.net - Concatenating A Variable Onto A Path(string)?
Mar 25, 2012
I am concatenating a variable onto a path(string), i'm using a message box to display this for testing purposes, I can see that the variable is starting on a new line, which in turn when i try to open the file it doesn't recognize that the file exist...
Dim Path As String = "C:UsersstefanDesktopUni WorkYear 4ProjectsProject SelectionProjectProjectinDebug"
Shapetext = clickedShapes.Item(nextShape).Text.ToString.Substring(0, clickedShapes.Item(nextShape).Text.IndexOf(" "))
MsgBox(Path + Shapetext + ".txt")

I can't seem to get this to work. I am just a novice plugger and do some of these forms for my work occasionally. I am assigning a textbox result to a variable. I then want to use that variable in a path string i.e. ("c:some stuffvarname") but the variable looses focus once placed inside the quotes.

This code works if I take out
" " + p.MIDDLE_NAME
Thus the remaining code looks like:
p.FIRST_NAME + " " + p.LAST_NAME
Maybe LINQ-to-Entities just doesn't support concatenating more than two strings at a time?
Protected Sub btnFilter_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnFilter.Click
Dim dbContext As Campus6Entities = New Campus6Entities

I've been trying to reuse my bosses vb.net buildpacket code which he has successful used for Serial programming eg. SerialPort1.Write(buildpacket(useraddress,252,"0006","0") for the function listed below.My challenge.Create equivalent functionality for Socket BeginSend() which requires a byte array.Whether modifying the vb.net below or getting a c# equivalent to work, it has been repeatedly recommended to scrap the string concatenation approach for which I have to use Encoding.BigEndianUnicode.GetBytes() and then getting rid of extra bytes with zero values.
I'm lacking in imaging something different which would work for socket programming directly and allow me to eliminate all the hassles that c# integer conversions into string value that can be encoded trouble free.I would need to call the equivalent of the following that would return a byte array rather than a string with the following arguments
1. Source address (0-255)
2. Destination address (0-255)
3. Function code ("0001" through "0100")
4 Packet Data Unit (pdu - some integer value

I am having an issue where I am using regex.Replace to replace part of a string. The basic idea is that I want to capture the beginning of the string then replace the end of the string with a value from code. For an example pretend I have a string that says "Test Number " followed by number and I want to increment that number. I capture the "Test Number " but when I try to concatenate that capture with the new number it treats the capture ($1) as a literal and replaces the entire string with $1[new number].
[code]...
This will output "We are on Test Number 2", as expected. how I can use a variable in the replacement string portion of the Regex.Replace when including a captured group?

I'm looking for a way to search a string variable for two words and copy the text in between them into another variable. This needs to be done as many times as the match occurs.

I am trying to allow my VB.NET EXE to have a variable defined by the run command. The problem is I have no idea what the terminology would be for this type of run.
For example - the shortcut is set to do "myexe.exe debug" This would set a variable to "debug" which on execution my app knows to enable a debug mode.I've done it in batch scripts before - it just enables the "%1" variable or "%2" based on the location (e.g. test.bat hello world - hello would be %1 and world would be %2).Hopefully I explained it well. I tried searching for "variable in execution path" and "variable on execution" with other mixes, but none of those searches return what I am looking for.

How can I create a DLL declare statement with an environmental variable in it so as to make sure that I'm loading the system DLL from the right place, the system32 folder? For instance...
Declare Function GetExtendedTcpTable Lib "iphlpapi.dll" Alias "GetExtendedTcpTable" (ByVal tcpTable As IntPtr, ByRef tcpTableLength As Integer, ByVal sort As Boolean, ByVal ipVersion As Integer, ByVal tcpTableType As TcpTableType, ByVal reserved As Integer) As UInteger
The reason I'm asking is that there has been talk about people injecting invalid/malicious DLLs into folders along with applications and whatnot and I see this as an issue if you don't specify the SYSTEM directory. Yeah, I could specify it to load from c:windowssystem32 but what happens if a person doesn't have their Windows installed in c:windows? Hence the reason to use an environmental variable to find system32.

