save string at text file and retrieve the string it at vb.net

  you can do that indeed.

  A bit more info...once added the settings file, when you double click it, it will take you into the properties editor type screen, in here you define the settings/properties you want. Then in your code as shown simply access it via the settings class name and access your properties there. Once done, be sure you saved it via the Save() method in the settings class.

  another way:

  Dim theWriter as new System.IO.StreamWriter("file.txt")

  theWriter.Write("hello!")

  theWriter.Close()

   

  the StreamWriter is a class in the .NET Framework in the System.IO namespace which allows you to write to a file or a stream of data as its basestream source. It allows you easily to write to the stream, as shown above.

  To read it, we have a StreamReader class, does the same thing but in reverse - allows you to read from the stream by line or the entire file. To read a line:

  Dim theReader as new System.IO.StreamReader("file.txt")

  Dim singleLine as String = theReader.ReadLine()

  theReader.Close()

   

  this will read a single line from the file. To read the entire file:

   

  Dim theReader as new System.IO.StreamReader("file.txt")

  Dim entireFile as String = theReader.ReadToEnd()

  theReader.Close()

   

  be sure however the file to read does exist by using the System.IO.File.Exists() method, which will return true or false depending on if the file exists or not

  What

  I guess you want to persist a String setting.

  Go to My Project -> Settings and add a setting.

  Then in your code:

  My.Settings.MyString=MyString

  My.Settings.Save

  Then in the Form_Load method:

  MyString=My.Settings.MyString
