.net - Comparing Integer And Integer Results In Boolean?
May 28, 2009
I'm just writing a bit of code to compare an id of integer with an id of integer? for example:
Dim id As Integer = 1
Dim nullId As Integer? = Nothing
Dim areEqual As Boolean
areEqual = nullId = id
When I try to compile the code I get a compiler error: Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Boolean?' to 'Boolean'. Whilst it's very simple for me to work around this, I was hoping that someone might be able to explain what's going in the compiler to give this warning.
I am interfacing my pc to a device called a MiniBee which is basically a usb digital output adapter to allow electronic devices to be controlled by the pc. So, I need to be able to individually address the output channels of this device, the only problem is the DLL supplied with it will only accept an integer value which represents a binary instruction if that makes any sense. I have basically got 8 public boolean vars OUT1, OUT2 etc that I need to use to turn on/off the outputs by them being set to true/false.
So there are say 8 digital output channels to operate and it has to work like this: SetOutputs(1) would turn on output 1 and turn all others off SetOutputs(2) would turn on output 2 and all others off SetOutputs(3) turns on 1 and 2 and all others off
How to turn my public bool vars into an integer based on what is set to true/false if you get my meaning as there must be an easy way but working it out individually there are far too many possible permutations.
This is probably a really basic (no pun intended) question, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.Why does the result of func1 return False and func2 returns True? On every other test I have done, integer 1 is converted to boolean true and 0 to false. Works ok if I just set rtnValue to 1 or 0.
I am working with some VB.Net code that seems to be casting a boolean value to an integer using CInt(myBoolean). The odd thing that is happening is that it returns -1 if the value is true. For example:
CInt(True) // returns -1 CInt(False) // returns 0
Is this common in other languages? I thought that a boolean would be 1 if true and 0 if false. Also, is there a way to make VB assign 1 to true instead of assigning -1?
Is there anyway to customize a variable to use both an integer and a boolean value?For example. I am kind of making a simulation engine and using GDI as a visual aid, I am generating a grid of tiles for objects to be displayed, but I do NOT want to repaint all the tiles just the ones that have changed, so that I can save fps.So I thought if I could set a variable for the "tile number", "how many objects there are on a tile", and a boolean value for whether or not the tile needs repainted.[code]
I have 2 arrays. One is an array of images other an array of numbers. The images are card faces, (Card(i)), the integers are the corresponding values of the cards (Value(i)). I want to associate the card face with a corresponding value. However, everytime I do what I think is correct, I get an error stating that I cant convert an image to an integer and visa versa.
I have a question regarding Select Case. I am comparing different integer in select case for different purpose. I want to run some code on the case when number is not from the list of below mentioned.Can i use this as i mentioned below in Select case?. If not then what does mean. It don't give me any error. Case Is <> 307, Is <> 1, Is <> 12, Is <> 14, Is <> 56ThanksDalbir Singh
I accept both C# and VB.NET suggestion, even though I'm writing an app in VB.NET I have two lists of intergers
List1 {1,2,3,5} List2 {2,4,6,7}
I want to have new List3 {4,6,7} which is composed of elements of List2 that are not in List1. I know I can write a nice For Each loop for this but I want it done in LINQ I've been looking for such methods at Enumerable Methods, but I can't find it.
ive got some simple problem i cant understand how to solve.
str(1) is an array and integer(or double, tried both) a(1) is an array and integer (or double, tried both) a(1) = a(1) + 1 Label1.Text = str(1) + a
the big part is where i get: operator '+' is not defined for types 'integer' and '1-dimensional array of integer'.why do i get that message and what does it mean? how do i make the code do what i want?
I'm trying to create a linked list of an array of integers. Why is the following implicit conversion required?
When I run the code that contains that conversion, I get the following error.
As a real-time data acquisition user control data (a packet of an array of bytes) arrives every second, is converted into an integer array and inserted into a linked list.
The most recently arrived data is painted as coordinates on a grid at the right of a PictureBox using Graphics.DrawLine (pen,X1,Y1,X2,Y2).
The oldest data (arriving 120 seconds ago) will be drawn at the leftmost portion of the Picturebox.
Why a linked list rather than a list? To display 120 views of time sequence data, the draw routine the most recently inserted node to a node that points to Nothing. How do I limit the length of the linked list to 120 nodes and always ensure that the last node points to Nothing?

