Loop problem at runtime

[jcrouse]

Here is my code:

Dim sr1 As StreamReader = New StreamReader(Ap plication.Start upPath &
"\Controls.ini" )

strGameExists = "no"

intCheck = 0

Do

strLine = sr1.ReadLine()

intCheck = InStr(strLine, "[" & strParentName & "]")

If intCheck > 0 Then

strGameExists = "yes"

End If

Loop Until intCheck > 0 Or strLine Is Nothing

sr1.Close()

If strGameExists = "yes" Then

do something

else

do something else

End if
The code works great in the debugger. It finds the string, sets
strGameExists to "yes" and executes my code. However, at runtime it always
executes my do something else code. Am I missing something here?

Thank you,
John

BTW, out of curiousity... any reason why you're using a .ini file instead
of an app.config file?

An app.config is in XML so it's much easier to read from.

Terry,

That doesent answer the OP's questions Lucas.

However in my opinion not forbidden to ask, this is a newsgroup meant to
learn from each other. Everybody can has a reason why he use an INI file
instead of an XML file so how more reasons you know how better it is to make
own decisions in that.

Just my thought about a newsgroup.

Sure, I was just pointing out that some help along with the question would
have been nice !

Actually, a better reply would have been ( And this includes mine ) along
the lines.

1.) Here is how to look at your problem/slove it.

2.) Did you know, there are several other ways to store information about
x,y,z, here they are. . .

As we try to do it, however when someone has no solution however is curious
why?

Maybe he is curious for himself because everybody has told that an XML file
is better and now there is somebody who stays with the INI file so he wants
to know why, just for is own purpose.

However basicly we agree, (in what I had no doubt)

An app.config is in XML so it's much easier to read from.

I doubt that it's easier to read. It's much more complicated to parse.

It simply doesn't matter. Every post that adds something to the
discussion is valuable, irrespective of its completeness.
