Как сохранить ход игры в Visual Basic 2010?

По сути, вы должны создать КЛАСС для хранения списка (строки) и каждого из восьми текущих значений в ваших метках. Затем используйте XmlSerializer, чтобы сохранить и загрузить эту информацию в файл XML.

Вот очень простой пример:

Public Class Form1

    Private RandGen As New Random
    Private Pictures As New List(Of String)
    Private DataFile As String = System.IO.Path.Combine(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData, "GameState.xml")

    Sub pictureArray()
        Pictures.Clear()
        pictures.Add("Cat")
        pictures.Add("Spade")
        pictures.Add("Butterfly")
        pictures.Add("Shoes")
        pictures.Add("Radio")
        pictures.Add("Grasshopper")
        pictures.Add("Lamp")
        pictures.Add("Coconut")
        pictures.Add("Clock")
        pictures.Add("Lightbulb")
