C# question please

tincat

Hi,

Hi,

I'm trying to write a sign up sheet where people will add their name and age, and then it will get saved to a text file with a date. Each time the program runs, it will append the name and age to the existing records on the text file. The first time the program runs, it should create the text file.

I'm trying to adapt the following bit of code that I was given, but it isn't working correctly.

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction, or give me some working code? Many thanks

string MyFile = @"C:\MyFile.txt"; // File name

StreamWriter MyFile1 = new StreamWriter(MyFile, true);

for (int j = 1; j < 5; j++) // write lines.
MyFile1.WriteLine("Read {0}", j);
MyFile1.WriteLine("This is the end");
MyFile1.Close(); // close the file
Console.WriteLine("File written, then closed.");
Console.ReadLine(); // Pause to see output

I have got 'using System.IO;' in the top fields

just bumping

Looks fine to me, in what way isn't it working correctly? If you get an exception, please post the details. The StreamWriter constructor you're using is fine (will create the file if it doesn't already exist). If it does exist, it just appends to the file.

On a side note, formatting-wise, you could make the code a bit more readable if you enclose the for loop block within brackets:

for(.....)
{
MyFile1.WriteLine(.....);
}

Improved readability = improved maintainability

Dont write the to the root of the drive the .net framework doesn't usually have access to it. (esp under win7/vista)

DateTime.Now is always useful

tincat

When I run the program, the console stays blank, and afterwards, the exception error is 'Access to the path 'C:\MyFile.txt' is denied.'

It says to make sure I have sufficient privileges to access this resource', and to make sure the file isn't 'read only'.

Thank you both for helping so far

PS, I'm using Microsoft Visual C# 2008, on Vista

Hi Tincat, dont forget to flush the StreamWriter once finished and put it in a try catch block;

Hi, you can’t write to root C:\ during debug unless you use elevated permissions or disable the silly Vista UAC.
If you compile the app and run the app as administrator etc it should be fine, C# can't circumvent the Windows security.
Or create a unique folder with full control from your user account.

RobTang

You can actually run visual studio or express as an administrator (right click run as admin) and it give you raised permissions when debugging.

Welllllll the "politically correct" way is to use the using statement

[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]using[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] ([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#2b91af][SIZE=2][COLOR=#2b91af]StreamWriter[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] MyFile1 = [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]new[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#2b91af][SIZE=2][COLOR=#2b91af]StreamWriter[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2](MyFile, [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]true[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]))[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]{[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#008000][SIZE=2][COLOR=#008000]// do stuff[/COLOR][/SIZE]
[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]}[/SIZE]

This will automatically call the dispose method in case you forget, or say have complex write code if you branch it off into multiple sub-methods, and you can call close if your really paranoid.... in fact you should use using for everything that uses unmanaged resources.

you could also use the application startup path -

For a Windows Form -

String MyFile = Application.StartupPath + [URL="file://\\Myfile.txt"]\\Myfile.txt[/URL];

For Console Application -

Using System.Diagnostics;

string MyFile = Path.GetDirectoryName(Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName)+"\\MyFile.Txt";

JG007

also i you do wish to write programs which may require elevated permissions have a look at this link -

http://www.professionalvisualstudio.com/blog/2007/10/05/enabling-your-application-for-uac-on-vista/

This also does not seem to be for all versions of visual studio so if not showing you may be able to do it by righ clicking the project selecting ' Add ' , ' New Item' and adding an ' Application manifest ' then just open the manifest and it is pretty straighforward , just edit the line -

<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />


copy of the manifest file -

TBH the whole thing would be better in an SQL DB, more of an interesting exercise.
