Is there some way I can get the last "ElseIf" to work? I know I can re-write it to get it to work but is there some syntax that will make it work the way it is?
I have a list of items and wish to set one of their properties to a certain value:
applist.ForEach(Function(x) x.PrePaidTypeID = CInt(DBEnums.PrePaidType.NoPrepay))
...but we think this just does a boolean comparison. Is there a way to force VB to assign the integer value rather than compare it?
Several months ago, I asked someone here if it was possible to perform "DoEvents" on a conditional basis. This was for a VB6 application and it worked okay. It will not work in VB2010 and I was wondering if someone could tell my why?Error Message from VB 2010:
A call to PInvoke function 'MyApp.frmMain::GetQueueStatus' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.

I have a school assignment and I just started to learn VB. Until now I/ve done pretty good however I encountered a problem which I can't solve in this assignment. So, I would ask if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong?
This is the assignment:The application calculates the new hourly pay for each of three job codes, given the current hourly pay for each job code and the raise percentage (entered as a decimal number).
a.) before the form appears, use the InputBox function to prompt the personnel clerk to enter the raise percentage. You will use the raise percentage to calculate the new hourly pay for each job code.

The template I use for all of my pages looks at the style.css to get the header image. I want to change it so that it looks at who logs in and displays an image based on who they are.
View 3 RepliesI'm having an odd problem with an ASP.Net page.I'm getting an object not set error message when assigning a string literal to a variable. [code] And here is the code that the error is pointing to. The last line in this fragment is the line 10 the error is complaining about [code] It seems it fails on accessing any reference type, even if it is declared locally in the load function. I originally found the problem when Request. IsSecureConnection was nulling out on me. I eventually discovered I could replace it with the above code and fail in the same way. The problem does not always happen. It seems to be triggered by publishing an update from Visual Studio, or when I head home for the day and the server sits idle all night. One or two app pool recycles seems to clear it up, and the page functions correctly. I've been doing desktop development for a few years, but I'm fairly new to web development.So maybe this is something obvious I've got configured wrong. I'm currently using .Net 4 on IIS 6. That code is in a foreach over an IEnumerable(of XElement). The stack trace still points to the string assignment, but all other stack traces are spot on, so I don't think it's a bad pdb.Also, when the error occurred this time, no amount of recycling the app pool or stopping and starting it would fix the error. I finally got it working again by switching the application to a different app pool.

I have an assign ment that says: create an application to let the user enter his or her name (first and last name), then displays the Initial in Upper Case. FOr example: you enter "John Wow", then the Label will display "JW". I know that I'm supposed to use the Substring method. But to use the Substring, I have to have the exact location of the Leter that is going to be displayed in the Label.The problem is: the name that the user enters always vary. So in strnewstring.Substring(... , ...) ---> the number in the parenthesis would vary, too. Thus, I cannot put a number in there.So how can i create a code for this particular assignment.

View 4 RepliesWhat is the difference between this two ways of returning value in a function in VB.NET?
Using Return Statement:

I'm using the first one then I saw someone using the second. I wonder if there's a benefit I could get using the second.
Maybe this is a n00bish question, but I'm used to c++'s pointers and references and this is confusing me a bit. Let's say I have the following scenario in a VB.net application:
[Code]...
The situation is this: I have a collection of objects, and during execution of the program, any of them can be fetched from the collection to be used/edited by another part of the program. Now obviously if I edit the data inside the object it is allright, but what if I want to replace the object, as I did above at line 5? I would change only the local reference (y) but not the object inside the collection!
Is there a way around this? How can I take with me a "reference to the object's reference", instead of just a reference, so if I reassign it it will also reassign the one in the collection? I hope I'm making myself clear, unfortunately english is not my native language, to be clear: in c++ this would be easy using a pointer to a pointer, or passing a pointer to the object always by reference, so calling new or reassignment on it would change the original pointer itself)
i would like to hijack the assignment operator and do some customization before an instance of my class is assigned.
example:
Dim A as New MyClass
Dim B as MyClass = A
i want custom the behavior of = is that possible?

View 2 RepliesI've got one for you. I am working on a program that calculates the cost of a trip given a specific price of a Workshop say "Handling Stress for $595" the length of the workshop say "3 Days" and the city the workshop is in say "Austin for $95/day" now the issue i am having is that for example my NumDays variable (the variable for the number of days of the workshop) is not taking the value. Ive ran a Watch on the variable and it stays at 0. It also displays zero. i have assigned it an integer so it should be working if I assume correctly.

I am fairly new to Visual Basic, but have had extensive experience with TI Basic and am 1 month into a class at my high school in Visual Basic.I recently began a blackjack application that will play as if you had actual randomized cards. I currently have 2 variables per card, one for the value (random integer 2-14), and one for the suit (random integer 1-4). I have pictures of all 52 cards with this numbering system (21.png, 22.png, etc. The compiler understands picturebox statements as
PictureBox1.Image = My.Resources._21 It seems like there would be some way to have a variable assignment, but
PictureBox1.Image = "My.Resources._" & You1Card & You1Suit isn't recognized as it is a string. Is there some way to either randomize the pictures to generate a random picture in My.Resources as opposed to integer representations of cards? Or is there some way to have the PictureBox assignment accept a variable string?
In this query against a datatable i'm trying to do some conditional filtering.The check against Timeband(index N) should only be done when the Index exists. (the base code only had three item fields, i've converted them to a simple list)
Dim res As DataTable =
(
From dr As DataRow In dtTimedRow.AsEnumerable()
Select dr

The above code triggers an Exception if the count = 1. It executes the code next to imeBands.Count > 1 which it should not. What would be the correct solution for this code.In the mean time i've added a simple filter function.

I have two combo boxes: cboRepairCategory (plumbing, landscaping, etc) and cboVendors. I am using Stored Procedures in SQL to store the data from my database and then load them into the combo boxes.The cboRepairCategory will be loaded first. Once the user has selected what type of repair it is I want it to restrict the amount of vendors that can be selected, so instead of saying:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.up_Fill_Vendor_Combo
AS
SELECT VendorID, CompanyName
FROM Vendors
[code].....
I would select only the vendors that have the RepairType of say Landscaping, so thecboVendor would load now only Vendors with Landscaping instead of all vendors.My question is this: Is this done in SQL in my Stored Procedure or is it done in VB in my functions for my combo boxes. I've never tried this before I am totally lost on it. I have fiddled with the code on both ends but to no avail.
I have a DGV that is bound to an Access DB DataTable. I have added a column in the DB that is either a 0 or a 1. When the program loads, I want to change the backcolor and forecolor of each row based on the value of this column's cell. ie: a 1 makes the row red, a 0 makes the row green. this column would be hidden in the DGV.
Is this possible to do at runtime even though it is bound?
I'm not sure when I would actually do the color swap, formLoad?
Second question, as I iterate through each row of the DataGridView and need to change the value of this column, will this update my DB automatically, or do I need to call an update() after each row?

I want to be able to call forth hundreds of different photos be selecting them from a listbox or something of that nature.
Normally, if I only had a few images, I would amke their visibility false and then use If statements to turn on their visibility once it is selected. However, putting hundreds of images on to a form and then changing their visibility, seems like a pain.
I was wondering if there is a way to call forth each photo within the resources folder when an item is clicked so I don't have to put each one directly on the form.
