Firstly, I doubt it will do what you want: the "text" it is talking about is probably the title, rather than the content. Windows can draw anything they like into themselves, it doesn't have to be related to any string based data.
Secondly, there is no "simple code" for this job: it's complicated for a reason, which is that it's a complicated task! I suspect that for what you want, it'll be even more complicated becuase you are goign to have to get involved with OCR and all sorts.

And thirdly, Babylon is an ancient city: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon[^] - and an important one.
It's also a browser hijacker toolbar, a former Iraqi project for the construction of superguns, a darknet market seized by law enforcement in July 2015, a design for space stations on TV, a strong and powerful (yet corrupted and immoral place) in Rastafarian religion, ... it may be a dictionary as well, but that's not its major claim to fame!

It's not as simple as that: it the control is part of your app it's simple, but if it isn't then there may not be any accessible string component. Windows doesn't work like that - for example, Word is not a huge multi line text box, it draws a "chunk" of text from a tree of non-displaying class items which may or may not expose any text internally, much less externally.

What you want to do is not simple: it's extremely complicated and may only be possible if you take a "picture" of the window and use OCR to convert it to text.

What are you talking about? I have no idea which LineControl you are talking about: what namespace should it be in, what does it do, how are you trying to use it? What environment is your app supposed to run for?

If you mean in WinForms ...

Add a Label control to your form.
Set Label Text to empty.
Set BorderStyle to Fixed3D.
Set AutoSize to false.
Set Height to 2 (most easily accomplished by typing 2 into the Size/Height field under Label Properties).

And you call your self a "senior" developer Sigh | :sigh:

Decide where you want to store the data (database or file system)
For database read up on creating a Web API project that uses a data access layer to connect t a database.

For file system read up on system.IO

No matter how you store the data you are going to have to research on what you intend to do.

How can we help you? Do you need help with a simple google search? Do you need help finding the search capabilities of CodeProject? Maybe need help finding the sticky post describing how to ask a question?

If you want help you need to be much more specific. What do you mean by persistent data? In ASP.Net you can store data in the application cache which persists as long as the process is running. You can store in a cookie which persists until it expires or is deleted. You can persist in the database or a file for however long you want.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

To store data, you need to use a database of some sort.
ASP.Net can connect to many databases.

Would XML file work that way? And is it possible to use CRUD with XML?

Mycroft Holmes9-Oct-16 17:24

Mycroft Holmes

9-Oct-16 17:24

Yes and Yes
Use XML (file based storage) only if you have very limited data in a simple data structure AND the application is single user only.

File based data (XML) is notoriously difficult to manage when doing CRUD, you need to read the entire file, select the record you want to modify, change the record, reconstruct the file, write the entire file to the disk.

No multiuser, there is no concept of record locking.

Then what's the best method? Use XML or SQL database? Because I have to use CRUD.
