Because that is far more succinct than he currently has. Also, when he needs to process other elements your code should much easier to do than in than his own. Oh, hang on everything, except this sentence) is a whopping lie.

Actually, it looks more like the thing you needed to change you didn't and vice versa.

Cool, hey now another problem is that what if I don't know the number of lines a file has, how can I deal with this line:

string[] fragments = lines[0].Split(',');

especially if I want to read all the lines of that file and I don't know how many lines the file has.:confused: Thanks for being helpful man

The code I posted only reads the first line, and will throw an error if the file is empty To process the whole file you need the loop. You need to decide how you are going to handle it. The way I see it you have a few realistic options:

1. Create a list of errors and add to it in the loop.
2. Only register the first error and continue processing.
3. Break out of the loop if an error is found.

Which of these apply?

Cool bro I have figured it out check below:

manager = new data_manager();
HttpPostedFile myFile = files.PostedFile;// Get a reference to PostedFile object
string strFilename = Path.GetFileName(myFile.FileName);
if (strFilename != "")
{
string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(strFilename);
for (int b = 0; b < lines.Length; b++)
{
string[] fragments = lines[b].Split(',');
int count = lines.Length;
errors.Text = fragments[0] + count.ToString();
errors.Visible = true;
string first = fragments[0]; string last = fragments[1]; string email = fragments[2];
string phone = fragments[3]; string birth = fragments[4];
string addrecord = manager.AddContact(first, last, email, phone, birth, Request.QueryString["userid"]);

                if (addrecord == "done")
                {
                    error.Text = "Contact added check in the table below!";
                    error.Visible = true;
                    FillContacts(Request.QueryString\["userid"\]);//update datagrid after deleting a contact
                }
                else
                {
                    error.Text = addrecord;
                    error.Visible = true;
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            errors.Text = "No file with content was selected";
            errors.Visible = true;
        }

and this works quiet well....super! :laugh:

Nope. I've run that through every possible combination of Google Translate and it keeps coming back with the same response: You're a dribbling idiot.

Bad news for you mate. Under the new reputation system, your points total goes down everytime you post something stupid. It's only the daily cap limit that's stopping your reputation being minus several hundred thousand.
