Adam Ryland Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 There are lots of different ways to create them, the actual implementation would depend on what language you are using. In Visual Basic, for example, I tend to define my own record type, i.e.: type Wrestler Name as string * 30 Profile as string * 250 'etc end type And then use GET and PUT statements to write them to file. If you go on MSDN and look up GET and PUT there are some samples there that are useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Ryland Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I wouldn't worry - C# is so close to VB that you don't need to learn too much new stuff, it will already be second nature to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
