read from .txt

[Spot_1337]

Hello,

i'm trying to save checkbox.checkstate like in this code

Dim sound As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\Alarm\" + "Sound.txt")
            sound.WriteLine(CheckBox1.CheckState)
            sound.Close()

            Dim shutdown As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\Alarm\" + "Shutdown.txt")
            shutdown.WriteLine(CheckBox2.CheckState)
            shutdown.Close()

and it works fine, just that when i read it it will just read checkbox1 not checkbox2.
Read code

Dim soundread As New System.IO.StreamReader("C:\Alarm\" + "Sound.txt")
            Dim sr As String
            sr = soundread.ReadLine
            If sr = "1" Then
                CheckBox1.CheckState = CheckState.Checked
                If sr = "0" Then
                    CheckBox1.CheckState = CheckState.Unchecked
                    soundread.Close()

                    Dim shutdownread As New System.IO.StreamReader("C:\Alarm\" + "Shutdown.txt")
                    Dim sdr As String
                    sdr = soundread.ReadLine
                    If sdr = "1" Then
                        CheckBox2.CheckState = CheckState.Checked
                        If sdr = "0" Then
                            CheckBox2.CheckState = CheckState.Unchecked
                            shutdownread.Close()

writer.WriteLine(ColorDialog1.Color.ToARGB())

colr = colorread.ReadLine
colrArgb = Convert.ToInt32(colr)
Form2.BackColor = Color.FromARGB(colrArgb)

            If sr = "0" Then CheckBox1.CheckState = CheckState.Unchecked
            soundread.Close()

            sdr = soundread.ReadLine
            If sdr = "1" Then CheckBox2.CheckState = CheckState.Checked
            If sdr = "0" Then CheckBox2.CheckState = CheckState.Unchecked
            shutdownread.Close()

You needed to close the Ifs (Or what I did, which makes the entire If one line)

This is completely offtopic but i always use If Checkbox1.Checked = true

just funny how you can do things in many diferent ways.

Also, what kinda program you making?

Also, since you're doing GUI settings saves, just use the built in Settings stuff.

Click your control you want to have a setting saved for -> Properties -> ApplicationData -> Settings can be changed from here. (I.E: Checkboxes have a Checked setting you can save, etc.)

I don't remember if you need to in VB, but for safety's sake, create a new event handler for Form_Closing(...) and add Properties.Settings.Default.Save() in there just to make sure your settings save before closing the app. (I know it's required in C#.)

No need to do any extra work, etc.
