[Tutorial]External Notice

[Blubb1337]

So, I'll teach you how to make a notice, which you can update anytime, without updating your program.


Above public class you'll need to write the following:

Imports System.net

Under public class where you usually declare stuff:

#Region "Settings"
    Const strNotice As String = "https://link-to-your/notice.txt"

#End Region

Using a richtextbox:

Sub LoadNotice()
        Try
            Dim request As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(strNotice)
            Dim response As HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()
            Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
            Richtextbox1.Text = reader.ReadToEnd()
            response.Close()
            reader.Close()
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub

You might put this into form_load or on any button:

 LoadNotice()

Just upload the .txt to your root/ftp w/e.

RichTextBox1.Text = client.DownloadString("www."".txt")
