How to import text data to a specific textbox

[at51178]

Hi,

I created a form that exports my textbox values to a text file now I am looking to import the information back from the text file to the textbox on my form is there a way to do this.
Below you will find the code I used to export the data

Any help would be appreciated
Thank You

-- Code --


Dim oFile As System.IO.File
Dim oWrite As System.IO.StreamWriter
oWrite = oFile.CreateText("C:\sample.txt")
oWrite.WriteLine("{0,10}{1,10}{2,25}", "Last Name", "First Name", "Age")
oWrite.WriteLine("{0,10}{1,10}{2,25}", Me.txtLastName.Text, Me.txtFirstName.Text, Me.txtAge.Text)
oWrite.Close()

Try using the System.IO.StreamReader object to open the file. then use one of the methods (readline, readtoend) to get the data and plug into your textbox

You can use ADO.Net to pull info out of text files. See this thread:
