Hi
Can someone please help me, I'm new to visual basic.
I would like to know how does one code save or open and what file format would be best?
How do I stop the program from rounding off calculations, e.g. 12.50 to 13.00. I want it to show 12.50.
Thank you very much.
well what type of file do you want to save?
Here is an example on saving to a text file:
'Import the System.IO namespace
..
..
Dim theStreamWriter as new StreamWriter(Application.StartupPath & "\filename.txt")
theStreamWriter.Write("hello!")
theStreamWriter.Close()
to append to the file, set the second parameter of the StreamWriter constructor to "true"
to load a file:
Dim theStreamReader as new StreamReader(Application.StartupPath & "\filename.txt")
dim theText as string = theStreamReader.ReadToEnd()
theStreamReader.Close()
would read everything into a string. It depends what you wish to do.
how are you rounding off calculations? IF you are using Math.Round then this is what it will do.
Examples are some of the best way to learn. Check out some of the VB/C# examples
examples as found in the Starter Kits Visual Studio 2005
tasks to more involved tasks for winforms, web development
etc.
