You could create controls and space them using the various formatting controls available in the ToolBox. A Table that holds controls is a good bet since that is what the spreadsheet layout is. I am not sure about what form layout controls are available in CSharp but the TableLayoutPanel and a couple of others are available in Vb.net. If you are talking about printing I am not sure since I have done little with printing to paper. If you want to format the data inside the TextBox as you are now doing you will use things like the, in VB, the Spaces object and the line feed enumerations to format the textbox contents. It depends on the job requirements.

Hi,Do you know if there is a component in which I can write the data into, thatwould make the report look like a excel spread sheet? Or do I have to manually align everything? Currently I am writing to a rich text box.

I am reading the string character by character checking for ",". So when I reach the end of the string I am crashing. Is there something for end of the string? It is a very small file, maybe, about 5 records.

I was able to write and read to a file. Just one more thing, how do I check for end of file? I have to read the file and print the data onto a report.

It is pretty much the same except that it is an instance class, it does not require a security check every time it is called and can be made threqad safe me thinks.If you are just logging errors or something that you don't care about performance with then the File class is the way to go since you will not have to instantiate the class in your code but it will run slower.

Below is the MSDN Doc stuff I pulled from the File ClassDefinition that I thought might help. The complete document can be foundat: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143356.aspx if you want to read up on the File Class. Here is the copied stuff for the CSharp version: Copy using System; using System.IO; using System.Text; class Test { public static void Main() { string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt" ; // RtNote, notice the .txt file extension in the above file path// Also, note the use of the @ sign as Jamal identified in a prior post.// This text is added only once to the file. if (!File.Exists(path)) { // Create a file to write to. string createText = "Hello and Welcome" + Environment.NewLine; File.WriteAllText(path, createText); } // This text is always added, making the file longer over time // if it is not deleted. string appendText = "This is extra text" + Environment.NewLine; File.AppendAllText(path, appendText); // Open the file to read from. string readText = File.ReadAllText(path); Console.WriteLine(readText); } }----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamal Mazrui" <empower@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Celia Rodriguez" <celia-rodriguez@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2010 6:34 AM Subject: Re: C# Writing to a fileIn C#, you do not have to double the backslash characters if you precedethe string literal with the @ symbol. Just put that symbol immediatelybefore the initial quote mark.
