Question

I am making a game in Visual Basic that has to contain a high score table. I am using a ListView control named lstscores to store rows of scores in 2 columns called Name and Score. The user has to guess words that are entered into a ListBox called lstwords when correct. I have set up 2 things in Application.Settings: settingname and settingscore both with type: System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollectino, Scope: user and Value: Nothing.

When user clicks on a save button, I basically want to take the username and score and store it in the settings respectively. So when I open the form up next time I can load the settings back into the same ListView control.

I have been researching for a few hours, and I haven't been able to find anything exactly suited to my needs.

I cannot provide my code, as i have tried everything possible to my knowledge, and nothing has worked.

If someone could please give me advice or a direction on how to go about doing this, I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Dim arr(1) As String
    Dim score As Integer

    inputname = txtname.Text
    score = lstwords.Items.Count

    arr(0) = inputname
    arr(1) = score
    lstscores.Items.Add(New ListViewItem(arr))

No correct solution

You can use combination of Save() and Reload() methods to store your data. When user clicks on Save button, you can iterate your ListView adding content ListView.Items[n] to collection of names and content of sub-item (ListViewItem.SubItems[0]) to collection of scores. Then, use My.Settings.Save() to save your data. To have your data back in ListView after start, use My.Settings.Reload() (in for example Form.Load event) and iterate it back. Here's an example of saving iteration (not tested):

For Each it0 in lstscores.Items
    My.Settings.settingname.Add(it0.Text)
    My.Settings.settingscore.Add(it0.SubItems[0].Text)
Next
My.Settings.Save()
