View 1 RepliesI am looking into data validation as I need a way of setting a textbox to only accept numeric values. I have had a search for this and it doesn't seem as straight forward as I had hoped.
I have found a couple of possible methods, although the sites which I found them where very unclear on how they actually work. I feel strongly that I should know how all of my own programs work >_>
I have no actually got this to work with my program yet. Are there better methods than this?

I am writing a scripting language which used .net for execution. Now I have written a function which accepts an object and return a set of numeric values. I wanted user to pass any numeric array (e.g. integer,single,double,long) and I could return values in that format. I mean user can retrieve value in any numeric array type rather than specifying an array type. E.g.

I need to write a program in VB 2008 express that takes an user entry from a textbox and strips out all the spaces, changes it to either all upper case or all lower case then checks to see if it is a palindrome. I must also include a loop structure and a decision structure. I have seen bits and pieces of code but I do not really know how to put them together. Basically I need it from the button click to the end. ?

I'd like to take numeric strings of arbitrary length and insert a space every 2 characters.
So 1233456 becomes 12 33 45 6. Is there a way I can use format as string or IFormatProvider, like? That would put a limit on how long the string could be though, right? Since I'm casting to a long.

Well, it's really my first time to try Visual Basic .NET, then I realized that not all my previous experience with VB6 will work smoothly in VB.NET. I am creating a simple program that will enter a name in the TextBox and will greet them by using the MessageBox class. But I wonder, since the TextBox that I'll be using is for inputting a name, I want to "trap" all numeric keys in my keyboard, I just don't know how to do it. This is fair easy in VB6, using the Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer) subroutine.

I am using a masked text box to allow users to enter a serial number. The problem is that this serial number has to be communicated over the phone and people seem to be having trouble differentiating between O and 0 and I and 1.
I thought that a good solution to this might be some way of highlighting which characters in the textbox were numeric characters (as opposed to alphabetic characters). Obviously there is no way to do this without using a richtextbox and then I lose the masking ability. Highlight numeric characters in a maskedtextbox?

View 1 RepliesI am attempting to write a programme where a user can type in a 'string' into a textbox. A data dictionary will contain specific keywords relating to a specific classification, where an algorithm can detect whether any of the keywords occur in the 'string'. Here are the processes that need to occur:
1) A data dictionary, that contains keywords relating to specific classes eg. (IT Issues, Printer, Software, Password).
2) An algorithm needs to compare the words in the Data Dictionary to that of the 'string' to detect any matches.
3) A rule set to determine what classification the 'string' needs to be classed as.
Essentially I am trying to replicate the Windows 7 (In-Windows) activation key TextBox form. The Form where it will auto capitalize letters, remove or deny all non alphanumeric characters except dashes every 5 characters that will be auto-input.I assume this can be done with a fairly complicated replacement Regular Expression but I cannot seem to create one to fit the needs.
This is an Example of what I have right now, but it creates an infinite loop as it removes all characters including dashes, than adds a dash, which changes the text and removes the dash again.

In our projects we use setting variables to store user setting for the applications. Moreover, with every latest version of the applications, we upgrade these variables to retain user settings.Normally, this works fine, but recently one of my end user reported an error i.e.Configuration System failed to initialize". The error is related to user.config file. Therefore we requested the user to send us his file.After received the folder, we noticed that it contains 3 files (3begfjb.newcfg,3begfjb.tmp and user. config). 3begfjb.tmp is an empty file, while 3begfjb.newcfg and user.config are identical files. We tried to open these files but the data in user.config isn't proper xml rather its unreadable formatted file.Do any you guys had experienced this sort of issue or any ideas how and what may have created these files and corrupted user.config file.
