My existing VB6 programs make extensive use of random files, read from and written to using complex structures. For example...
[code=vb]
Private Type RightsElement
ItemName As String * 10
ItemFolder As String * 32
RightsFlag As Integer
End Type
Private Type OneUser
UserName As String * 20
Password As String * 20
AllRights (0 to 64) As RightsElement
End Type
[/code]
I could then declare a variable such as ThisUsersRights As OneUser, and subsequently read from or write to a random file using this variable.
I have tried in vain to make this work in VB.Net 2008. I NEED to be able to read my existing files. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Or perhaps point me in the right direction for getting an answer?
Thank you.
