("Inventory updated")
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
cboChange.SelectedIndex = 0
ReadTotal()
End Sub
Sub WriteTotal()
Using swriter As IO.StreamWriter = New IO.StreamWriter("D:/paperstore.txt", False, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
If cboChange.Text = "Add to Total" Then
Newtotal = Oldtotal + CType(txtThreshold.Text, Integer)
swriter.WriteLine(Newtotal)
ElseIf cboChange.Text = "Subtract from Total" Then
If CType(txtThreshold.Text, Integer) > Oldtotal Then
swriter.WriteLine(Oldtotal)
MsgBox("buy more toilet paper")
Else
Newtotal = Oldtotal - CType(txtThreshold.Text, Integer)
swriter.WriteLine(Newtotal)
End If
Else
swriter.WriteLine(txtTotal.Text)
End If
End Using
End Sub
Sub ReadTotal()
Using sreader As IO.StreamReader = New IO.StreamReader("D:/paperstore.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
Try
Oldtotal = sreader.ReadLine()
txtTotal.Text = Oldtotal
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End
End Try
End Using
End Sub
End Class
I have orders in text files in the debug folder and when i type the name of the order in a text box it displays the order is a list box and there is a combo box underneath where i can change the status of the meal preparation (Being prepared, ready to deliver etc,). If i go back to that form and type in the same order name into the textbox i need to previous prepartion status to be already in the textbox. Thanks for any help!
Public Class frmOrderStatus
Private Sub btnStatus_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnStatus.Click
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText(strTxtOrderNum & ".txt")
Do Until sr.EndOfStream
lstOrder.Items.Add(sr.ReadLine)
Loop
End Sub
Private Sub OrderStatus_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
lstOrder.Items.Clear()
btnStatus.Enabled = False
ChangeStatus.Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnValidate.Click
strTxtOrderNum = txtOrderNum2.Text
btnStatus.Enabled = True
ChangeStatus.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click_1(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
strSaveStatus = ChangeStatus.SelectedIndex
End Sub
Private Sub ChangeStatus_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ChangeStatus.SelectedIndexChanged

It recognizes the file; it just tells you it is in use. A Stream must be closed and disposed. I don't see the StreamReader even being closed let alone disposed. A `Using...End Using block will close and dispose of objects even if there is an error.
I just used a text file I happened to have to test.
Private strTxtOrderNum As String = "host"
Private Sub ReadFile()
Using sr As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText(strTxtOrderNum & ".txt")
Do Until sr.EndOfStream
ListBox1.Items.Add(sr.ReadLine)
Loop
End Using
End Sub
Private Sub WriteFile()
Dim strSelectedItem = ComboBox1.Text
Using swVar As IO.StreamWriter = IO.File.AppendText(strTxtOrderNum & ".txt")
swVar.WriteLine(strSelectedItem)
End Using
End Sub
I'm very frustrated trying to get my code to work.
I'm trying to have a selected item in a listbox removed also in the textbox.
Getting ready to remove text;
Removed the text;
But it's still in the textbox.
Here is my code
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
ListBox1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)
TextBox2.Text += TextBox1.Text & vbNewLine
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
ListBox1.Items.Remove(ListBox1.SelectedItem)
'
'//HOW TO REMOVE THE SELECTED TEXT IN THE LISTBOX ALSO REMOVED IN THE TEXTBOX2??
'
'
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(sender As Object, e As FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Dim filenames As String = "C:\log\log.txt"
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(filenames, TextBox2.Text, False)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim filenames As String = "C:\log\log.txt"
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(filenames) Then
TextBox2.Text = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(filenames)
Dim items()
items = TextBox2.Lines()
For Each item In items
ListBox1.Items.Add(item)
Next
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Button3_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Clipboard.SetText(ListBox1.SelectedItem)
End Sub
End Class
The worst part is that every time I try to look it up online, there are no errors until I click the button that says 'Value Cannot Be Null'
It happened every single time.
Please, before you mash the -1 button, at least tell me why. I'm new to this.
This should work for you
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Replace(ListBox1.Items(ListBox1.SelectedIndex), Nothing)
ListBox1.Items.RemoveAt(ListBox1.SelectedIndex)
End Sub
End Class
I created a simple program that reads and writes to an output file in the bin folder, it works almost perfect. btnRemove deletes the selected item in cboFriends(which is good). However, I also need btnRemove to delete text entered in the text box portion. How do i do this? I apologize in advance for the basicness of the question.
Public Class frmMain
Private Sub btnExit_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub
Private Sub frmMain_FormClosing(sender As Object, e As FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Dim outFile As IO.StreamWriter
outFile = IO.File.CreateText("MyFriends.txt")
For intIndex As Integer = 0 To cboFriends.Items.Count - 1
outFile.WriteLine(cboFriends.Items(intIndex))
Next intIndex
outFile.Close()
End Sub
Private Sub frmMain_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim inFile As IO.StreamReader
Dim strInfo As String
If IO.File.Exists("MyFriends.txt") Then
inFile = IO.File.OpenText("MyFriends.txt")
Do Until inFile.Peek = -1
strInfo = inFile.ReadLine
cboFriends.Items.Add(strInfo)
Loop
inFile.Close()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub btnAdd_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click
If cboFriends.Items.Contains(cboFriends.Text) Then
Else
cboFriends.Items.Add(cboFriends.Text())
End If
End Sub
Private Sub btnRemove_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnRemove.Click
cboFriends.Items.Remove(cboFriends.Text)
End Sub
End Class
It appears you are looking for the SelectedText property
To set it to a blank string, do the following
cboFriends.SelectedText = ""
cboFriends.SelectedText would work if the text was selected, but if i type "asdfjkl;" and then press [Remove] it does nothing.
Upon further digging cboFriends.Text = "" does the trick!
