I am wondering how to concatenate a string and an integer to form a button name.eg, ("button" & x) where x is an integer to form button1, button2, etc so i can change the backcolor of the buttons.
View 2 RepliesIs there any way to get common control names like Save, Copy or Undo Redo in the user's windows language? (I saw this in some programs which weren't made for my windows language. Also the Yes No Massage Boxes will change...)
View 1 Repliesi need to access file names so i can change them using my program. i need to also have a browse button which brings up a box to navigate and select a folder which i can then change the name of all the pictures within it.i have a text box which i will use to replace the existing name with a name that i choose such as 'dnjnjnf' change to #1, #2, #3 ... ect so will need a loop to increase the number everytime.
View 7 RepliesI've spent the last 3 hours trying to figure out why this string won't concatenate.
The function takes in a mapped drive letter and creates a UNC path and returns it.
Any thoughts welcome:
In VB.net, I tested concatenating 100k strings and found out one thread alone did it in 23 milliseconds. Two threads (each concatenating 50k) then joining the two at the end took 30 milliseconds. Performance wise, it didn't seem beneficial to utilize multiple threads when dealing with only 100k concatenations. Then I tried 3 million string concatenations and two threads each handling 1.5MM always demolished one thread handling all 3 million. I imagine at some point using 3 threads becomes beneficial, then 4, and so on. Is there a more efficient way to concatenate millions of strings in .NET?
fyi, this is the code I wrote:
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Threading
Imports System.IO

Is there any difference between & and + operators while concatenating string?if yes, then what is difference? And if No, then why below code generating exception?
Example:
Dim s, s1, t As String
Dim i As Integer
s1 = "Hello"
[code]....
i am currently working on a small project, but to be honest i am quite new to VB i am trying to run this code:
For i As Integer = 1 To box_select_solp
cell_solp_text(i).Controls.Add(New LiteralControl("SOLP" & i & "#: "))
Next i
The below program throws a runtime error (invalid conversion from double) because there is [code]It compiles fine, but when the program is run, it throws a runtime error.Is this a compiler bug? Shouldn't it stop me with a compiler error, like invalid syntax ?
View 2 RepliesPossible Duplicate: The difference between + and & for joining strings in VB.Net.In VB.NET you can use either += or &= to concatenante a string (ignoring using a StringBuilder for this question -- this is directed at a very simple concatenation).
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to compose a String from multiple Strings, where some of the Strings may be in Arabic letters, the problem is that when I concatenate them, their order is being messed !!
For example, I have the following Strings:
Ref1
مسكه
2
Left
I want to concatenate them with the same previous order seperated by "-", but instead I get Ref1-مسكه-2-Left, as you can see, 2 is written before مسكه Does anyone know how to fix this problem, because it's really important in my case to have the exact same order, and I don't know where or when I might have these arabic strings, because it's being entered by User.

When I am concatenating object values together to form a string in VB.NET, is there a difference in performance or a recommended best practice between using the & concat or the + concat with calls to .ToString() on each object?
Example (which is faster or best practice):
Dim result1 As String = 10 & "em"
Dim result2 As String = 10.ToString() + "em"

This is what I want, but it doesn't help that its in the debug output...I need to put it into a single string. I've tried using a_thing.count(i).tostring, but it doesnt work. If I look at the arrays individually, they have exactly the contents I want. But I can't concatenate them. Does it have something to do with suppressing the new line that debug.writeline usually creates?

View 8 RepliesI am doing work for a client who has lost the source code for one of their VB.Net WinForms applications. The assembly they have is not obfuscated at all. I am trying to recover as much of the source as I can as C# source and have tried several tools for decompiling assemblies, including Reflector, ILSpy and JustDecompile (all the latest versions), but they all produce code with a huge number of errors in them. Because of the large number of errors in the generated code, I am going to ask about the specific errors (in different questions), get more directed answers and in this way try shed some light on why all the tools are having difficulty decompiling this assembly. This question pertains to the fact that the code generated by all these tools always have a large number of invalid member variables (fields) such as the following:
private short $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$nHeight;
private ArrayList $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$oColumnLefts;
private StaticLocalInitFlag $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$oColumnLefts$Init;
why the generated code has these invalid member variables?
I've got a small app which I use to start a 3rd party application. When run from a shortcut the VB app starts the 3rd party app to and when loaded it displays its own file/folder interface, the VB app the closes itself. However, if you open a file in explorer associated with the 3rd party app, the 3rd party application loads and opens the file itself and not the file/open interface.
Uh OK, so what's the problem??The issue is I have changed the file extension associated with the 3rd party app to now use my VB app. I can successfully open files with the app from explorer if there are no spaces in the file or folder path however if there are, the 3rd party app opens and displays a File not found error message and gives the path up to the point where the space then follows.The relevant snippets of code from the app relating to the issue is below, specifically Dim Arguments variable where I am not quite sure how my string cocantenation should be to deal with the value of the variable 'Filename' which may or may not contain spaces.

I am creating a Yahtzee game, the first thing I want my game to do when it loads is ask for the player/players name/names, so that there scores can be saved to a high scores table.I have decided to add a text file to my project as a start and I was thinking of using an array to add the score for the winner at the end of each game.I am stuggling on how to really start this though. I have come up with an idea, I could do with some advise as to weather my idea is any good.First thing, I need to add a text file and call it something like HighScores..Then I need to add a Windows Form to my project and add some controls for the user/users to fill in there name/names..How can I get my Windows Form for the players names to load when the application is started, do I use a form load event???
