Combobox Assignment Of Variable?
Apr 4, 2011
If I put:
variableName = namecombobox.selectedItem
or
Dim variablename as type = namecombobox.SelectedIndex
Visual studio gives me the error: "Option Strict disallows conversions from object to string.
I can fix this by putting:
variableName = convert.ToString(namecombobox.SelectedItem)
Are all values contained in a combobox automatically treated as a non-string even when they are string values (in this case "Male" & "Female") and what is the correct way of assigning the value selected in a combobox to a variable?

I have noticed in VB.Net that most Dim statements also include an assignment. Eg:Dim myvar As String = "Hello World"As this wasn't possible in VB6 I have always done the following:
Dim myvar As String
myvar = "Hello World"

What is the correct way of assigning the selected index's value from a listbox to a variable? The user selects an item in a listbox and then the output changes depending on their selection.
I use:variablename = listbox.text
in the listBox_SelectedIndexChanged event and this works.
When I use the button_click event I use:
variablename = listbox.selectedindex
But this does not work in the listbox_selectedindexchanged event.you let me know if it is okay to use it like I did above or if I will run into problems and why you cannot use the selectedindex method.

I have some subs that I use that I could make more universal if I could have a ComboBox variable so to speak.
Me.ComboBoxCMFrac.SelectionStart = Me.ComboBoxCMFrac.Text.Length
For the above code is there a way to enter a variable that could be set to whatever ComboBox you wanted. I tried
Dim ObjectComboBox As Object
ObjectComboBox = ComboBoxCMFrac
ObjectComboBox.SelectionStart = ObjectComboBox.text.length
It doesn't accept that in the editor but I'm showing you what I would like to do. If there's no way to do it fine but if there is a way I'd like to know how.

I am trying to have the index value of a selected item in a combobox returned to a variable. Then, if the variable = 1 (which would be the index of th second item in the combobox), I want a groupbox to be hidden (be invisible) on the form. Here is my code...Getting an error that says:
'ListIndex' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox'
Code:
Private Sub cbxAccounts_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim selection As Integer = CInt(cbxAccounts.ListIndex)
If selection = 1 Then gbxCheck.Hide()
End Sub

I have an array of comboboxes on a form. They are declared at the beginning. I wish to make these global variables so I can access them in another form. This does not appear to work.
Code something like this:
Public Class SecondScreen
Public OutputSelectControl() As Combobox = {O1, O2, O3, O4}
Where O1 O2 etc are the names of my comboboxes on this form. I wish to be able to address them from another form like so
localformvariablehere = OutputSelectControl(integervariablehere).Index

I have 13 variables, all called Items1, Items2, Items3 and so on. I have a combo box with items in, each time I click a button I want it so whatever is selected is stored in a variable and if the button is selected again then it stores whatever is selected in the next variable. I know all the code for selecting items in a combo box and transferring it to a variable but the problem I cannot do is the part where each time a button is clicked it stores whatever is selected in the combo box to the next variable.

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.

I'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.

What is the difference between this two ways of returning value in a function in VB.NET?
Using Return Statement:
Public Function Foo() As String
Return "Hello World"
End Function
Using Assignment:
Public Function Foo() As String
Foo = "Hello World"
End Function
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'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?

This assignment works for me TryCast(Me.NamingContainer, LDHello).ToggleChartConfigurationSections = AddressOf LD_SayHello whereas Dim objLDHello As LDHello = TryCast(Me.NamingContainer, LDHello) AddHandler objLDHello.LoveAndLoveOnly, AddressOf LDSayHello fails with an error message like LoveAndLoveOnly is not an event of Universal.LDHello. Visual Studio intellisense is able to pickup the event whereas the background vbc and build compiler are failing. When I need to stack multiple subscribers to the event I need to use AddHandler right?
