RESOLVED save/load data in vb 2008 express

[Cybert543]

I have a set of labels that contain number values that need to be saved into a txt file and recalled from a text file by a button click event.

Ive been searching these fourms for days trying to find the answer to the save / load data problem. From what I understand, XML should be used to do this. But no matter how much I read I cant make sense out of how to solve this issue. I just need a simple and quick fix that dosen't have to use XML
any Ideas?


this code makes sense to me now.

   'To save using a SaveFileDialog
        If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            Dim w As New System.IO.StreamWriter(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, False)
            w.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text )
            w.WriteLine(TextBox2.Text)
            w.Close()
        End If

        'To read back using an OpenFileDialog
        If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            Dim r As New System.IO.StreamReader(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
            If r.Peek > -1 Then TextBox1.Text = CStr(r.ReadLine)
            If r.Peek > -1 Then TextBox2.Text = CStr(r.ReadLine)
            r.Close()
        End If

It would have been far easier to use the My.MySettings / application settings bindings..
