Save Contents in TextBox

How would I save the contents in the textbox so that next time the form containing the textbox is opened, it will still have the same text?

Just add a settings file to your project and save it there

Project > add new item > general > settings file

Take a look at this thread on how to use the file: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=579165

use Application Settings

How would I use it to save text
Im using something like this and it doesnt work Nothing shows up in the textbox

Code:

---

Public Class Dialog1

    Private Sub OK_Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK_Button.Click
        Me.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
        TextBox1.Text = My.Settings.TextBoxUser
        My.Settings.Save()
        Me.Close()
    End Sub

---

Code:

---

    Private Sub TextBox2_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox2.TextChanged
        TextBox2.Text = My.Settings.TextBoxUser
    End Sub
End Class

try Application Settings.

in your design time view, select the textbox.
expand [ApplicationSettings] in the properties window.
select 'text' + click the dropdown arrow to the right.
click 'New', type in a name for the property + click OK.

thats all you need to do + your text will be saved when you close your application + reloaded when you run it next time.

Change "TextBox1.Text = My.Settings.TextBoxUser" to "My.Settings.TextBoxUser = TextBox1.Text"
