[C#] Writing data to a .dat file


Question

Hi!

I have a window application.

User makes some selection from different combo boxes, then when hitted the "ADD TO CART" button, the data selected will be copied to some labels next to it.

But now, i need to transfer/copy all that data from the labels to a file named: computer.dat

How do i do that? I'm really having problems with that.

I have this there:

void storeInFile(Part *d)
  	{
    FileStream file = new FileStream("computer.dat", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Read);

    for (int i=0; i<d->dataCount; i++)
    {
    	file << d->pb[i].processor <<"\n\n";
    	file << d->pb[i].memory <<"\n"<< endl; 
    	file << d->pb[i].harddrive <<"\n"<< endl; 
    	file << d->pb[i].cdrom <<"\n"<< endl;
    	file << d->pb[i].floppydrive <<"\n"<< endl; 
    	file << d->pb[i].keyboard <<"\n"<< endl; 
    	file << d->pb[i].monitor <<"\n"<< endl; 
    	file << d->pb[i].mouse <<"\n"<< endl; 
    }
    file.Close();	// close computer.dat
  	}

but im not sure if that's correct.

Please help me..:)

Thanks,

OK!

Did it!

But now i get 27 errors.

-Pointers may only be used in an unsafe context

-Only assingemtn, call, increment, decrement, and object expresions can be used as a statement

-'WindowApplication1.Form1.Part' does not contain a definition for 'pb'

And those 3 errors keep repeating like 4 more times in the Task List.

take a good long look into "FileStream" on the MSDN. hint "file <<" :no:

get rid of the pointer *d and try something else, dont worry (i did the same mistakes like that before)

Okay, thanks for the site.

it should be

comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();

where "comboBox1" is the name of your ....well combobox

opps. you said label

label1.Text.ToString()

"label1" name of your label

You could try something like this:

 ? ? ? ?void storeInFile()
 ? ? ? ?{
 ? ? ? ? ? ?// create a file stream, for "computer.dat"
 ? ? ? ? ? ?FileStream fs = new FileStream("computer.dat", FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
 ? ? ? ? ? ?// create a stream writer
 ? ? ? ? ? ?StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs);

 ? ? ? ? ? ?//write to file (buffer), where label1 and label2 are your labels.
 ? ? ? ? ? ?sw.Write(label1.Text.ToString() + Environment.NewLine);
 ? ? ? ? ? ?sw.Write(label2.Text.ToString() + Environment.NewLine);

 ? ? ? ? ? ?// flush buffer (so the text really goes into the file)
 ? ? ? ? ? ?sw.Flush();
 ? ? ? ? ? ?// close stream writer and file
 ? ? ? ? ? ?sw.Close();
 ? ? ? ? ? ?fs.Close();
 ? ? ? ?}

Doesn't the Close() do a flush as well, or is it needed to flush the stream manually? And as stated above, ToStrings() on label1/2.Text is really a waste, as the Text property is string.

Yeah. Flush() is useless immediately before Close().

Close() calls Dispose(), which calls Flush().

Why it isnt C#?

What is wrong?

It is working, what i still need it to do, is safe the selections into a .dat file and calculate the total.

The context in which you are using the << operator is OK for C++ because the ostream overloads it to write to the stream. However, the <</>> operators in C# are bitshift operators. When you create streams in C#, you use the methods on the object to read and write with them.

By the way, you can use the WriteLine method to avoid having to concatenate the Environment.NewLine to your output.

This is why I love unmanaged C++, no bull**** :)

i wouldnt say its "bull****" just another way to do things, other may find c++ "bull****" with C# here to help. Heck, the crazy VB :wacko: or assembly :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: people may look down at c++ folks

You're trying to access the labels from inside another class. You can't do that. This is a quick workaround.

A new storeInFile

  void storeInFile()
  {
   // create a file stream, for "computer.dat"
   FileStream fs = new FileStream("computer.dat", FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
   // create a stream writer
   StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);

   //write to file (buffer), where textBox1 is your text box
   sw.WriteLine(owner.label4.Text);
   sw.WriteLine(owner.label5.Text);
   sw.WriteLine(owner.label6.Text);
   sw.WriteLine(owner.label7.Text);
   sw.WriteLine(owner.label8.Text);
   sw.WriteLine(owner.label9.Text);
   sw.WriteLine(owner.label10.Text);
   sw.Write(owner.label11.Text);

   // close stream writer and file
   sw.Close();
   fs.Close();
  }

A new constructor for 'Part'

  private Form1 owner;
  public Part(Form1 Owner)
  {
  	owner = Owner;
  }

Each inheritted part will need to look like this now: (For whatever reason, we can't simply inherit constructors and ignore this crap. Go figure.)

 public class Memory : Part
 {
  public Memory(Form1 Owner) : base(Owner)
  {
  }
 }

Also, from a purely observational standpoint, why is this a windows application? This seems like something that would be much better suited to a web application.

This is a windows application, because the professor asked for it to be a windows application..

;)

and by the way, what does

  private Form1 owner;

does?

Sorry for all the questions, i really need to get this to work, but i also really want to learn from it.

C# to me, seems more interesting that C++.

    • From this very article, thought I got no source on that, I haven't been following this personally (aside knowing they did launch an ultrathin) An earlier rumor had claimed that Samsung will be increasing the production of its foldable units and will phase out the upcoming S26 Plus in favor of the S26 Edge. However, the latest news out of South Korea might make Samsung rethink its strategy.

    • Just WHY... I wonder if some executive really pushed for this to come up because of SOME REASON that bothered the dude... Or maybe so that it doesn't overlap with the OCD in some handheld, something like that?
    • OneDrive search is currently broken for many users by Taras Buria If you are trying to find a certain file in your OneDrive storage, but the service just won't give you the stuff you need, you are likely experiencing an issue that Microsoft has just confirmed. The company updated the official OneDrive documentation with a list of known bugs to clarify that the service currently exhibits problems with the search functionality. According to Microsoft, the bug affects four platforms: Windows, iOS, Android, and Web (macOS users are spared). The company says that affected users see black search results, and the storage does not return files that certainly exist (do not blame Microsoft if OneDrive cannot find the file you accidentally deleted or renamed). Fortunately, files are intact—it is just the search that cannot find them and present them to you. Another good thing is that the issue does not appear to affect 100% of users. Microsoft says only "a subset of users" experience the bug. Neowin checked a bunch of systems with personal and work OneDrive accounts, and all of them found the requested files without any issues. Unfortunately, if you are affected, there is nothing you can do at this point. Microsoft made it clear that there are no workarounds. Therefore, you will have to manually scavenge your OneDrive folders (they can now be colored!) to search for the needed file. Microsoft added that it understands how disruptive this bug could be, and it is "working with urgency" to resolve the bug as quickly as possible. You can check out the list of known OneDrive bugs and their possible workarounds in the official support document. In other news about OneDrive frustration, Microsoft recently locked out a user who was attempting to move a bunch of important data from old hard drives to OneDrive. Eighteen attempts to resolve the issue led to nothing but automated replies from Microsoft. You can read more about that wild story here.
