Asp.net - Converting Values Of Java.util.list To String Or Other Normal Format In Vb?
Mar 14, 2012in my application, I am pulling in items from a microsoft project file using mpxj - one of the items I need is the predecessors. The way I am able to pull the predecessor is using a build in function of mpxj which returns a type of java.util.list - I can save this to variable as an object, but I need to find a way to bring the data to a format I can easily use so I can store it into a database. Listed below is the line of code I am using to pull the predecessors from the project file.
Dim predecessors = task.getPredecessors
and here is the result when putting a tracepoint in to get the value of predecessors
[[Relation [Task id=4 uniqueID=45577 name=Standards Training - Round 2] -> [Task id=3 uniqueID=45576 name=Process Excellence Training]]]
Even if I could get the above as a string, I could work with it enough to get the data I need. The above example is where there is 1 item in the predecessor list, but sometimes there are multiple items. Here is an example of the tracepoint when there are multiple items.
[[Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=47 uniqueID=45857 name=Organizational Assessment]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=49 uniqueID=45859 name=Document Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=56 uniqueID=45866 name=Infrastructure Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=58 uniqueID=45868 name=IT Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=60 uniqueID=45870 name=Organizational Deliverables]]]
Binding TextBox.Text Causes 'Input String Was Not In A Correct Format' Error When Deleting Text

View 2 RepliesFormat A String Of Text From A Variable?
Jun 29, 2010I seem to be having a problem with the Format() Function. I am trying to format a string of text from a variable so that it uses commas as thousand separators, but I can't seem to get it working properly. Here's what I'm using:
Dim testVar As String
testVar = "10000"
testVar = Format$(testVar,
When I use this code, it changes the variable's value to The strange thing is, it works fine if I use a number instead of the Variable. It also works fine if I use a "predefined numeric format" instead of my custom one. For example, if I use:
testVar = Format$(testVar, "Standard")it works just fine, but that's not what I want (otherwise I'd just do it this way.) It also works fine when I do this:
testVar = Format$(10000, And, although in the example code I've written here, it seems like I could just do it this way, in my actual program, I can't. I have to set it dynamically with the variable.
So it seems like both portions of my Format() Function are working, but just not together, and I can't seem to figure out why. anyone shed some light on this for me and tell me what I'm doing wrong? From every example I can find on the internet about using this function with a variable, I'm doing it correctly, but mine isn't working.

In .NET String.Format Is Accepting Objects Of A Type That Don't Match The Format String
Jul 7, 2011I have a function that is getting passed a String and a DataRow.The String is a custom formatter. The idea is to do this
String.Format(passed_in_String, DataRow("ColumnINeed"))
The reason this is being done is at this point we have no idea what the column contains.However, if the formatter is "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" and the DataRow("ColumnINeed") is an integer containing 42, String.Format is returning: MM/dd/yyyy In this situation I need it to throw an exception instead of returning nonsense.Is there anyway to make String.Format throw an exception if the object does not match what the format string is expecting?

Code/regular Expression/magic That Can Detect If This Text Contains A Piece Of SQL Query Instead Of Normal Harmless Text?
Sep 21, 2010I came to a company that already has a fully grown project... but coders that worked here before me didn't follow conventions and didn't use parametrized SQL queries... as a result there is over 1000 places in a very huge project that can possibly be vulnerable to SQL injection...
I need to find a solution that will automatically detect if there is an SQL injection in the code. So, for example there is a form which allows user to enter comments regarding a product, which will be sent to database on submit... how can we make sure that a user didn't enter a harmfull query instead of a normal text?
Is there any advanced code/regular expression/magic that can detect if this text contains a piece of SQL query instead of normal harmless text? I will accept any links, pieces of code in any language or even commercial software that will do that for me.

Butaccording to the command parameters, "00" should be the format, not the actual text! So then I tried any string format I could think of (## etc.) along with switching the order and I STILL can't figure this out.

Format String To Pass To String.Format That Would "move" The Decimal Point?
Aug 26, 2010So I need a format string to pass to String.Format that would "move" the decimal point.I can't perform any math operations before doing the String.Format, so it has to work right off the bat.Basically I'm emulating a formatting string from a proprietary server. In it if I say:
"MR2"
for the value:
12345
The result is:
123.45
I'm close with this, but it's not spot on:
String.Format("{0:#0.##}", 12345)
an extra, but not necessary... there is also MR2Z, which moves the decimal 2 left, but if the value is 0 "" is returned.

VS 2008 Input String Was Not In Correct Format?
Nov 15, 2009I am building a program for my CINS-113 class where it allows the user to enter a number 1-15 in a masked text box and then hit OK and it will display that number in a ListBox as such:
Say they enter 1...
1 X 1 = 1
1 X 2 = 2
1 X 3 = 3
...
1 X 12 = 12
I have gotten everything to work great, but when you enter anything but numbers 1-15 it properly provides a message popup telling you that your entry is basically not the right value, but then I get a build error that says "Input string was not in correct format" and it highlights my line: "intInput1 = Convert.ToInt32(strInput1)"
