Dear sir/madam,

 

I have searched the forums to achieve a working vb.net application that uses a .txt file as source, but I am not able to get it right.

 

This is how my code looks now:

 

Imports Seagull.BarTender.Print
Imports Seagull.BarTender.Print.Database
 

        Dim btEngine As New Engine
        Dim btFormat As LabelFormatDocument
        Dim txtFile = New TextFile("TextFileDatabase")


        btEngine.Start()


        txtFile.FileName = "P:\BarTender\Templates\Test.csv"


        btFormat = btEngine.Documents.Open("P:\BarTender\Templates\PageTemplate.btw")


        btFormat.DatabaseConnections.SetDatabaseConnection(txtFile)


        btFormat.Print()


        btFormat.Close(SaveOptions.DoNotSaveChanges)


        btEngine.Stop()
 

 

I'm getting this error: TextFileDatabase does not exist at btFormat.DatabaseConnections.SetDatabaseConnection(txtFile).

 

Hope some of  you could help me out?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

  I managed to solve my own problem.

   

  Maybe this example can act as a tutorial. The lines I needed were:

   

          Dim txtFile = New TextFile(btFormat.DatabaseConnections(0).Name)
          txtFile.FileName = "P:\BarTender\Templates\Test2.csv"
          btFormat.DatabaseConnections.SetDatabaseConnection(txtFile)
  

  Instead of:

        txtFile.FileName = "P:\BarTender\Templates\Test.csv"
        btFormat.DatabaseConnections.SetDatabaseConnection(txtFile)
  

   

  Thanks for the support anyways!
