I've read through all the search results for this and haven't quite got it yet. I often get given Excel spreadsheets of file names and have to check through them for duplicate names.I am making an app to do this for me. I've extracted the data from Excel I'm just having issues with checking for the duplicate. I've tried 2 different ways I found online and neither are working for me,

I have a program where you have three entries, CD name, artist, price and it goes into a listbox and .txt file when closing. I have to have a message box if you enter the same CD name. I have a code to open the .txt file and compare strings but I need to change it to compare only the CD name and not all three entries. Is there a way to do my string compare against my listbox without opening the .txt file?? The program loads the listbox from the .txt file when opening.

My program is half a formulator, and half ordering system. Where I get stuck is the ordering system part. In one screen I have 5 check boxes that you can check for which products you want to order. The products you checked then get sent to another screen and put into a list box with a quantity variable that starts at 1 attached to it. Now, if you check the same product again, another time through the program, as of now, quantity accumulates to 2, which is good, that's what I want. My problem is I want quantity to keep accumulating, right now it accumulates to 2, then on a third pass through the program,it duplicates the entry, so now in the list box has the original product and quantity of 2, and another entry that has the product with quantity of 2. 't quite understand how they work. Here's the code:
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Public Class OrderRequest
[code]....
I am being forced to us Option Strict in my class and this is a new feature to me. Right now my code is having trouble comparing the current time to be added (A Date) with the list of times (Object). Here is my complete code
Option Strict On

I'm trying to add a string to a listbox if there is none exact string existed inside, but it turns out a very weird error. Look at this.
On form_load, I have this:
AddHandler Server1.OnUserLoggedIn, AddressOf HandleUser

Public Sub HandleUser(ByVal username As String)
'Here, you handle adding the text to a text box.
Me.Invoke(New PrintMessageDelegate(AddressOf AddUser), username)
End Sub

The output is when I connect the first client, it works fine. But, when I try to connect the second client, it prints out three times both the listbox1 item and the txtDisplay. It's like get caught in loop, but I have tried other kind of loops like for each and other string comparison too, still work that way.
How would one go about checking a listbox's items for duplicates? Basically I need to write a program that displays the teams from a text file provided by my instructor, in alphabetical order. I can do that, but what I can't figure out is how to prevent the For loop from adding a duplicate team. What I'm envisioning is:
If teams(i).name is not in lstTeams.Items Then
lstTeams.Items.Add(teams(i).name)
End If
I have a program that compiles and works so far, except for the above problem and my alphabetical order (which I can probably figure out on my own:
Public Class danbrockteams
Structure team
Dim name As String
[Code]....
This works except that my listbox is filled with the team every player is in rather than just listing all possible teams. Not exactly looking for someone to just give me the answer, as I understand things best when figuring them out on my own, so I suppose a hint is what I'm really after.
How do I prevent a duplicate entry from a text field by using SQL Query?
View 3 RepliesI have 50 Texboxes.
I need to count the number of duplicate entries, and provide a summary (count) for each product code. This makes it easier when the order needs to be placed, and the user don't have to count each value manually.
I have tried looping through all 50 boxes to no avail. This seemed easy, but, clearly I am to thick to think of a solution.
I've a question to ask about what kind of the vb.net command suitable to use apply to get the duplicate serial number in notepad?
Ifstrdata.Contains(txt_sn.Text)
Then
if strdata.contains(txt_sn.text)> 1 then --> is this command valid to find those record more than 1 in notepad?
msgbox.show("Duplicate entries was found")
The following solution should allow the user to enter 'colors' to a combo box; however, if the color is already entered (in an upper, lower case or mixed case format), then the 'Duplicate Color' message should be displayed. I get the message, but my color is also being converted to an upper case format in the combo box.

I'm using VB .NET and I know that Union normally works ByRef but in VB, Strings are generally processed as if they were primitive datatypes.Consequently, here's the problem:

secondFile = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "2.txt").Split(vbNewLine)

