A,B,C but my coding run the result as
ABC My coding:
& cboxOwner.Text & "' & '" , "' & '" & cboxOwner2.Text & "' , '" & cboxOwner3.Text & "'Any wrong?
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 was wondering if it was possible to reference a member of a structure by using a string variable. Here's an example of what i'm talking about:

Now, I know that you would usually reference the value in any of the members by using the following (String1 in this case)

I have many textboxes that I need to reference dymanically. The controls themselves aren't dynamic, just the way I need to reference them.I've got several text boxes say:
txtMe1
txtMe2
txtMe3
...
txtMe100
I will need to randomly change one of the properties of the edit boxes. So lets say it picks a random number between 1-100 which is 56. So, I would want to change the background of my 56th edit box to:
txtMe56.Backcolour = Color.Gray
The only way I could think of doing this would be to have one giant select case statement to evaluate the random number. But, that is really dirty and not the best peformance wise (this could potentially get called hundreds of times) so was wondering what my options are?I tried to concatenate the random number to my generic control name 'txtMe' but it throws a wobbler. I essentially would want the following to worK:
dim iNum as integer = 56
txtMe & iNum & .Backcolour = Color.Gray
I have 10 variables that have numbers at the end in sequential order (e.g. V1, V2, V3, ect.). I would like to perform a function to find what the position is in an array and then add then add the value to the correct variable. Can I combine V & and the number to manipulate the variable?

I seem to be having a problem with the Format() Function. I am trying to format a string of text from a variable so that it uses commas as thousand separators, but I can't seem to get it working properly. Here's what I'm using:
Dim testVar As String
testVar = "10000"
testVar = Format$(testVar,
When I use this code, it changes the variable's value to The strange thing is, it works fine if I use a number instead of the Variable. It also works fine if I use a "predefined numeric format" instead of my custom one. For example, if I use:
testVar = Format$(testVar, "Standard")it works just fine, but that's not what I want (otherwise I'd just do it this way.) It also works fine when I do this:
testVar = Format$(10000, And, although in the example code I've written here, it seems like I could just do it this way, in my actual program, I can't. I have to set it dynamically with the variable.
So it seems like both portions of my Format() Function are working, but just not together, and I can't seem to figure out why. anyone shed some light on this for me and tell me what I'm doing wrong? From every example I can find on the internet about using this function with a variable, I'm doing it correctly, but mine isn't working.
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.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to declare a variable using the text of, lets say a string, as the name?If u dont get it im looking for something like;Dim Var + string1 As PictureBox..In the code "Var" is the start of the name and "string1" is the end of it so if string1 was "Hello", the picturebox would have been named VarHello.
View 2 RepliesLet's say I've got: Dim los1 as New List(Of String) los1.Add("Some value")
Dim los2 as New List(Of String) los2.Add("More values")
What would be the most efficient way to combine the two into a single List(Of String)?
Edit: While I love the solutions everyone has provided, I probably should have also mentioned I'm stuck using the .NET 2.0 framework.
How do I read all the text from a text file and save it as a string variable? For some reason I remembered it being something like this: IO.FromFile.ReadAllText("path") but thats not it.

I need to get just the date and times from this list, and put them in variables. so that I'll end up with:
1) A string with a value as a date, which would be "10 January, 2011" for example: strDate1 would have the value of "10 January, 2011"
2) A start time, for example: strStartTime1 would have the value of 9:45
3) An end time, for example strEndTime1 would have the value of 18:00

View 6 RepliesI have a WinForms app with a multi-line textbox. This displays and retains (after loading from the DB) line break characters fine. However if I assign the TextBox.Text value to a string variable and then re-assign the variable back to the TextBox.Text property, the line break characters are lost and replaced with a square character (can't past them here as they just paste as a line break!)

I have a long text file with job descriptions with each description split over 5 rows. (2 examples are below.) I would like to combine each of the 5 rows of the single description into 1 row. so for example the 10 lines below would be combined into 2 rows so that I can then import into SQL server and clean it up. I'm fairly new to vb.net but I've written the code to import the text file and export it again but I need to process it after import.

In my form, A user can do some stuff on my program which will create a new tabpage with a text box on it. The user also selects the name of the tab, which is then the name of the textbox with a "2" on the end of it.
What I need to know is how to get the texts from however many tabpage's textboxes there are and combine them into one textbox, as a sort of receipt.
What I was thinking, because I have this method of removing all the tabpages, is using a code like the one below maybe to do the job, not sure how I would alter it to work though. [code]...
I have a form that I am adding a set of buttons to. I am adding an event to those buttons. I need this event to function slightly to determine what button was pressed.
I need the button to simply set a string variable equal to the clicked buttons text so I can determine what button was pressed.
How can this be accomplished?

View 2 RepliesI am upgrading a very large project from VB6 to VS2008. I have several forms with dozens of combo boxes on each form. I use the same combo box names for each form and want to fill them from a module with different items depending upon the calling form. In VB6, I dimensioned a public variable - FormName as object and called Set FormName = frmMyForm1 on Form Load. In a module, I was able to write the following code:
With FormName
.combobox1.additem("item")
.combobox2.additem("item"
End With
I cannot make this work in VB.Net. When the form loads I call FormName = Me. If I dimension Friend FormName as Object, I get the error message that Public member combobox1 on type MyForm1 not found. If you are attempting to access members on a late-bound object make sure it is declared public". If I dimension Friend FormName as Form, I get an error that says "combobox1 is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.Form".
I have tried both CType and DirectCast to convert the form variable from Object to Form with no success. I also tried creating a public array and storing each form name in it.
I am working on a little program (game) is called Pig latin. I created a sub procedure and I passed the word to be converted by value and the piglatin word byref.Now when I call the procedure in the button click event I get the wavy green line under the variable passed by reference but the program works ok. Call Convert_to_Pig_Latin(strOriginalWord, trPigLatinThe error message when I hover my mouse over the green line says " Variable strPigLatin' is passed by reference before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime."
