I want to make a program that has 3 textboxes for inputting: Name, ID,
Amount, and then when I click "Add Item" button, it adds it to a text file,
and shows up on the list box. When I close and reopen the program, the text
file should fill the listbox with the records.
How do I do this? Is this a "Sequential Access file" ?
thanks 4 1406
Daniel,
without making things too complicated for what seems to be a relatively
simple app, why not use a database. you can use your three textboxes, bound
to three fields of a database (Access/Jet or MSDE2000 come to mind). You
could use a Grid to display the records in the DB rather than using a list
box to display lines from a text file.
you could even skip the textboxes and add the data directly to the grid.

PS - Of course, if you really want to use a text file, post back and we'll
work on this from a text file point of view.

But what if I don't have these programs?

Well, that could be a problem :-)
MSDE 2000 is free though: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de.../usingmsde.asp http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
And this is a link to a free tool for managing MSDE 2000: http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm
Though, even using a scaled back version of SQL Server, it does seem like a
bit of overkill for three fields of data, but....
it could be a great learning experience!!
Have a look at the above links. If you're interested, download and install.
If not, we'll go with the text file.
Cheers,
Lee
