ok ! this might be hard but i need to know :(, i already see many tutorials for making notepad save/open feature but the program im making doesnt need that with dialogs i mean
i just want people to press Save it will save texbox1.text in a saved1.txt in C:/test/
and then they press open it will open saved1.txt from C:/test/saved1.txt into textbox1.text
if this is possible without dialog boxes tell me

hello #troop
you can always try it like this:
'save
Code: Select all Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamWriter("c:\test\saved1.txt")
Dim s As String = TextBox1.Text
sr.Write(s)
sr.Close()
'open
Code: Select all Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamReader("c:\test\saved1.txt")
TextBox1.Text= sr.ReadToEnd
sr.Close()

works
after watching many tutorials my brother told me to create a login system without looking in youtube, he asked me to do it with those checks, Check username chars to be + 2 and password match etc
do u like my codes guys
Code: Select all Try
If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(Loc) Then
Else
My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(Loc & "\accounts\")
End If
If txtBox3.Text.Length < 2 Then
MsgBox("Your username should be more than 2 characters!")
Else
If txtBox4.Text = Nothing Then
MsgBox("Please enter a password")
Else
Dim accLoc As String = Loc & "\accounts\" & txtBox3.Text & "\password.txt"
If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(accLoc) Then
MsgBox("Account already exist")
Else
If txtBox4.Text = txtBox5.Text Then
My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(Loc & "\accounts\" & txtBox3.Text & "\")
Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamWriter(accLoc)
Dim s As String = txtBox4.Text
sr.Write(s)
sr.Close()
MsgBox("Account successfully created, we will auto login you!")
txtBox1.Text = txtBox3.Text
txtBox2.Text = txtBox4.Text
txtBox3.Clear() : txtBox4.Clear() : txtBox5.Clear()
btnLog.PerformClick()
Else
MsgBox("Please comfirm your password")
End If
End If
End If
End If
Catch ex As Exception

It's a nice way of learning, but just don't use it to store any actual passwords :lol:
Plain text files are the least secure method for keeping confidential information.

indeed they are not good, ok for limited information but not the likes of passwords or even usernames.
when it comes to storing say save username into any of my applications i create a hex key and store it in the registry.
passwords are always base64 encrypted to my mssql server's and as an extra security feature depending on the application i write i also add a usb key so you have to have the usb device plugged in or it wont even get to the login screen :d
