Declaration expected 1

[mancroft]

Hello

I have added a new windows form to the project and put in the lines (see below) BUT this line here:

 mywriterdefaultsettings.WriteLine("TWO")

generates an error "Declaration expected"

Any idea as to the cure?

Thank you.

Public Class defaultsettings

 Dim thestringstart2 As String = ""
 Dim thestringend2 As String = "defaultsettings.txt"
 Dim thefilepath2 As String = thestringstart2 & thestringend2

 Dim myfilestream2 As New System.IO.FileStream(thefilepath2, IO.FileMode.Append, IO.FileAccess.Write)

 Dim mywriterdefaultsettings As New System.IO.StreamWriter(myfilestream2)

 mywriterdefaultsettings.WriteLine("TWO")

End Class

Try changing:

Dim mywriterdefaultsettings As New System.IO.StreamWriter(myfilestream2)


to:

Public Shared mywriterdefaultsettings As New System.IO.StreamWriter(myfilestream2)


Hope this helps.

The line in question should be placed in a function, sub or property. The complier is looking for declarations in the section you have it currently.
Hope this helps

This works... duh!

Public Sub defaultsettings(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
mywriterdefaultsettings.WriteLine("INSIDE TWO")
End Sub
