I been working on this thing all day today, and I finally gave up and decided to ask for help from you guys. Basically, whenever I hit Add, it just doesn't write in a text file.

fListView.Items.Add(fname.Text).SubItems.Add(femail.Text)

        Try

            w = New IO.StreamWriter(System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) & "/flist.txt", True)

            Dim ii As Integer
            Dim line As String = r.ReadLine
            For ii = 0 To fListView.Items.Count - 1
                w.WriteLine(fListView.Items.Item(ii).Text & ":" & fListView.Items.Item(ii).SubItems.Item(ii).Text)
            Next
            w.Close()

        Catch
        End Try

I am using Listview that has 2 columns.

What am I doing wrong?

imports system.io

dim w as streamwriter
dim Txtfile as string
 Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
       
        ListView1.Items.Add(fname.Text).SubItems.Add(femail.Text)

        Try

            TxtFile = "C:\Temp\kai.txt"
            w = File.CreateText(TxtFile)

           

            Dim ii As Integer

            For ii = 0 To ListView1.Items.Count - 1



                w.WriteLine(ListView1.Items.Item(ii).Text & "  :  " & ListView1.Items.Item(ii).SubItems.Item(1).Text)

            Next ii

            w.Close()



        Catch

        End Try

    End Sub

Within your loop I assume you want to refer to the first sub-item:

w.WriteLine(fListView.Items.Item(ii).Text & ":" & fListView.Items.Item(ii).SubItems.Item(1).Text)

but I haven't looked beyond this.

Personally, I would leave the Try..Catch statement for a while as, initially, you want to see all error messages.

Well, it worked for the first time, but then I get another error saying that it is being used already. I already did w.Close and other Stream close, like r.Close, but it wouldn't work. Any suggestion?

I will assume that "it" refers to the StreamWriter or StreamReader.

Try a w.Dispose and r.Dispose, then when you want to Write or Read again, use New ones.

Koolazngy, kai_itz_me answered your question, I think. Your code for adding items should be nested within a button click event handler, otherwise, there's nothing telling the program when to add items. The code you posted doesn't show a button_click event handler.

I just got it to work.

Thank you kai_itz_me for fixing the code up, and thank you lar3ry for suggesting to put w.close()/r.close() before and not after. It works like a charm!

The Using blocks are great for this type of work.

Using sw As New StreamWriter(...)
  'do stuff
End Using 'stream is closed and disposed here.
