Visual basic 2008 tutorial - How to save username and password

This video is part 1 of a tutorial requested by Leandro1021DX

How can i make so a user can add some text to a list and it will still be there?

[theonlinegamers]

@MagicalFlump Go into Settings like I showed in the video. Add a new setting (start typing in the empty field at the bottom). Change datatype to string, name to Text. If you want to save the text of a textbox, just type: My.Settings.Text = Textbox1.text (Ofc, replace textbox1 with whatever your textbox is called). When the user opens the program, set the text of textbox1 to My.Settings.Text

@theonlinegamers Ok thanks, i need users to save IP addresses so this should work, but lets say i have a richtextbox and when a user writes the IP address in the text box what code do i put in the button to add a new line to the rich text box?

[theonlinegamers]

@MagicalFlump Let me get this straight: You want the user to be able to click a button to add a new line to the richtextbox? Depending a bit on what version you have, here it is in 2008 express edition:

RichTextBox1.Text += vbNewLine

@theonlinegamers yeah thats it but i want to be able to add the new IP address to the new line

[theonlinegamers]

@MagicalFlump If RichTextBox1.Text = some IP address, then do this:

RichTextBox1.Text = vbNewline & RichTextBox1.Text

Before:

Some IP Address

After:

EMPTY LINE

Same IP address
