VB.NET - How To Save A List of Items in a listbox to a Text File - Detailed Tutorial

[@KingDrekon]

I just randomly searched the web for this solution and realized I'm already subbed to you. Great tutorial mate. Worked like a charm.

This is awesome, it worked for me. Good work. Thanks!

[@corvettezack]

a nice thing also would be to once you save (or while its saving) it creates a shortcut to desktop, and/or once saved another form ask you if you want to open tht file or print or wat.

pretty cool. My assignment now should be completed after this lovely Video.

This helped infinitely. I need to do an extrastep to a writeline method though. Text box is on a form2, while the listbox is on Form1. The listbox populates/creates a *.txt file on load. I need to be able to add the textForm2 to lstBoxForm1 and save to *.txt with a refresh of lstBoxForm1 to show original items with new item added.

Oh... come on, Andrews... You are new on this ? Man... you are already... a genius !!! Thank you, for your sharing. By the way... could we reverse the process... in order to fill the listbox (musics to play in the WMPlayer application) when we will feel like it ? This way... we could have a "permanent" list of our very special musics... all the time (instead having to reload them all again, every time we load the WMPlayer app) ! I think... YOU CAN ! Hug,

See what I am trying to do is add file locations to a listbox via an openfiledialog. Edit: Figured it out! Thanks m8! Edit2: I suggest using OBS instead, it will enable recording at a smoother fps.

And how can i make it to have the program open the text document for me again to keep adding, or managing the list?

[@GhostFire218]

@wenceslas15 you have just to count the listbox items, so : textbox.text = listbox.items.count

[@TomLyon44]

What if you've got multiple text boxes like First Name, Surname, Mobile, VIP... How would you get them to the list box as one record like John,Smith,042398408,True and save?

[@osamamedhat9687]

Dim i As Integer w = New IO.StreamWriter("C:\Users\med\Desktop\" & TextBox2.Text & ".txt") For i = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1 w.WriteLine(ListBox1.Items.Item(i)) Next w.Close() End Sub the "med" is my pc user you can write your pc user and it will start or right click on any icon in desktop choose properites and copy the location id write it here w = New IO.StreamWriter("Location id" & TextBox2.Text & ".txt") You are the best Andrews Roy :)
