Save Game Info and Read Info Later

[I Hate My Computer]

Hi,
I was wanting to make a game with the ability to save the level and the score. I would also like it to be able to load that saved game. Lastly I would like it to be able to save a high score list and display it later. If you can help I need this before 5/28/07.

Thanks

Quick help is greatly appreciated!

Haven't we done this before ;)
To quote Killer from last time:
"Sounds an interesting idea. I hope it works out.

However, we generally expect people to work out what they want to do, and make some attempt at it. Then, when you have specific questions about points where you get stuck we can help with the how.

What have you achieved so far on this project?"

Is this still in VBA?

This is now VB Express 2005.

So far I have found this code:

Dim TextVar As String
 
Sub Form_Load()
 
End Sub
 
Sub Command1_Click()
TextVar = Text1.text'Saves the text string into a variable
Open "AnyFileYouWant.TXT" for output as #1
Write #1, TextVar'or you can save without having quotes in your file
'by replacing the word write with the word print
'but you can only save a line not a whole bunch of lines
close #1
 
End Sub
 
Sub Command2_Click()
Open "AnyFileYouWant.txt" for input as #1
do until EOF(1)
input #1, TextVar
text1.text = TextVar
loop
close #1
End Sub
 
Sub Text1_Change()
 
End Sub

I don't understand where this saves the file. Can anyone tell me? I also want to know if using this code if I can save different text boxes on different lines and only overwrite certain lines.

You'll need to use StreamWriter's and StreamReader's in .Net. It's explained at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304427
