I can't find an answer to this anywhere. I define a new instance of a forms control collection, but at runtime, the collection is empty. It works for one load button on the form, but not another. The code is exactly the same, but one works, the other doesn't. Here is the relevant code:
Private Sub miFLoad_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles miFLoad.Click
Dim FilePath As String = "C:\FList\FList.flt"
Dim LoadFile As New SaveandLoad.SaveAndLoad
Dim FileRead As New Simple3Des("MyPassword")
Dim FileString As String = FileRead.ReadFile(FilePath)
With LoadFile
.WhichList = dgFList
.FilePath = FilePath
.DecryptedString = FileRead.DecryptData(FileString)
End With
Call LoadFile.LoadFile()
End Sub
This load button not loading
Private Sub miCLoad_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles miCLoad.Click
Dim FilePath As String = "C:\FList\CList.clt"
Dim LoadFile As New SaveandLoad.SaveAndLoad
Dim FileRead As New Simple3Des("MyPassword")
Dim FileString As String = FileRead.ReadFile(FilePath)
With LoadFile
.WhichList = dgCourses
.FilePath = FilePath
.DecryptedString = FileRead.DecryptData(FileString)
End With
Call LoadFile.LoadFile()
End Sub
This one is.
Public Sub LoadFile()
Dim dgRow As DataGridViewRow
Dim dgCell As DataGridViewTextBoxCell
Dim Lines() As String = DecryptedString.Split(vbLf)
Dim LinesList As List(Of String) = Lines.ToList
LinesList.RemoveAt(Lines.Length - 1)
For Each Line As String In LinesList
Dim Fields() As String = Line.Split(",")
dgRow = New DataGridViewRow
For x = 0 To (WhichList.Columns.Count - 1) Step 1
dgCell = New DataGridViewTextBoxCell
dgCell.Value = Fields(x).ToString
dgRow.Cells.Add(dgCell)
Next
WhichList.Rows.Add(dgRow)
Next
Dim FormControls As New frmFacultyList.ControlCollection(frmFacultyList)
For Each DGV As DataGridView In FormControls
If WhichList.Name = DGV.Name Then
DGV = WhichList
DGV.Refresh()
End If
Next
End Sub
Here is where they pass the info to. Again, the FormControls variable is empty for FLoad button click, but not for CLoad button click. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Sorry, here are the relevant Public Properties
Public Property WhichList As New DataGridView
Public Property FilePath As String
Public Property DecryptedString As String
Public Property EncryptedString As String
Turns I solved my own problem. The Save Function wasn't writing to the file correctly, so it wasn't pulling the information correctly. Fixed.
