I have 3 records in a text file called cvsAcctInfo.txt. I would like to read
these three lines and put them into an array which happens to be a defined
object. When I do this, it creates an array of 3 records; however, all three
arrays have the same information for the LAST account (3rd line in text
file).
Dim accounts(50) As Account 'bankAcct is an object of class Account
Dim count As Integer 'keeps track of the array index
'used to parse out the data in cvsAcctInfo.txt
Dim recordLine As String
Dim acctRecord()
Dim field0, field1, field2, field3, field4 As String
Dim bankAcct As New Account 'create an instance of Account
Do While (sr.Peek <> -1)
recordLine = sr.ReadLine
acctRecord = recordLine.Split(";")
field0 = acctRecord(0) : field1 = acctRecord(1) : field2 = acctRecord(2)
field3 = acctRecord(3) : field4 = CDbl(acctRecord(4))
'reads account Name
bankAcct.name = field0
cboSelectAcct.Items.Add(bankAcct.name) <--- this works!
'reads account type
bankAcct.type = field1
'reads bank name
bankAcct.bankName = field2
'reads account number
bankAcct.number = field3
'reads account balance
bankAcct.balance = field4
*** note, if I list out each record here into a listBox, they list out
correctly ****
accounts(count) = bankAcct <-- somthing is going wrong here
count += 1
Loop
Now that I have the array, I want to get the balance based on what was
selected in a combo box... so I would do something like
txtBalance.text = accounts(cboSelectAcct.SelectedIndex).balance
but of course it doesn't work because all balances are the same for each
record in my array. If anyone can help, it will be appreciated!
