Copy selected listview item to a textbox VB.NET

Pete_123

Hi, I'm working on a small project , I'm trying to copy a selected list view item to a textbox this will then use the text in the textbox to create a text file with the name as the textbox text. here is the code I have so far:

If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left AndAlso e.Clicks = 1 Then
For Each selectedItem In selectedItems
REM ---lsvRQLiveFeed.Items.Remove(selectedItem)
REM ---lstDJFeed.Items.Add(selectedItem)
txtITEM.Text = lsvRQLiveFeed.SelectedItems(0).Text

            My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:\\Users\\Pete\\Desktop\\DJ Sync\\DJ Sync\\test\\REQUEST\\" + txtITEM.Text, +"." + ".txt", False)

        Next

however I seem to get an error with the following line:

txtITEM.Text = lsvRQLiveFeed.SelectedItems(0).Text

InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index is there any solution I have been working for a while on this issue and I'm struggling to find a solution ? Any help with this greatly appreciated. Regards Pete

thank you that has fixed the issue only now i need to tackle the next error:

Conversion from string "." to type 'Double' is not valid.

on this line:

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:\Users\Pete\Desktop\DJ Sync\DJ Sync\test\REQUEST\" + txtITEM.Text, +"." + ".txt", False)

any ideas ? Regards Pete

Yes, it's failing on the second parameter:

, +"." + ".txt",

It probably reads as 0 + ".". The second parameter is the stuff that is written to the file. If you omit the first + on that line, you'd be writing "..txt" to the file. You might want to divide the statement over multiple lines, makes it a bit easier;

Dim sPath as String = String.Format("C:\Users\Pete\Desktop\DJ Sync\DJ Sync\test\REQUEST\{0}.txt", txtITEM.Text)
Dim sContent as String = "Whatever your content is"
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(sPath, sContent, False)

Bonus points can be earned by using the SpecialFolder enum to fetch the path to the desktop-directory, and Path.Combine to build the path.

txtITEM.Text, +"." + ".txt", False

What's wrong there ? You can't have a "+" next to a ","
