❔ I have a project and I need to implement a functionality to create a membership for users
I need help with using exporting & importing data in a text file in a my console application project
Jwhat have you tried and what problem are you currently having?
TLet me show you
T
THere is my plan for the project
TI'm trying to take user inputs save them in a variable and then pass this variable as a path to write it to a text file, then read the file and create a membership, ultimately it's just a practice project, is it possible?
TI know we could write data to a text file and read/import data from a text file
TWhy do you have a StreamWriter is a validation method...?
Tas
TOh! This needs to be modified, because at the beginning I was thinking on only taking user input and validate, but the I thought this is boring.
TI wanna practice using text file not taking user input 
Jyou should practice planning out your project before writing any code
Jlist out all the data that you need, how it should be organized, and what actions you need to do with it
TWell! I have done that. But not very precisely as you mentioned about the data.
TI have planed the project on a piece of paper as a diagram.
Jcould you share that?
T
TAlthough it's not considered as completed yet
TDo you think I need to use a softwire to draw a diagram flow?
Jit's probably easier than trying to do it on paper
Ji would comment that a part that says "apply logic" isn't useful to write down, you should be more specific about what the code needs to be doing
Jfor example, this is a very rough outline of a feature i'm working on for one of my work projects
TOk! Yeah! I think using software is better and more efficient Teknik to see the flow of the project than using the typical way with pen and paper.
TOk! It looks a bit cryptic to me and not really understand some of these outlines. But it looks more organized and splited into multiple sections.
JI basically sketched out what data I need and what has to be done with it
JWhich you should have a good idea of before writing any code
JOtherwise you might get stuck with code you have to rewrite because you didn't plan ahead
TOk! Yeah! You're absolutely right. Planning the project and get a very clear view about the sections that needs to be implemented will save too much time.
TSo I could do that? .
Jyes
Jit's not exactly clear what you want to do, which is why i suggested planning it out more thoroughly
Jit's easier for us to help if you have a good plan
TI mean the docs shows that you could write any string value to a text file, so instead of hardcoding the
"Hello World!!"string, I could write the users data and store in a text file in the program.
TSounds great. I'll plan the project, so you'd get a glimpse of what I'm trying to create. I'll go and plan it then. Thanks a lot so far 
TJust a quick question, let's say I took all these user inputs, should I be saving each data in each its property?
TTI mean those are variables too, right?
Jyes, if the data is related to each other (like different data about one user) you should group them in a class
TOk
TThey are already in a class
TJyes
TBut shouldn't I be using seters too to set value for each property?
Jit depends
Jdo you want to change the data after instantiating the class?
TRight now I'm using only the getters to get their values
TAlthough, I haven't done the logic part e.g. while loop, other methods, lists and etc..
TI had modify the last square to
user membership
Jso i don't think a flowchart is the correct type of diagram for this
TOk
Ja flowchart models one process from start to finish, you put a whole bunch of stuff in here
