Hello there coders, ihave found alot of information of how to do this for vb6 however i am using vb 2008 and the code for vb6 does not seem to work.

I have designed a form with a text box on it, and a command button underneath. The idea is to run this as a sort of stiky notes section.

I want the text box to read rich text into the textbox (C:\\stickynotes.rtf")

Then i have a command button underneath which i want to save the content of the rich text box to the rtf file (C:\\stickynotes.rtf). This is so that the user can edit and ammend information.


I hope somone can help me with this i am mega confused

here is some code i have so far

Dim fileReader As System.IO.StreamReader
		fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileReader("C:\\stickynotes.rtf")

StreamReader has a ReadToEnd method that will read the file. So all you need to do is load it into a TextBox. Give it a try and see what you come up with. We are always here to help.

StreamReader..::.ReadToEnd Method

Why not use a richtextbox instead of a textbox.
You can then read in the text with:

 RichtextBox1.LoadFile(Filename, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText)

and save:

RichtextBox1.SaveFile(Filename, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText)

a easy way to open a text file to a richtextbox or a textbox in vb20008 is

dim read as new io.streamreader("file")
textbox1.text=read.readtoend
read.close

or if u want to start a textfile in the default text editor / Reader

system.diagnostic.process.start("file")

god luck