I would like to create a filepath and assign it to a string (so that it can have yet more added to it later on in my program) the code takes (well i want it to but it doesn't) the name of a drive selected previously and then adds this to a string to create a string variable that refers to a file. and then (as usual) i want to use thes files and display them in a combobox but i want to only select files that have a pre selected 2characters at the front. I have got this code so far:
' search for filer drive NETAPP-1
For i = 0 To frmDatabase.drvDB.Items.Count - 1
If InStr(frmDatabase.drvDB.SelectedText(), "\Netapp-1malika", CompareMethod.Text) Then

Is it possible to use 'Tab Stops' when you're concatenating (say) a Label text? I know it can be done for a PrintLine statement but I'm, trying without success, to put tabs after the colons in this code. ( "...... :" & vbTab ...)
Label1.Text = "Width margins:" & a.ToString & " Pixels." & vbCrLf
Label1.Text += "Height margins:" & b.ToString & " Pixels" & vbCrLf
Label1.Text += "Top margin:" & c.ToString & " Pixels" & vbCrLf
Label1.Text += "Bottom margin:" & d.ToString & " Pixels" & vbCrLf

I have a textbox "myTextbox" and a listbox "myList" which shows a list of strings e.g "AAA", "BBB", "CCCC".When the user clicks on an item from the listbox the text must be appended to the end of whatever is in myTextbox with a space preceeding it. e.g " AAA".The user must never be allowed to delete the added text.The user must be allowed to manually enter text in the textbox but it must always be in front of the added text. They must never be allowed to type over the added text or after the added text.I have been trying to get my head around this for a day now and cannot figure it out.

I am trying to insert a string variable inside of two strings, and make a combined string. Public Sub Page_Load() Dim Id As String Id = Trim (Request.QueryString("Id")) End Sub Dim mp3text as string url... & Id & ".mp3" My goal is to make the mp3text variable have a string that is: url...(If Id is 7) It is for some reason not connecting up correctly. I checked what string it is outputting and this is what it is giving: url...It is missing the Id content.

I'm concatenating data files, but the problem is that I'm seeing some extra bytes where the files are joined. The new file has extra bytes. I had thought this was maybe a problem with encoding.Here are the methods that I've tried to use to concatenate the files. The first example I'm getting extra 0xA0 0x00 bytes.
Dim inputfiles() As String = Directory.GetFiles(sourcedir, pattern)
Dim bufSize As Integer = 1024 * 64
Dim buf As Byte() = New Byte(bufSize) {}

The code below works for the class that I hard coded "XCCustomers" in my RetrieveIDandName method where I use CType. However, I would like to be able to pass in various classes and property names to get the integer and string LIST returned. For example, in my code below, I would like to also pass in "XCEmployees" to my RetrieveIDandName method. I feel so close... I was hoping someone knew how to use CType where I can pass in the class name as a string variable.
Note, all the other examples I have seen and tried fail because we are using Option Strict On which disallows late binding. That is why I need to use CType.I also studied the "Activator.CreateInstance" code examples to try to get the class reference instance by string name but I was unable to get CType to work with that.When I use obj.GetType.Name or obj.GetType.FullName in place of the "XCCustomers" in CType(obj, XCCustomers)(i)I get the error "Type 'obj.GetType.Name' is not defined" or "Type 'obj.GetType.FullName' is not defined"

I have this simple-minded query:
select a.str_number+' '+a.str_name+' '+a.str_suffix+' '+a.str_apt AS addr from mytable
This query works as long as none of the concatenated values are not NULL. If any is null, the address does not show.
I tried this:
select IsNULL(a.str_number+' '+a.str_name+' '+a.str_suffix+' '+a.str_apt AS addr,'') from table
What I would like to accomplish is to replace NULL with empty space if the value is null but I still get no values.

I have a List(of String()). I have written a custom comparer (implements IComparer(of string)) to do an alphanumeric sort.Is there a way to sort the List using a given index to determine which position in the String() to sort by? In other words one time I might sort by Index = 0 and another time by Index = 3. The length of all String() in the list is the same.For reference this question is similar to Sort List<String[]> except I am using VB.net and that question is hardwired to Index=0.
EDIT from OP's comments:I started simple with the non custom comparer but I am getting an error: expression does not produce a value. Not sure what I am doing wrong.Here is the code:
Public Shared Function SortListOfStringArray(ByVal ListOfStringArray As List(Of String()), ByVal SortByIndex As Integer) As List(Of String())
Return ListOfStringArray.Sort(Function(x, y) x(SortByIndex).CompareTo(y(SortByIndex)))
End Function

Well, the path of the .zip file has spaces in it and it's not recongizing the path as a valid path. Is there a another way to tackle this problem besides the shell?I can't us pkzip either.

just found out that replace(string does not do the same as string.replace when my string variable was an empty str the first one returns "nothing" and the second returns an empty string (as expected).just sloppy coding anyhow, it was a function that was converted from classic asp and never rewritten properly.