I am a newbie in VB and I got a piece of code which can display the current running program. I need to use that in VB2005 and I got the below error message. Can anyone help how to fix it?[code]
I'm trying to convert a VB6 project to .NET, but I get problems with some callback functions, and the following message comes up: "AddressOf' expression cannot be converted to 'integer' because integer is not a delegate type" I've seen several solutions to similar problems like this, but I am not able to understand this issue with delegates.
After the conversion, the code look like this:
Declare Function vsmsgwSetDataPackageCB Lib "vsmsgwW.dll" (ByVal PACKAGE As Integer, ByRef arg As Integer) As Integer Dim arginitP As Integer
[Code]...
Which gives the error: Method 'Public Function PackageCB(HisNodeID As Integer, ByRef data() As Byte, ByVal length As Integer, ByRef arg As Integer) As Integer' does not have the same signature as delegate 'Delegate Function DelegatePackageCallback(hwnd As Integer, lparam As Integer) As Integer
I have a LINQ2Entity problem, I want to get the value, string, from a database, so I select FProducts.Serial_number, and to end the query, I do .ToDictionary. The problem is, it tells me that it doesn't have sufficient parameters, to convert ToDictionary. So I need something like select FProducts.Serial_number, Nothing). ToDictionary. Also FProducts.Serial_number, 0).ToDictionary doesn't work.
Sub GetStatistics(ByVal ProductNumbers As List(Of String), ByRef Passed As Integer, ByRef FailedProducts As List(Of String)) Passed = 0 FailedProducts = Nothing
this is for a BINGO game final project that I already turned in but this just bugged me that I could not get the sorting figured out. I am trying to get this to sort the random numbers in to columns under the correct letters but I keep getting the error Operator '>=' is not defined for types '1-dimensional array of Integer' and 'Integer' under the line:
I am new to EF Linq and I have been struggling with this query for a few days. From reading this forum, I have managed to get this far:
Dim noPic = (From f In myEntities.FriendLists Where (f.UserID = Profile.ID) Select f.FriendID).Except(From g In myEntities.GuestLists Where g.EventID = _id Select g.FriendID)
[Code]...
I am trying to get everybody from the FriendList who is not already on the GuestList to display in a Repeater control. After reading the forum I was able to append .First() to noPic at the myNoPic declaration and finally get a result but that only gave me the first element. Does anybody have any advice on how to accomplish this?
Why doesn't CDate(integer) work where integer has format of YYYYMMDD ?and why won't this stupid site let me submit such a short question when I have nothing else to add except some waffle at the end
I'm trying to set an Integer value from my.settings.The values comes frpm a listbox, and then inserted to settings (set to specialized.StringCollection)The problem is when i'm trying to get the values and apply them to my function.Error code: Conversion from string "65 & 71" to type 'Integer' is not valid.To me it looks right, but maybe i'm missing something.
Code: Dim test2 As Integer Dim test As System.Windows.Forms.Keysm trigglist As New StringBuilderor Each item As String In
If I can generate a list of random integer with a click of the button and put the results in a list box using VB.Net but how do I randomly change several integer number generated by button 1 by clicking button 2? How I retain the results of button1 and change the results when clicking button2?I try before but the two button function code cannot relate to one another.
vb.net Dim a As Array = Array.CreateInstance(GetType(Integer), New Integer() {1}, New Integer() {1}) Dim b As Integer() = CType(a, Integer())
what i'm trying to do is to create an Integer array with LBound greater than 0. any way would be accepted, or can i say this: my function that takes i As Integer() as its argument does not have to check the LBound of i because there is no way LBound of i will ever be greater than 0
Is there any difference between these two ways of declaring a Integer and setting the value to zero? vb.net Dim x As Integer = 0' or...Dim x As New Integerx = 0 Is one way better than the other in any situation?
My experience with Stored Procedures is limited and I'm hoping this will solve my payroll problems. Further, for what I'm attempting to accomplish a Stored Procedure may not be the best answer.I'm attempting a Payroll function in which the goal of the Stored Procedure is to fetch the data for a given Payroll Period, do math on the first returned employee, output a calculated result, then move to the next. Let me explain a bit more...Based on a Pay Period ID which is given to the Stored Procedure, I would like it to do the following:Select the employee in that period, add a total of his hours worked, then add that employees total commissions, whichever amount is greater - return that value (along with the totals - such as the total hours and total commission) - then move to the next employee until completed.
I have a value in variable, say it is dim a as integer = 145.98 I tried to take the Left(a,2) but it returned an error instead of returning 14 I also tried left(a.Tostring,2) but error is the same.
