I am making an application which will save and load products. These products have three properties of a product name, customer name and firmware location. However, when I try to save them, it will only save one and keeps overwriting with the most recent product saved. The following is my code for the product class:
public class Product
{
//private product data
private string productName;
public string getProductName()
{
return this.productName;
}
public void setProductName (string inProductName)
{
this.productName = inProductName;
}
private string customerName;
public string getCustomerName()
{
return this.customerName;
}
public void setCustomerName (string inCustomerName)
{
this.customerName = inCustomerName;
}
private string firmwareLocation;
public string getFirmwareLocation()
{
return this.firmwareLocation;
}
public void setFirmwareLocation (string inFirmwareLocation)
{
this.firmwareLocation = inFirmwareLocation;
}
//constructor
public Product (string inProductName, string inCustomerName, string inFirmwareLocation)
{
productName = inProductName;
customerName = inCustomerName;
firmwareLocation = inFirmwareLocation;
}
//save method
public void Save (System.IO.TextWriter textOut)
{
textOut.WriteLine(productName);
textOut.WriteLine(customerName);
textOut.WriteLine(firmwareLocation);
}
public bool Save (string filename)
{
System.IO.TextWriter textOut = null;
try
{
textOut = new System.IO.StreamWriter(filename);
Save(textOut);
}
catch
{
return false;
}
finally
{
if (textOut != null)
{
textOut.Close();
}
}
return true;
}
At the end is my save methods.
Here is the code for when the user presses the add product button:
private void Add_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//get input from user
string inputCustomerName = customerNameTextBox.Text;
string inputProductName = productNameTextBox.Text;
string inputFirmwareLocation = firmwareTextBox.Text;
try
{
Product newProduct = new Product(inputProductName, inputCustomerName, inputFirmwareLocation);
newProduct.Save("products.txt");
MessageBox.Show("Product added");
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("Product could not be added");
}
}

You are not appending the text to your file, thats why it keeps overwriting the last entry over and over again.
Try to change your save method to:
public bool Save (string filename)
{
System.IO.TextWriter textOut = null;
try
{
textOut = new System.IO.StreamWriter(filename, true);
Save(textOut);
}
catch
{
return false;
}
finally
{
if (textOut != null)
{
textOut.Close();
}
}
return true;
}
Notice the "true" as the second parameter in the StreamWriter constructor. This tells the StreamWriter to append the new line.
