If you had a hardware problem with the memory, your code, not to mention Windows wouldn't even run. Ever hear of the Blue Screen of Death?? That's what you get when you have hardware RAM problems...
Look, your code is a total mess and now your making up reasons, that you don't understand yourself, for why your doing it the hard way.
I showed you how to store player information in an array of class objects and how to serialize that array out to an XML file and read it back in. The biggest problem you have right now is that you don't understand how to represent and store your games data properly. Storing your games data in a bunch of TextBoxes is NOT the way to do it. The user interface you put on that form should only be used to display the current game state that you have stored. The controls, and the code behind them, should be used to tell your game how to manipulate the game state. The should NOT be used to store the actual data!!!
By NOT storing your game's data in a well thought-out structure, that has no dependancy on user controls what-so-ever, your actually making the rest of the game 100 times harder to write, and more importantly, 100 times harder to support!

oh is it i dunno that my friend r telling me i have less ram cause low memory problem.
y i still want to find other solution cause i still havent figure out how the xml u told me.
ACtually i had already to store the data in the text file which when i check the file it was in there, and now i want to retrieve all the information and show it on the textbox, and i'm not sotring the data in the TEXTBOX because when exit the system everything sure will gone.

Entirely possible, but this has nothing to do with your problem. Actually, the way your doing it now uses more memory than doing it properly, but it's only by maybe 1-2K Bytes...

I practically wrote the bloody thing for you. Your biggest problem is how you represent data inside your application.
campbells wrote: now i want to retrieve all the information
How you wrote the file in the first place is what's making it such a pain in the a$$ to read it back in!!!

You don't have a single clue about what you're doing, do you?? I highly suggest picking up a beginners book on VB.NET. Save yourself 3 more months of beating your head against a wall getting this to work. Learn to do it the correct way from the start. Right now, you've got much bigger problems than just how to read a text file...

i dunno is it i make it hard to read or not, casue my concept is that when i able to write it then just read in line by line. cause i know wats the line going to be. i know the first line going to repsent wat data so i make it as read the second line as playername.text , which i bring the information into the box. Maybe the way i think is simple , casue normally we refer the
playerEnterName.text= Playername.text
so i do the same way, casue the maximum data i need to save is only 4 player.
maybe i think it in toooo simple way which the computer might too hard to udnerstand then.
And i only have short 1 day left to finish it..unable to take 3 month to do it...

If it was so simple, why are you here asking how to make it work?

Done correctly, you could have done it in 3 minutes. But, ahh, the truth finally comes out. This is homework, isn't it?

No, you code EXPECTS the first line to represent a certain value. It does not, and cannot, KNOW the the first line is exactly whe you expect it to be. If there is a single mistake or an extra linefeed in the file, your code will, at worst crash, and at best load the wrong data in the wrong fields, because it's totally intolerant of any mistakes in the data file. Do you absolutely KNOW that no-one will edit the data file?? No, you don't, and you can't possibly stop it.

Hello!
I've got a small problem with textboxes..
There are 4 text boxes on my form.
When the program has started the cursor always blinks in one of the four textboxes.
But I want the textboxes to display a value (at first) and not to enter one.
How can I prevent the blinking cursor to be set to a textbox??
Thanks in advance..

Textboxes are meant for the input of text data and the active one will always show a cursor.
If you don't want this and the user does not need to input any text then change the TextBox controls to Labels.
If the user must enter text at some stage then you can move the focus to another (non-TextBox) control - but the user could still move the focus back to a textbox and the cursor will reappear.

Hi Yomam,
U can try locking the textbox after displaying the value.

Hello everyone. I am trying to create a simple sudoku generator.
I have decided to use textfields.
so far i have made the generation code but what i get stuck on is how to get spaces (blanks) and how to get the solution matrix so that the numbers cant be the same in horizontal and vertical rows and the 3x3 boxes.
i am using really simple code because i am still leaning the program but i am making this as a school project
i would be really glad if i got some help in this

Use arrays to manipulate matrix.

please mail a more detailed explenation of how to set up arrays and other useful tips
|
|
|
|
|
google is a good choice here. In fact, if you need to know how to create an array, you really should be buying a book.

Creating a Sudoku generator is OK, and it is a great thing, but do not try to solve them by using computers, use your brain.

i dislike solving programs and i solve sudokus by hand frequently.

I actually find the challenge of designing algorithms to solve such puzzles is much greater than doing it by hand, especially if you apply AI concepts and use tools such as Prolog.

I've made a small code for free drawing in a pictureBox. With that, i can draw when i click-n-hold left mouse-button, release the mouse and draw anothers (without myPenWidth). But if i define myPen with the myPenWidth(if no, it's always 1 by default), there always a error "OutOfMemory" to be made when "i release my first mousedown and mousemove, and mousedown again".
Why's it happens??
This is my code:
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseDown<br />
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then<br />
mousePath.StartFigure()<br />
End If<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseMove<br />
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then<br />
PictureBox1.Image = myImg<br />
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(PictureBox1.Image)<br />
Dim myPen As Pen = New Pen(Color.Blue, myPenWidth) <br />
mousePath.AddLine(e.X, e.Y, e.X, e.Y)<br />
g.DrawPath(myPen, mousePath)<br />
End If<br />
<br />
End Sub
|
|
|
|
|
You're not Diposing your Pen and Graphics objects after you're done using them in your MouseMove event handler. If you skip this step, you'll quite easily run the system out of GDI resources and/or system handles, causing the "Out of Memory" Exception.
.
.
.
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(PictureBox1.Image)
Dim myPen As Pen = New Pen(Color.Blue, myPenWidth)
mousePath.AddLine(e.X, e.Y, e.X, e.Y)
g.DrawPath(myPen, mousePath)
myPen.Dispose()
g.Dispose()
.
.
But, since you'll using this method constantly, you might want to put creating/destroying the Pen objject outside the MouseMove handler. This way you won't be creating a new pen every time the mouse moves at least one pixel!

i've modified it following your way, but it still OutOfMemory...
hix, how can i do this?
Any more help??

You can use mousePath.AddEllipse instead of mousePath.AddLine
Private mousePath As New System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath<br />
Dim myPenWidth As Integer = 12<br />
<br />
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseDown<br />
If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then<br />
mousePath.StartFigure()<br />
End If<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseMove<br />
If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then<br />
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(PictureBox1.Image)<br />
Dim myPen As Pen = New Pen(Color.Blue, myPenWidth)<br />
PictureBox1.Image = myImage<br />
mousePath.AddEllipse(e.X, e.Y, myPenWidth, myPenWidth)<br />
g.DrawPath(myPen, mousePath)<br />
End If<br />
End Sub

You only need to start the figure the first time it is clicked as it is already started after this
This will remove the out of memory error but make it so that the next drawn line joins to the last one automatically which you'll have to look at
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseDown
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
If MousePath.PointCount = 0 Then
MousePath.StartFigure()
End If
End If
End Sub
