I need help to create a project for vb auto center from Programming in Visual Basic 2008 Chapter 11 pg 468.

Write a project to store vehicle information including model, manufacturer, year, and VIN number.
Create a second project that load the data from the file into memory and loads a drop-down combo box with the VIN numbers. When a number is selected from the combo box display the information in respective labels.

You will need to create a class that stores all the required information, being careful to choose the variable type to match the nature of the variable.
Then you'll need an input form that accepts user input and store the information for each vehicle. The input form should contain a button to save the data to a file.

Once the first part is done, the second part is relatively easy, just search for the given VIN and display the information.
Thank you, but I still have difficulties with the code for second part of the project. I know i have to use reading a file method, but I don't get the right results. Can you help me with this?
Yeah, but we'd have to know what you have so far and what the results are.
I can get right the write and save file for the data, but for the stream reading file I don't know how to start the code and to open the stream writing file for the VIN number to get the other results for model, manufacturer, and year.
