Visual Basic savefile error
« on: December 13, 2011, 11:33:59 am »
Hello

I'm experimenting a little bit with visual basics, as we have to learn the basics for school (but i'm going much further of course xp hmm, or maybe i want, but it won't work) and i'm stuck

i'm trying and trying to get the saveDialogBox working, but everytime i want to create a new file, it gives an error and quits the program.. here's the code:
Code: [Select]

    Private Sub ToolStripButton4_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton4.Click
        SaveFileDialog1.Filter = "Nspire Lua files (*.lua)|*.lua|txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
        SaveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2
        SaveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = True
        SaveFileDialog1.CreatePrompt = True
        SaveFileDialog1.OverwritePrompt = True
        SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
        SaveFileDialog_FileOK(ToolStripButton4, AcceptButton)
    End Sub

    Private Sub SaveFileDialog_FileOK(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveFileDialog1.FileOk
        Dim myStream As IO.Stream
        Dim SaveName As String
        ' If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
        myStream = SaveFileDialog1.OpenFile()
        SaveName = SaveFileDialog1.FileName
        My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(SaveName, addText.Text, False)
        myStream.Close()
        ' End If
    End Sub

and this is the error screen


also saving to another file than the original does not work, where's my mistake?

Thanks in advance!
Nick

According to the error you're getting in the exception message box, you have that file open somewhere else. I'm a little rusty on my Visual Basic, but something like this should work for you: (this is the way I normally do it, if I don't split into other methods)
Code: [Select]
Private Sub ToolStripButton4_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton4.Click
    Dim save As New SaveFileDialog
    save.Filter = "Nspire Lua files (*.lua)|*.lua|txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
    save.FilterIndex = 2
    save.RestoreDirectory = True
    save.CreatePrompt = True
    save.OverwritePrompt = True
    If save.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.Ok Then
        System.IO.StreamWriter writer
        Using writer As New System.IO.StreamWriter(save.FileName)
            writer.Write(addText.Text)
        End Using
    End If
End Sub

EDIT: What "Using" does is if the class you specify to "Use" is disposable, then all of the cleanup will be handled for you (i.e. closing, disposing, etc.)
