FSO and Cussing

[Rachel]

Hi All:

I have been reading and hearing you cuss over that many of you do not use
scripting and the File System Object for opening and closing forms. Since
this is the only way that I know how to code for opening and closing form in
both VB.net and VB 6, would someone please enlighten me as to how to check to
see if a file exists, open a text file and read it's contents into a database
in VB.net code? If
there is a newer better way of doing this I would appreciate learning.

If System.IO.File.Exists(path) Then
End If

' Open the stream and read it back.
Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader
Try
sr = System.IO.File.OpenText("c:\test.txt")

Dim s As String
s = sr.ReadLine
Do While Not s = Nothing
Debug.WriteLine(s)
s = sr.ReadLine
Loop

Finally
sr.Close()
End Try

File.OpenText Method

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...nTextTopic.asp

Remarks:
This method is equivalent to StreamReader(String).

This always confused me at first.

Ken:

Thanks for your help. This method works for file and folder exists and
creating folders and files. Do you have any ideas of how I could do this?

strNameOfFile = fso.GetFileName(SaveFileDialog.FileName)
