View 1 RepliesI have data that I want to store in some type of variable where I can easily access when needed. For example I have:
google.com -> This is a cool website.
yahoo.com -> News website
gmail.com -> Mail website
I want to be able to store those in some type of group so if I go like:
get data of google.com without going through a loop.
I am really hissed off with this control. Does anyone know how I use this control for currency values. I want to set the text to say 1.15 meaning 1 pound 15 pence and the mask control to show 1.15. If I enter 1.1 I want it to format to 2 decimal places 1.10.
View 1 RepliesI have a project to work with an existing Access 2007 DB table using Access Currency data type fields. I've tried many, many, many variations on what I'm doing, including using a command parameter or using this scheme and trying dOLEc in my command string (as shown below).
Dim dOLEc As Long = Decimal.ToOACurrency(dQ)
It all works fine (db connects, inserts record OK, closes connection) until I introduce any currency variable (WMoney is my example below). Then it returns Syntax Err 5 in INSERT INTO statement. Current VB string for the execute non-query command is:
Dim sdbcommandString As String
Dim dQ As Decimal = 8950.13
'control test--no currency field--works perfectly every time
sdbcommandString = "INSERT INTO Workers (WFullname,WRay)VALUES('George D. Jones','abcdefg');"
'but add the currency data type to it and it bombs
sdbcommandString = "INSERT INTO Workers (WFullname,WRay,WMoney)VALUES('George D. ZZZZZ','abcdefg'," & dQ & ");"
As I said, though perhaps not too clearly, I've also tried variations on this theme:
sdbcommandString = "INSERT INTO Workers (WFullname,WRay,WMoney)VALUES('George D. ZZZZZ','abcdefg'," & dOLEc & ");"
In all cases, I use the same code to connect to my db and use
OLEdbConnection1.ConnectionString = sDBConnString
OLEdbConnection1.Open()
OLEcommand = New OleDbCommand(sdbcommandString, OLEdbConnection1)
OLEcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
And I've tried it using variations on this theme where :
sdbcommandString = "INSERT INTO Workers (WFullname,WRay,WMoney)VALUES('George D. ZZZZZ','abcdefg',?);"
OLEdbConnection1.ConnectionString = sDBConnString
OLEdbConnection1.Open()
[code]....
I need to use to make it work with a currency field?
I epochly failed creating an array structure. How would I build it like I tried to do with values for each data type.
Structure PovertyGuidelines
Dim Id As Decimal
Dim NumberOfPersons As Decimal
Dim AnnualIncome As Decimal
End Structure
Private Data(20) As PovertyGuidelines
Private Id(,) As Decimal = {{1D, 2D, 3D}}
Private NumberOfPersons(,) As Decimal = {{6D, 9D, 7D}}
Private AnnualIncome(,) As Decimal = {{24000D, 32000D, 27000D}}
I'd like to create a user-defined data type in VB.NET but don't know how to do it.Ta say there's a variable to control the action of a timer control. The possible actions would be "no action", "run timer", and "stop timer." I could do this with an integer (e.g. 0=no action, 1=run timer, 2=stop timer), but I'd rather create a data type so that the options are more explanatory than a simple integer. Like so....
Private Timer_Action as MyDataType
Timer_Action=MyDataType.RunTimer
I have completed all the code for a loan calculator, but am unsuccessful in displaying decimal variables in string as "currency". I have added the .toString("c2") statement and only get one array to display in currency, then the second array does not round properly. Is there a convert function that will work? Here's my code:
Public Class frmLoanCalc
'Ken Schoening
'Loan Calculator

View 6 RepliesI am working on a Windows application written in VB with Visual Studio 2005. I have a number of fields where the user needs to enter currency amounts. I am using a MaskedTextBox with the following currency mask. msktxtAssessedVal.Mask = "$ #######.99"
The problem that I am having is that when the users type in the value, the cursor always starts at the leftmost position and appears to force as many digits as the mask. The typical data values can vary anywhere between 9,999,999.99 and 20,000.00. If the users do NOT have a value that has 7 digits left of the decimal point, they need to move the cursor to the correct position before they start typing in the value. These users are used to quickly typing in their data, then tabbing to the next field so the current behavior is not acceptable. We previously used a ComponentOne MaskedTextbox, however, their controls now are no longer free and the boss will not pay!!!
Does anyone know if there is a way for the maskedtextbox or any text control to detect where the user types the decimal and format the data accordningly?
I'm trying to find a way to force my calculations to round up currency values to the nearest whole pence/cent.By default, rounding will round to the nearest pence/cent, whether this is up or down.I need it to always round up regardless.[code]My client's back office system rounds in this manner which is rather peculiar to say the least, however the prices on his website need to match and to to this they need to be rounded up.The built in ASP.NET Math.Round function only offers the regular rounding(and banker's rounding) and not an option to force rounding up or down.
View 3 RepliesIm working on an Asp.net / VB.net website and coming from a C# / WPF background things are still a little new to me. I have declared a DataTable like so: Public notificationList As DataTable And I have then used the Page_Load event handler to populate it and bind it to a control on my page, which all works fine
[Code]....
However in another method i need to be able to access this DataTable, yet whenever I do it always appears as nothing. Do I need to be storing this value elsewhere like in the session etc?
Basically, I want to have a database that's lightweight and I won't need to install amillion other things on my clients computers for them to access this.I just need a simple method of reading and writing values so that they're not hardcoded into the program. I could do MySQL (which is what I'm very familiar with), but it doesn't need to be making calls remotely.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to store things such as user data for each user in my program, like with a class I made named UserData. I would like to have data different for each user. How can I do this? Also, I need to be able to access other user's data from my account.I tried using Settings, but they only had a limited number of classes, and the settings didn't seem to save for some reason.

I have my form set in french as well, and it automatically changes the text format to use ','. However When I try to insert my values into the database it says cannot convert nvarchar to decimal? Worst case, Is there a way I can disable the numbers from changing to use ',' and just use '.' always regardless what language it is? My working language is vb.net?
View 1 RepliesI used this way to make my shopping cart system :
Click here to see the example
when I add a product to the shopping cart it adds it very well but the problem is in the session, it stores it in the server not in the client browser.
so if some body visit the website from another computer he can see the added products on his browser while it should be empty.
Is there a way to save it on the client side instead of the server side ??

So for this requirement how I write logic in code
Dim arrArray() As String
'/MyApp/ViewPage.aspx?userId=admin&password=1&id=975"
strIndexq = mainString.IndexOf("?") ' Check QuestionMark Exist or not in mainString
If strIndexq > 0 Then
Dim strTemp As String
[Code] .....
Here I am getting userId and password but in this code I will get problem when after ? if userId and password starts wit capital letters and password maybe contain characters like "1&a"
And after getting userid and password. I want to remove userid and password from mainstring. So I want mainstring look like:

View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a currency converter that will convert currency. I have a text box to enter the amount and 2 combo boxes to choose which currency you are converting from and to.
I am using a webservice site XML that contains the conversions.
The problem is I cannot get the display to work properly.
For each column in data table i want to add parameter with same data type as column data type. But looks it's not that simple.
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand
Dim dType As New System.Data.SqlDbType
For Each cl As DataColumn In DataTable1.Columns

View 2 RepliesI would like to know that how am i going to validate the data inside a currency field to see whether its format is correct or not ?How am i going to reload the data when an action is canceled ? For example, when i click the cancel button, a message box will pop up and ask the user whether he/she want to cancel the action. When the user click yes, the action will be cancel and the data inside a database will automatically display inside the text boxes, as if everything is start from the beginning
