Imports System.IO
Imports System.IO.File
Public Class Form1
Private ReadOnly mFilePath As String = "..\..\cooking.txt"
Private allcookings() As Cooking
Private Sub Form1_Load() Handles MyBase.Load
GetFile()
FillList()
End Sub
Private Sub FillList()
LstCooking.Items.Clear()
For Each ck As Cooking In allcookings
LstCooking.Items.Add(ck) <--------------
Next
End Sub
Public Function GetFile() As Boolean

Dim infile As StreamReader = Nothing
LblResult.Text = String.Empty
Try
infile = OpenText(mFilePath)
Dim numVals As Integer = CInt(infile.ReadLine)
ReDim allcookings(numVals - 1)
For i As Integer = 0 To numVals - 1
Dim entireLine As String = infile.ReadLine()
Dim fields() As String = entireLine.Split("\"c)
Dim cook As New Cooking

cook.CookingTime = CInt(fields(1))
cook.mcost = CDbl(fields(2))
cook.mtitle = fields(3)
allcookings(i) = cook
Next
Return True
Catch ex As Exception
LblResult.Text = ex.Message
Return False
Finally
If infile IsNot Nothing Then
infile.Close()
End If
End Try
Return False
End Function
Private Sub btnDetails_Click() Handles BtnDetails.Click
Dim index As Integer = LstCooking.SelectedIndex
If index = -1 Then
LblResult.Text = "Please select a cooking"
Return
Else
LblResult.Text = String.Empty
End If
Dim frm As New DetailsForm
frm.onecooking = allcookings(index)
frm.ShowDialog()
FillList()
End Sub
End Class
PS
The arrow was added just to locate the line that s raising the error message
Once again thanks for any help
