End Sub
Public Sub New()
' This call is required by the designer.
InitializeComponent()
' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
checkFile()
End Sub
End Class
The form loads correctly, i type in uid the value then select the project but when i click Start Session i get the following error at line 168 (Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(File_Name, True) ):
A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.IOException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Answer 1

The correct way is to modify the checkFile method ,like this :
Private Sub checkFile()
If File.Exists("D:\Tebenator\userid.txt") = False Then
Try
Dim f As FileStream = File.Create("D:\Tebenator\userid.txt")
f.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Exception:" + ex.ToString)
End Try
Else
End If
End Sub
