Saving text in textbox

[johnwheeling]

In a Microsoft Store App how do I save text in a textbox so that it stays in the box after the app is closed and opened again? I know this can be done through Settings in a Windows Forms App, but there is no provision for Settings in Visual Basic 2013 for Store Apps.

I haven't built any MS Store apps but can you just right out a txt file with key value pairs?

I think this will get you writing txt files

when uyou want to save text i textbox you have to select a controls key with strings

If you do then you can just place it inbetween the textarea tags like this...

<Textarea> Text here </Textarea>

If you want to display something from a mysql database you can just echo it

<Textarea>

<?php echo $mytextstring; ?>

</Textarea>

....with "$mytextstring" obviously being what you queried from the database.

I didn't know you could run PHP code in a Windows Forms App, considering that PHP is a server side technology for web pages, that's quite the feat there.
