[2008] Comparing Two Strings If They Are Equal?

Hopefully this question will have an easy answer; I've tried searching for the answer myself, but I don't know what to search for (I don't know what you would call this).
Is there a way to compare a string to see if it matches more than 1 value?
[Code]...
Just wondering if anyone knows why does my authentication server fail at comparing strings? Also is there a better method of comparing strings than what im using below? User types in a textbox then sends text to server, server then checks it
[Code]...
Example:
Dim Sh32 As Object = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Dim path As String = "C: empcatalog.zip"
Dim sf As Object = Sh32.NameSpace(path)
-> does not work, sf = Nothing
Dim Sh32 As Object = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Dim path As String = "C: empcatalog.zip"
Dim sf As Object = Sh32.NameSpace(path.ToString)
Clearly path = path.ToString, but they behave differently when used as COM parameters.
I cant seem to think this morning.I am trying to compare version strings. These are scraped off a website...
examples:
4.5.0.55
4.2.2.128
4.5.0.37
5.0.0.713
how do i make sure I am grabbing the highest version?right now I have it checking the length, if less than 9 .. add a zero. then remove the .'s and convert to an integer. then just check. I know thats not the best and most accurate.
I'll use this image to illustrate my question.

Basically, how would I go about it searching through the listbox for "String 4" and then a messagebox coming up?
But, if it doesn't find that string an error message comes up.
I'm trying to compare the selected item in a combo box to the items in a collection in search of a match. There is guaranteed to be a match because the combo box was originally populated from the same collection. This is the code I'm using:
[Code]....
This code works for other collections but not for this one. In this case, the loop stops after the first iteration, regardless of what's selected in the combo box. I have confirmed that the collection contains the correct data and that there is a match for the combo box options. The only difference between this instance and other instances is that the values in the collection and in the combo box contain a double quote at the end. I suspect this is what's causing the error. (To be clear, there is no error message, it's simply not returning the correct value.) I've tried various string compare methods but none of them have fixed the problem.
Below two which is the best practice to compare strings...
If "A".ToLower = "a" Then
'....
End If
If String.Compare("A", "A", True) = 0 Then
'...
End If
I have two array list same size, depending on the information gathered by previous functions. The size of the arrays range from 2 - 45 in length, both arrays always have the same length. I am trying to match one string in one array to another string in the second array. When they match then add Item to List.
Here is my
Do Until i = Arraylenght
info = Replace(myAL(s), " ", "")
SortedArrayList(m) = Replace(SortedArrayList(m), " ", "")
SortedLine = Split(SortedArrayList(m), "Price=")
If myAL(s).Contains(SortedLine(1)) Then
[Code] .....
This code works up to an array of not more then 4 in lenght, when working larger size array then 4, the minute it get to 5 I get this Error:
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index
I have two lists of strings. One is a list of all students in a class and the other is a list of students in the class that completed an assignment. The two lists are part:whole. So we have two loops for copying elements and displaying them in a list box for only the students who did submit.
Dim f As Integer
f = 0
Dim h As Integer
h = 0
While (usersinclass.Count > f)
h = 0
While (usersidthatsubmittedassingments.Count > h)
[Code] .....
What I need is the remaining portion of the "usersinclass" list. (i.e. The students who did not submit). I tried an Else statement BUT with nested loops, every element is guaranteed not to match at least once, so I was getting elements that shouldn't be there. So, is there anyway to run the given lists against each other again to pull out the remaining students? (preferably with no repeats).
In the following LINQ query, i would like when the Loc=Locale.Gr all the records with GrID=100 returned and when the Loc is anything else all the other records with GrID <> 100 returned.How can i achieve this one? I tried something like the following, but it is totally wrong.
PrivateSub Test(Byval Loc as Locale)
Private Const GrID as integer = 100
Dim Query = From c In Mob Where c.CountryID = IIf(Loc = Locale.Gr, GrID, <> GrID) select c
End Sub

I am working on a UDP Client/Server, and currently i have them sending back and forth strings, which i convert to bytes, and then open the bytes to read. I want to now send an Object instead of those strings, which includes multiple unsigned integers and strings.

I have to write a function that returns array of strings.
How can I initiate it to empty array? I need it since I have to check if it's empty array after it returns from this function.
Is list of arrays better for this purpose? If I use a list - Is it empty when it firstly defined? How can I check it it's empty?
Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?

I'm trying to load some data from a MySQL table and sort it so two equal rows doesn't come consecutive. I've been trying to do this on the server-side, but it looks like it's impossible. So I'm wondering if it's possible to load the data into a dataset and sort it there or something like that? I'm open for all solutions, both on the server-side and client-side.

I have a program I'm working on (a chance game) that has 5 random numbers generated. I need to think of an expression to check to see if three of those numbers are equal. The random values are not an array, they are 5 separate variables. I have the code written to compare if there are two matching ones, but am having trouble thinking past that. [Code]
View 3 RepliesI have a form with multiple panels which hide/show as the user progresses through and inputs data. After they enter data in the first panel, I want a label in the next panel to be equal to one of their inputs. For example, in the first panel they enter their name in Textbox1. They hit next and it hides panel1 and shows panel2. Then I want Label1 in the next panel to be Textbox1 (their name).

I've had no issues with this in C++, however, in Visual Basic 2008 (not sure about 2010), when I run a Do loop of any type, and run a comparison to 0, or even 0.0, the code loops a second time.
[Code]...
To my knowledge it should cancel after the 5th line, since the condition is satisfied. However it does not. Instead it runs the loop one last time.If I put in a comparison of any number higher or lower than 0, it works as it should, and cancels properly when the 5th line is written. So 1, -3, 0.0001, etc. works, so the problem lies with 0.
Now I do not know that much about the debugger, but it should be mentioned I'm running express edition, and I could not find anything that lets me see how each line compares. Nor, after an hour of searching online, could I find a single forum where this is answered (though perhaps that is due to how I worded my search).
If someone could explain to me why the comparison does not work as it should and loops a second time when comparing to 0, or even 0.0 (one person thought it was a difference in balance being double and 0 being an integer),
How do I check if 1 file is the same as another file? For example, lets say I have to files. Both have the same name, but different contents. How would I "compare" the files and tell if they are the same or different?

View 4 RepliesThis is the code I have in one button and I have 2 listboxes that will be filled with the info it gets.This code should compare 1 avi file to one jpg file and see if they have the same name.

But currently it is adding the avi name to both listboxes.
