Saving user input in VB - vb.net

Question

At the start of my VB application I am asking user to type his email and password into two text boxes. If login will be successful, I would like to save entered email and password as a Login.txt file into relative directory. I would like to overwrite all old info in the file.
I would like that every time the application starts; it will read this Login.txt file and displays email and password back in same two text boxes, so user do not need to type it every time he is doing Login.
What is the right code for this?
Thank you for help.

Answer 1

First of all you need to follow #Plutonix comment steps,
you can create two new settings as string type and select "user" scope (not application), and also ensure to keep empty the default values.
So in your code to save the values everytime when you want you can do this:
My.Settings.Email = EmailTextBox.text
My.Settings.Pass = PassTextBox.text
And to load the values:
EmailTextBox.text = My.Settings.Email
PassTextBox.text = My.Settings.Pass

I have been using this method for along time and i think it would help you.
When you open up VB double click in the soloution explorer "My Project"
It will come up with tabs along the side of the window you need to click the settings tab. It will come up with a table and one of the rows will have the name "settings" in it. In your case you want to name it "email" then press enter. Another row will appear again change the name from "settings" to "Password" then press enter. When you have done this part this is the coding part:
CODING:
Textbox1.text = my.settings.email
Textbox2.text = my.settings.password
My.settings.save
Ok so that is the coding out of the way
All you need to do now is insert the coding from above into the coding of the button you want to click to remember the details.
Then after you have done that step click debug or the play button or the (f5) key.
Hope this works for you i will edit it if it doesn't
thanks

hope that the following reference will give solution for your problem
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
pth = "d:\user_login"
If Directory.Exists(pth) = False Then
Directory.CreateDirectory(pth) 'create a folder in the path is no such folder is existing
End If
End Sub
this will create a directory in your D: drive at first run
Private Sub login_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles login.Click
' works like session veriables
uname = username.Text ' store user name to a public verible for future reference till the application restarted
pwd = pasword.Text ' store password to a public verible for future reference till the application restarted
'save user name and password as small text file for future reference
'Dim rtc As New RichTextBox
rtc.Clear() ' clear the rtc content
rtc.Text = "Username :" & username.Text & Chr(13) & "Password :" & pasword.Text 'create a text document and write values on it
rtc.SaveFile(pth & "\" & Now.Month.ToString & Now.Day & "_" & Now.Hour.ToString & "_" & Now.Minute.ToString & ".txt") 'save the document in the above path with current date and time as name
End Sub
