I 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?

I'm trying to match exactly the following format:
+639201112222
09201112222
and this is all Ive tried so far:
(+63|0)?d{10}
the problem is that it match 2920111222 in 29201112222. How can i create a pattern that will match only the formats below?
+63XXXXXXXXXX
0XXXXXXXXXX
+63 or 0 plus 10 digit number only.where X are all digits from 0-9.

When retrieving rows from an SQL Server table I use the following code select mydate, Customer, Details from sales where mydatetime >= '" & format (somedate, "MMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss tt") & "'"This works fine unless the clients computers windows Region setting is 'English (New Zealand)'The default time format in windows Region and Language for New Zealand is [code]On computers with this region setting I get an SQL Error 'Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string'..If I manually select the other option for AM symbol, PM symbol in Region and Language i.e AM PM the all works fine again..What format string can I use so that above code always works, even if the Region time format is a.m. / p.m.

Does anyone have a regurlar expression available which only accepts dates in the format dd/mm/yy but also has strict checking to make sure that the date is valid, including leap year support?
I am coding in vb.net and am struggling to work this one out.

I am using the NPV() function in VB.NET to get NPV for a set of cash flows. However, the result of NPV() is not consistent with my results performing the calculation manually (nor the Investopedia NPV calc... which matches my manual results)
My correct manual results and the NPV() results are close, within 5%.. but not the same...
Manually, using the NPV formula:
NPV = C0 + C1/(1+r)^1 + C2/(1+r)^2 + C3/(1+r)^3 + .... + Cn/(1+r)^n
The manual result is stored in RunningTotal
[Code]...
The MSDN page example clearly states that the initial expense should be included in the cash flows list.

I'm returning a database query into a List object and using that list object to fill the X and Y axes of my chart as seen below. (_runData is a "List(of DatabaseTableName)" style Object filled with the results of my query.
Primary_Chart.Series(0).Points.DataBindXY(_runData, "DateTime", _runData, "UPPER_PRESSURE")
My Datetime field is returning as a Serial Number (i.e. 40116.76111) so I want to format the X Axis to display the field more readably. Enter my problem code.

MsgBox("i should pop up!")

I know the page and links have loaded as I did Links.count and got 64, I just want to find the ones that match the certain text though. My code doesn't work but doesn't return any errors either.

i'm using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition how is it possible to match text between tags?
for example i have a string : <data>Text</data>more text..., how i can get the Text which is inside <data></data> ( .Replace won't help).
[Code]...
I use this because in my case the tags will be always without id, class, width, href, src, style .... just tag name (ex:<data><str><text>...)

I have a ListView with two columns, and before enter a new item in the listview, I want to prevent entering a duplicate value, so I found ListView.FindItemWithText to accomplish that.
But I realized that if I enter 232323, and then enter 2323, which is different but starts with the same digits as the first entry, the function returns that item as a match.
I wonder if there is any way to match the whole text (exact text) to avoid the above.
Here is my code:
Dim ChkSIM As New ListViewItem
ChkSIM = lvItems.FindItemWithText("2323")
If Not ChkSIM Is Nothing Then
lblErrorSIM.Text = "Already in list"
End If

I made a program. Now in order for people to use it. i want them to register my program via a product key.I don't want to deal with Databases right now. I want something very simple.I made a website and added the product keys to it.
The web site is http:[url]......Now here is what I want to happen. I want the user to type there product key in form1. Once they press Okay. I want Form2(which is my web browser) to check the codes on my website that I made. And if the Product key the user enter in Form1 matches any of the product keys in my website. then they will be procceded to form3. If the Product key that they typed in Form1 did not match any of the product keys on my website then I want a error to pop up saying the product key is invalid.In my first form I have 1 textbox and 2 buttons. Button1 is close Button2 is Okay.The textbox1.text will be the product key the user enters. I want the web browser to see if any codes on my site match textbox1.text

There is String.Format function that is referred to in the documentation as the analog for Format function from VB6. There's also Format function from VisualBasic namespace that is provided for compatibility and basically has same powers as String.Format.Indeed, those two format dates and numbers.But VB6's function was also able to format strings:[code]String.Format is not able to do that, as far as I'm concerned, nor is the new Format. I also couldn't find any mention in the compatibility Format documentation that certain parts of VB6 functionality is lost, seems like the feature was deprecated "silently."Is there anything in the framework that can do this type of formatting?

The VB format() function has a bug in it that has existed for nearly 20 years! One would do this if communicating with devices that use fixed length HEX strings.
Ex: Something = Format(Hex(n), 00)
Note that the expected results occur when n = 0 to 255 EXCEPT when n=42 ... "00" is returned not "2A"! Truly an outright bug! VB up to and including .NET 2005 does this.
Testing in .NET 2010, it appears that now when a string is the passed value parameter, just the format string is echoed back.Not really fixed but functionality removed sometime between 2005 and 2010 versions.
Knowing this, I simply use my own wrapper function in all VB versions to do the formatting:
Something = PadLeftZeros( Hex(n), 2 )
Private Function PadLeftZeros(s As String, ByVal length As Integer) As String
' dumb function
To pad leading zeros to number string. Could be done many ways, this is just one primitive one.
Dim n As Integer
n = Len(s)
If n = length Then

I have a SQL function that I am calling in my VB.Net code within a display function. The SQL function will format my account data to include the following results form a Table. The table data: "001000011121" (this is the type of structure the data has before formatted)
So the data table data and vb Properties would be called Myaccount, HerAccount, ThisAccount. Once the data is pulled and then formatted in the VB.net code it will result into a GridDisplay as as: "001.00.001.1121"
The way I have my Public Function in my code is:
Public Funcion GetDisplay(_
ByVal dbBass as DataProvider_
,ByVal pps AS TMGDatarequestParms_
,By filter As IFilter_
) As Ilist
Dim strobe As String = CType(parms.OptionalParameters, DataProvider).Database
Dim sql As BiGSqlBuilder(TABLE)
sql.Select = String.Format("ID, [{0}].dbo.GLForamtAcct(Myaccount) AS [Myaccount], [{0}].dbo.GLFormatAccount(HerAccount) AS [HerAccount], [{0}].dbo.GLFormatAccount(ThisAccount) AS [ThisAccount]", strobe)
I left out some of the return code since not necessary. The only thing I'm concerned is how to format the SQL within the VB.net Code above.
