    Starting another app AND sending it Arguments

    Hey all. Me again, still at it and going good. I know how to start other applications from within C#, that's no problem. What I don't know is how to pass arguments to said application at the same time. Any insight, suggestions, flames or other interesting comments? As always, much...

    Windows App talking to a Perl / CGI script?

    Me yet again :) Having not received a response, I wanted to let you all know that this information would not be used maliciously. I know that's easy to say, but it's true. The user would be aware that this communication would be happening, since this is merely a part of the registration...

    Windows App talking to a Perl / CGI script?

    Me again, I wanted to add that I am wanting to send information TO the PERL script and have it send back a response back to the application. That, in essence, is what I am hoping to accomplish. If you know if this is possible, or how it's done, or where I could go to find out, please let me...

    Windows App talking to a Perl / CGI script?

    Hey guys, it's been a while since i've been here to pick your brain. I am hoping to at least get pointed in the right direction.. Here is my problem: When someone is entering registration info into my application, I want to have it run a perl/cgi script on my website/server that will check...

    Aarrrgh. How do I manipulate a Text box to..

    Thank you for the reply, That was one of the first things that I attempted and that does indeed work to keep the box scrolled to the bottom, but when I am scrolled up trying to read something it scrolls to the bottom whenever it appends text. This can obviously be quite annoying. :) Now I'm...

    Aarrrgh. How do I manipulate a Text box to..

    Hello again. I've been stuck on this way too long. I have no doubt that there is a simple solution, but it seems to be beyond me. I have a Rich Text Box (but could use a Text Box if necessary) that fills with text periodically as per my App. When I add text data to the txtBox, I first append...

    How to read the last line only - in a Text File?

    Sorry for replying yet again ... I just wanted to apologize for the double post. The first time I posted I received an error. When I used the "back" button, my entire message was gone, so I typed it again and sent it through. So, anyway .. Thanks Acidon

    How to read the last line only - in a Text File?

    Thanks to both of you! earthandfire, that was exactly what I was looking for. I was able to convert it to C# and cater it to my app quickly and flawlessly. Just wanted to say thanks to all that post trying to help others. I always get what I need here, whether I find it by searching or by...

    How to read the last line only - in a Text File?

    Thank you both very much! earthandfire, that was exactly what I needed. I was able convert that to C# without any problems and it works perfectly in all of my testing. Thank you! I always get answers both quick and correct here. I can usually find what I need by searching, but on occasion...

    How to read the last line only - in a Text File?

    VBakias: I appreciate the response. I don't know why I didn't think of that, but regardless, thank you. I will use that method until I figure out a more efficient way to do it. I am hoping that my app doesn't have to go through the entire file just to grab the last line. Hmm.. Is there a way...

    How to read the last line only - in a Text File?

    Hello, I'm a real newbie, especially to C#, so forgive me.. What I would like to do is read the last line of a given text file into a string for manipulation. Could I have a suggestion on how to accomplish this? I only need to read it, I do not need to write the manipulated text back to the...

    Binary "Database" for a game - Need a how-to =)

    chiph, Thank you very much. That is exactly what I was looking for (and a lot more). A lot of it I don't understand, but it will be fun researching this solution and it's part so that I know what I'm doing when I apply it to my program. Again, thank you for taking the time to do that for me...

    Binary "Database" for a game - Need a how-to =)

    Thanks chiph, Don't hold back, I know that I am no programmer. This is pure fun for me. The games I develop will never see a computer besides mine. At this point in time, I am not looking to master any languages, I am just looking to design and create some fantasy type games. While I...

    Binary "Database" for a game - Need a how-to =)

    Thank you for the reply. There is the problem. I don't know how to tell C# to read the the information on the second monster and so on. In VB, I was able to tell it which record to retrieve in the command that was reading the file, that is what made it easy in VB. In VB, in a separate code...
