Adding Save & Load ability to ap.

[Achithyn]

Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this site, and I just would like to say I am glad I found this place- "will help learning VB a lot easier."

I am programming a Tic Tac Toe game and would like to add a save load ability to it. However, I am unsure as to how to go about adding this function. I have no idea how to do anything with save/load dialog boxes and am simply wondering where I can learn how to do this. Any articles - or threads that may have information on this would be awesome.

Also, any information as to how to add a save and load ability without dialog boxes would be awesome.

Well, thanks for your time!

First, think of a format in which you are going to save the tictactoe grid. Off the top of my head, I'd say an array, which can hold only one of three values: X, O, <NULL>

Use the Open/Save dialog box in the toolbox to the left for saving your files.

Hey mendhak,
Could you direct me to an article where I can learn more about this? After looking around, I found that what I should be looking for is File Input and File Output. So, if there are any articles or threads already on how to do this, that would be great. Thanks!
