This is more of a curiosity question on what the VB compiler is doing. Basically the following code generates an error,
If "String" = CInt(1) Then
End If
As it should. What makes me curious is the error reported is
Conversion from string "String" to type 'Double' is not valid.
So, I guess my question is, why is the compiler attempting to convert to a Double when I would assume it should be converting to Integer?
I have a string such as
Dim my_sum As string = "100*10-5"
but when i do this:
msgbox(mysum)
it will output "100*10-5"
but i want it too output it so it works the sum out which should be 995
colordialog1.color will yield "Color [A=255, R=95, G=33, B=222]", but i would like to return an integer like 2349821 instead. how is this possible?

View 4 RepliesI am totally new with VB.NET. I have started coding for Modbus protocol. The response that I receive from the slave is as below -
01 = byte slave id
03 = byte function code
04 = byte -no. of bytes sent by slave
00 = byte(8 bits) (Lower Register MSB)
00 = byte(8 bits) (Lower Register LSB)
64 = byte(8 bits) (Upper Register MSB)
00 = byte(8 bits) (Upper Register LSB)
2bytes for crc
Now I want the value of 64 00 00 00 into floating point number in Vb.net . I think in vb.net its single as its 32bit floating precision number. Now the bytes that I need are 00 64 00 00 but if i process in this way the output is different, so I tried manually putting the data into the byte array and found out that I need 64 00 00 00 to be processed so that i can get desired output.
I have been using this code for a long time now and it has always been accurate. I recently tried to convert a large string from one base to another and some weird stuff happens.
When I convert from base 36 to base 10, the result is accurate. When I convert the result back to base 36, it becomes inaccurate.

View 7 RepliesThis error first appear to occur randomly. Steps to recreate:Open Visual Studio and load a solution (some files automatically opened) - this is when the problem occurs Close all open files Restart visual studio and load solution (no issues)Open Exactly the same files again, restart visual studio and load solution so files open automatically (problem occurs!)
However, when trying to narrow it down to a single file (that is automatically opened when the solution is loaded), I couldn't reproduce the problem. Now with all the files open again the problem doesn't occur!!! So it looks like it is fixed - though this happened before and eventually the issue came back.
I think it is to do with one of the user controls with DevExpress controls on it - when the error occurs, the designer displays the error. Though I can't reproduce it at the moment to confirm that.
I created a listbox using VB.NET. When the user select an item (it is a string format) in the listbox and click on a button, there will be a number beside the string and the number will increment which time the button is clicked. Anyone know how to do it...?Below is the coding I'd done, but I don't know how to do the increment part. Anyone know what coding I need to add?
Dim no As Integer = 0
listBox.Items.Add(listBox.SelectedItem & no)
If I look at the IL that is created in Linqpad for the two following code snippets, I wonder what happens here.
In c#
int i = 42;
results in the following IL code
IL_0000: ret
whereas in VB
Dim i As Integer = 42
it is
IL_0000: ldc.i4.s 2A
IL_0002: stloc.0
Apparently, the c# compiler understands the the value is never used and thus simply returns nothing. In VB.NET the actual code is translated.Is that due to differences in compiler optimization or is there anything else at work?
Update: Just to clarify this - I just enter this one line into LinqPad and look at the IL it creates (most definitely by running the respective compiler). There is no program.

How can I Convert a Unicode value to its equivalent string for example i have "రమెశ్" and i need a function that accepts this unicode value and returns a string I was looking at the System.Text.Encoding.Convert() function but that does not take in a Unicode value, it takes 2 encodings and a byte array. I bascially have a byte array that I need to save in a string field and then come back later and convert the string first back to a byte array. So i use ByteConverter.GetString(byteArray) to save the byte array to a string but can't get it back to a byte array.
