Hi

I have another problem....

Im trying to write to a text file...

Well I say trying I have got it working... sort of!!

            
'**WRITES** Writes to the file
Dim StudentSW As New StreamWriter(StudentFileName, True)

StudentSW.WriteLine(TxtInputFirstName.Text, TxtInputLastName.Text, TxtInputDOB.Value, TxtInputHouseNo.Text, TxtInputAddressL1.Text)

' Closes the file
StudentSW.Close()

The problem I'm getting is its not writing all the fields to the text file. Only the first field, and I cant work out why...

I want them to appear all on the same line with a comma between each field..

The reason it is not writing as you expected, is because the WriteLine method you are trying to use does not exist.

You might want to try something like the following:

StudentSW.Write(TxtInputFirstName.Text + ",")
StudentSW.Write(TxtInputLastName.Text + ",")
StudentSW.Write(TxtInputDOB.Value + ",")
StudentSW.Write(TxtInputHouseNo.Text + ",")
StudentSW.WriteLine(TxtInputAddressL1.Text)

Or, if you really wanted to put the whole thing in one statement, you would have to use one of writelines overload methods using a formatted string.

StudentSW.WriteLine("{1},{2},{3},{4},{5}", TxtInputFirstName.Text, TxtInputLastName.Text, TxtInputDOB.Value, TxtInputHouseNo.Text, TxtInputAddressL1.Text)
