If you load a dataset (a collection of tables) from XML, then these tables have to exist in the XML file.

If you are done using the XmlReader[^], dispose it. Otherwise the reader will remain open and lock the file.

ok.. but is there a condition that i can use so that when it finds no table it "do nothing" for eg.
and can you show me how to dispose the XMLReader considering the code i have..i am finding too many info in one page that my mind cannot proccess :s

You are now using "ds.Tables(0)", without checking if there is a table at that index.
And yes, that would probably be too cryptic if you don't understand what the code is doing.

xmlFile.Dispose()

Thanks!

I believe that my code is almost ready..i just need to fix the table thing and it seems that the xmlfile.Dispose() it is only working when the code is inside a button click instance!
I was trying to use the MonthCalendar data change so that when i select a date in it, it automatically shows the Memo for that date...it works but then it conflicts again with the saving!

You may need a bit more, but yes, you should check the length of the array before using it.

Only works when the variable is in scope.

I could, but then I'd be fixing the next issues also. I'll gladly help, but you seriously need to learn some of the basics before attempting projects.
MessageBox.Show(ds.Tables.Count)
That would show you how many tables are in the dataset. You need to do "nothing" if there are 0 tables there. So, something along the lines of "Ff (ds.Tables.Count = 0) Then"..

ok..i guess i solved the table problem..just do not know how to close the xmlfile.reader so it allows me to save at will!

If you create a reader (or a writer) object, then it needs to be disposed - in the same method where you are creating it.
The simpeler option is to wrap the reader in a using statement.

That's why we have documentation, examples and tutorials. The syntax for a using-statement is not complicated.
If you want to modify code, you'll have to learn those things

i usually learn better with examples..when i apply something here and there i memorize and i know how to do later for other code..i also keep some records of code to use when i need : )
Thats why i started this project by trying the .ini method...i was already familiarized with it : )
..you said for me to change into xml..i did and i already learn a lot of new code ehe
Thanks... at least my gadget is evoluting... i would like to solve the issue about the saving!

Alienoiz wrote: i usually learn better with examples.
We all learn in a similar way, and yes, examples help a lot. That's why the documentation on MSDN contains an example for most classes and methods. It also contains the syntax, which explains which construction the compiler expects.
Alienoiz wrote: when i apply something here and there i memorize and i know how to do later for other code
Sorry, but that's not going to work, since the thing you may remember may be required in a slightly different way, or needs to modified a tiny bit, or extended a tiny bit. Get a book, learn basics, and get in the habit of looking up every statement that you don't understand on MSDN.
Alienoiz wrote: Thats why i started this project by trying the .ini method...i was already familiarized with it : )
The problem there would be that initialization files are outdated, and they were never meant as a data-store.
Alienoiz wrote: ..you said for me to change into xml..i did and i already learn a lot of new code ehe
Yup, that's true; and you seem willing enough to learn and try.
Alienoiz wrote: i would like to solve the issue about the saving!
Type the word "using" as the first word on the line below in your code, and see what happens;
xmlFile = XmlReader.Create(filePath, New XmlReaderSettings()) I'll leave it up to you to figure out where to end the using

The "end using" is placed usually after the last time (the last line of code) you actually need the object you're using. After the end-using the object is no longer valid. Depending on your code, that may be the last line of the method.
Alienoiz wrote: and it is not working in any place
What does "not working" mean? I know you got a message from the compiler, but which one?

Red means "error", which you already said. Hover your mouse over it, and it will display a message. Alternatively, you look in the error-window.
It may be "Type is not defined". The one on "XmlFile" would say that it hides another variable. And yes, you already declared a variable with that name. What happens if you remove the first declaration?

In that case the file is locked by something else; is there a writer in another procedure? Are you viewing the file in an XML-editor while debugging? For example, if you open the XML file using Word, then Word will lock that file, causing an error if you try to read it.

So if is good in the xml, the problem must be with the reading code...this is what i am using for read:

TextBox1.Text = MonthCalendar1.SelectionRange.Start.ToShortDateString()
Dim folderPath As String = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()
Dim filePath As String = Path.Combine(folderPath, "MEMOS\Database.xml")
If Not File.Exists(filePath) Then
MessageBox.Show("DataBase not found!")
Else
Dim sav = TextBox1.Text
Using xmlFile = XmlReader.Create(filePath, New XmlReaderSettings())
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim dv As DataView
ds.ReadXml(xmlFile)
Dim dset = ds.Tables.Count
If dset = 1 Then
dv = New DataView(ds.Tables(0))
dv.Sort = "Date"
Dim index As Integer = dv.Find(sav)
If index = -1 Then
MsgBox("Nothing set for this date!")
ComboBox1.Text = "01"
ComboBox2.Text = "00"
ComboBox3.Text = "AM"
TextBox2.Text = ""
TextBox3.Text = ""
TextBox4.Text = ""
TextBox5.Text = ""
TextBox6.Text = ""
TextBox7.Text = ""
Else
ComboBox1.Text = (dv(index)("HOUR").ToString())
ComboBox2.Text = (dv(index)("MINUTES").ToString())
ComboBox3.Text = (dv(index)("AMPM").ToString())
TextBox1.Text = (dv(index)("DATE").ToString())
TextBox2.Text = (dv(index)("PLACE").ToString())
TextBox3.Text = (dv(index)("NAME").ToString())
TextBox4.Text = (dv(index)("PHONE").ToString())
TextBox5.Text = (dv(index)("EMAIL").ToString())
TextBox6.Text = (dv(index)("HEADER").ToString())
TextBox7.Text = (dv(index)("MEMO").ToString())
End If
Return
Else
MessageBox.Show("No MEMOS in DataBase!")
End If
End Using
End If
End Sub
any ideas?!!

The code you have shown does not join any texts; on reading the contents of a textbox are replaced.

I'm not sure what you are seeing, but the assignment-code is not joining anything.
