No ... what I mean is this :

myMp3.ID3v2Tag.Title = TextBox1.Text
                        myMp3.Write()

There is the call for the write ... and what I want to see is the code of that method ... that can't be so difficult ... Sniff | :^)

I do not know...im using a dll library...how shall i look? Sorry

If it is like allready mentioned and you are using a Library ... you don't have the Source-Code from it ?
It is impossible to help if you are not helping ... the mistake (i suppose) is how you use this Library ...

Also waiting for the requested '.Write'. Sniff | :^)

It's part of the third party library he is using. Questions like this just go straight over his head. His programming skills are mainly: Copy, Paste and Guess.

I suppose you are right ... but doesn't makes it better ...

If you really want to know, then read this entire thread. Alternatively find something interesting to waste your time on. Big Grin | :-D

Yes im using the UltraID3lib library...i cannot access its code? Or...how do i do it?

Guys...about my knowledge..i have a book called Visual Basic 6 - Advanced Tecnichs with API...i have read the book and made a lot of small apps during "the day"...now my book is obsolete almost because of VB.Net being different..anyway..i learned all with that book and no more outside help...im trying to get back a little to VB just to excercise my mind...and..create a small application to give away in my website..

I code in SynthEdit some Virtual Synthesizers using a Visual Programming language..i also do all my website coding..

...and im no pro in none of these...but..i normally can achieve what i look for.. Wink | ;)

just for you to know my website: [DELETED]

Smile | :)

I removed the URL to prevent you being tagged as a spammer (and it was that close whether I let it through without the URL or tagged it and you as spam) which would mean the BanHammer starts swinging. Please don't post it again, others are rather more trigger happy than I.

Oops ... I have done that ...
What kind of answer did you got from the OP that it is flagged as (I suppose) abusive ?

Member Alienoiz14-Jun-23 8:40

I need to say something that will make you laugh the rest of the day...
i was makin a .NET app...not an .NET Framework...how did i error this?!! lo0l
I already passed all code into a .NET Framework application Smile | :)

Sorry..if does matter?!!

Ralf Meier14-Jun-23 9:01

Okay ... to be able to understand the problem YOU must understand how the Framework you are using is working.
I suppose that your problem comes from not using this Framework in the right way.
I, myself, don't like to use 3rd party products from which I don't know how to work with. Mostly it is easier (for me) to create it by myself ...

Richard MacCutchan14-Jun-23 8:55

No, none of it is abusive. Just that he is copying stuff from the internet, and his understanding of what he copies, and general programming is not too good.

No that is definitely not the way to do it. You should set the tags as and when the user edits them*, and then save the entire set when he/she presses Save. The way you are doing it the user has no way to cancel the changes.

*You should not need all those checkboxes. Just use an event handler for when the user changes any of the tag entries. As I said yesterdsay, and as clearly demonstrated in your video, you are going about this whole project the wrong way. And until you step back and take on board some of the suggestions you have been given, and start utilising proper functions and subroutines, you will never get your "mass edit" to work.

After searching UltraID3lib library I found a lot of usable links and code samples. It seems that the code that I supplied is 100% correct. I suggest taht you run the code and then tell us where it errors, you have not done so yet but rather keep on asking the same question over and over. The library also seem to be long dead (deprecated) and the original site offering the library is also down, only sample available on Github - UltraID3Lib (Only in French)
[^]

Using Google - UltraID3lib methods [^]
Code samples below -
How to read/write ID3 Tags in MP3 files using UltraID3Lib [^]
ID3 Tags on MP3 Files [^]
View/edit ID3 data for MP3 files [^]
Does anyone have the UltraID3Lib.dll [^]

So, with all these links, testing my code sample above and some learning you will resolve your issue in no time.

The problem is that it does not returns any error...it simply does not perform the action required!

Andre Oosthuizen15-Jun-23 3:31

15-Jun-23 3:31

According to the documentation, the code I supplied is 100% correct. Did you try and log it out to your console or create some form of message to see what it does when you call the .Write function? Maybe one of your variables (textbox's) has an empty value?

Member Alienoiz15-Jun-23 3:43

Anyone familiarized with UltraID3lib?

15-Jun-23 3:43

Leave it....thanks for the help!