I am using the DataSet to test for data errors on a DataGridView (to give the user feedback before they save changes back to the database). RowChanging event has the code at the bottom and this manages error messages on the DGV via an ErrorProvider. I want to add something to this code that esnures there are no duplicate rows (it's a 2 column table and one of those is the autoincrement PK). However I cannot work out how to do this and since the column in the database is set to Indexed (No Duplicates) it will throw an Ole error if I don't handle it, I could manage it in a Try block around TableAdapter.Adapter.Update but would prefer not to add needless round trips to the DB when it really ought to be simple to do it in the code (and preferably in the DataSet, not the form).
I found the following code (Forum Post) and try as I might I can't make it work since I can't get access to a DataTable within the RowChanging event that allows me to run DataTable.Rows.Find().
Dim expression as String
Dim matchingRow as DataRow
matchingRow = Mytable.Rows.Find(expression)
In my case:Mytable would be some kind of reference to the table / dataset etc.
'expression' would be e.Row.compclass.ToString
* a reference to the database table the form works with (bearing in mind that this code is in the DataSet not in the form). I've tried properties/methods of the DataSet itself; creating a new DataTable and linking it to the DataSet Table (or DB Table); creating
a new DataTable and loading it with the table contents - Searching MSDN and the forums hasn't popped anything up yet.I'm currently experimenting around this code:
Dim strCompClass As String = e.Row.compclass.ToString
strCompClass.Trim()
Dim foundRow As DataRow = ???.Rows.Find(strCompClass)
[code]....
This is the current code in the RowChanging event. The new code would be inserted after the last End If in the code below.

I have a form where two fields on the first page of the form make up the primary key. I want to check for duplicate values before attempting to insert the record, since I don't want the user to go all the way through the form only to find out they can't submit it. So I'm trying to check for duplicate values when the user tries to go to the next page of the form. I wasn't quite sure how to do it, and sure enough I'm getting an error. ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object.") The problem is apparently in my if statement, "If myValue.Length > 0 Then", but I'm not sure what needs to be in place of that.

I just starting coding in VB.net about two weeks ago so I'm still a begging and I learn best by seeing working code and then adapting it to my situation. That being said, I need help displaying table entries in a listbox. I've successfully created a database in my test application, added it to my Data Sources and used a drag / drop method to add Datagrid View & Details (labels & textboxes) to my application for testing purposes. Now I want to try and display table entries in a listbox.
Example Database:Table: Contact
- ContactID (autonumber) [primary key]
- FirstName (text 50 limit[code]....
Also is there any benefit or down side to creating a database in MS Access, create the relationships & tables, then attaching that database to my application or is it better to create the database in the application like I did in the example above by using the Add New - Service-Based Database option?
I have a program with two forms, one that handles the applications controls, and the other with the functions that open a file (csv), open a database, and query the database. The controls on the first form are a list box, three labels (to display parsed csv information), and three buttons (clear database, load database from csv, and load listbox).
The clear database and load database buttons (events) seem to function correctly.On the other hand, the load list box event doesn't function 100% the way I'd want. [And, I can't test the selected index event yet]
The code for the load list box event is:
Code:
Dim db As New DBUpdt 'second form
b.openConnection("weather.mdb") 'open database connection
db.query("SELECT * FROM stations") 'query database
Do While db.moreRecords
[Code]...
You see, in my new VB application, I have a form with a TextBox and a ListBox, and I need to make it so that, whenever some text is written in the TextBox, a SELECT operation must be performed in a table belonging to an SQL database, in order to return the elements of a particular column that are LIKE the text I just wrote in my TextBox. The results of this SELECT operation must then be written inside the ListBox.In other words, whenever I have some text inside my TextBox1, I have to do:
SELECT Description FROM Elements WHERE Description LIKE TextBox1.Text (this must be done whenever the text changes)And the results of this operation must be displayed in the ListBox on the side.
Just what the title says. I have a listbox with varied entries, all in one format:name, email, phone, age
When an entry is selected, and when a certain button is clicked, I require the entry to be removed from the listbox and the four categories from the entry must each go into their assigned textboxes.
I have 7 textbox entries and I would like to add them to a listbox and when I close my application it would save them, I have the code for the 7 texboxes and everything like that has been done, but I just dont know how to add multiple textboxs to a listbox then save the list box so when I close the application and reopen it, itll still be there. I know I need a button to add the list to the listbox, but how do I save them, so theyll still be there?

View 1 RepliesI have been working on a pythagorean theorem calculator and am actually stuck on the final bit of code. What I am trying to do is check the values (integers) inside a listbox, remove duplicate number (both values), and input one of the values into a textbox.
Here is an example of what I am doing:
LISTBOX VALUES
2
2
3
[code]....
When the program runs, check listbox value #1 and listbox value #2, if listbox value #1 and #2 match (2 & 2), input that value (not both duplicates) into a variable, remove both of the duplicate values, continue checking the rest of the values, and finally multiply the leftover values. I am sure that sounds confusing. Here is what the final output will look like

I want to set a certain column to true or false automatically based on what value another column has entered. I managed to get this working by myself using the 'SQL Pane' in VB and testing it by using execute sql but I don't know what to do now. I assumed that I could just save it and it would work from there but that's not the case, it dissapears from the SQL Pane if I close the project (even though it worked fine when I ran the project the first time), so where do I put it/what do I do with it in order to get this to work?
