How to create a changelog box in Visual Studio(vb.net)
Changelog box is a simple text box which can be used to inform users about the new features and fixes which are made to the software.
Requirements :
To create a changelog box we need only one component:
1-Textbox
1.Add Textbox from toolbox to the form, and it should be like this:
2.Click to Textbox , then click to “Arrow” and check Multiline box, as is in photo below.
3.Now we need to extend the textbox, to do that simply drag it with mouse , and it should look like this :
4.Double click to the form , and paste the following code :
Dim address As String = https://www.dropbox.com/s/f3chh08pajcmnlj/changelog.txt?dl=1 Dim client As WebClient = New WebClient() Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(client.OpenRead(address)) TextBox1.Text = reader.ReadToEnd
This is the link address where txt file is uploaded https://www.dropbox.com/s/f3chh08pajcmnlj/changelog.txt?dl=1
Replace it with your own url, you can use Dropbox or anything you want.
Make sure that must be a direct link , for ex : www.myweb.com/changelog.txt
5. Then double click again to the form , and add the following systems , as is in photo below.
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Net
6.That’s it , now simply click “Start” to run the software .
You can integrate this project to your software.
