all this coding will happen inside a Form, e.g. by the click off a button.
before we start, on every Form you are inluding this in you will need to add the following..
using System.IO;
right, now lets get started.
[multipage=Creating A File ]
Creating A File
add this to where ever you want, on a button or what ever.
StreamWriter SW = new StreamWriter(@"NextGenUpdate.txt", true);
you need to include the file format, as you can see i'm using the .txt which is a text file, you can add any format but you just need to know what to put at the end.
Now here's a little Add-on which i always do, what it does if there's a file already the it will delete it, i've simplified this but you can edit it and add message boxe's to say Overwrite ? ect.
if (File.Exists(@"NextGenUpdate.txt"))
{
File.Delete(@"GPAD0_MP.PRF");
StreamWriter SW = new StreamWriter(@"NextGenUpdate.txt", true);
//MessageBox to show were it's been saved.
MessageBox.Show("File has Been successfully Created\n Saved To :" + Application.StartupPath)
}
else
{ StreamWriter SW = new StreamWriter(@"NextGenUpdate.txt", true); }
so, that should of Created a Text file into the Application Start Up Path
[multipage=Reading and Writing A File ]
add this Code to a button or whatever, this is a set folder.. so if you creating for a certian file this part will show you, i will be using..
TextBox : textEditorControl1
Settings : Settings.Default.SettingName
Timer : timer1
to start, add this code a the top. note, it will need editing
using [COLOR="red"]TestForm[/COLOR].Properties;
change the TestForm to you Program Name
this will creat the percific file and inject text into it, add it someone where in the Form
InjectText()
{
StreamWriter SW = new StreamWriter(@"Tutorial.txt", true);
SW.Write(Settings.Default.SettingName);
SW.Close();
}
so, that declares that it will write what ever is the Setting, the Setting will be what is in The textBox.
you will need to go to properties and add the textBox_change Code, then add this.
{
timer1.Start();
Settings.Default.SettingName = textEditorControl1.Text;
InjectText();
}
so, thats done.
that should now update every time you time something into that text box, no need for a save button.
[multipage=Starting Up Application or Files ]
this is a small, easy but usefull code.
it allows you to open a percific file, i do this for opening an attatchment to my program.
now, you can either do it from the application start up patch which is not in a folder or within the application start up patch inside a folder.
not inside a folder
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C://" + Application.StartupPath + "/FILENAME.FORMAT");
this code will open a File inside a folder
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C://" + Application.StartupPath + "/FOLDER/FILENAME.FORMAT");
see, thats easy right ?

Even easier:
File.Delete("filepath");//delete file
byte[] buffer = File.ReadAllBytes("filepath");//reads all of the bytes in a file to a byte[]
File.WriteAllBytes("path", byte[]);//writes the byte[] to the specified post
string whatever = File.ReadAllText("path");//reads all of the text as a string into the string (char*)
/*this is how you append to a file*/
string filePath = "c:\\text.txt";
string dataToWrite = "trolololol";
File.WriteAllText(filePath, File.ReadAllText(filePath) + dataToWrite);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filePath); //Open a file with default configuration
File.Move("oldFilePath", "newFilePath"); //Move a file
The following user thanked kiwimoosical for this useful post:
