I want to convert a string to a Gridview.
So I tried this[code]...
But the strGridView had a blue underline that says string cannot be converted to GridView so I tried this[code]...
But now it is giving the error gvwName cannot be converted to Integer.
Is it really being converted into an integer when I cast it like this?
How should I convert string into a gridview or another objects like checkbox?

I have a gridview that is bound to a datasource on a Windows Form (VB.NET). The grid displays a list of "certifications", and each "certification" can be associated with many languages. So in the grid, I'd like to display "languages" as a column, and display a comma delimited list of the language names for each "certification".
In the "certification" class, one of the properties is a list of "language" objects, and each "language" has an ID (guid), name (string), and value (integer).
So in the datasource, I have the list of "languages", but I can't figure out how to display them in a column on the grid. The gridview won't let me add the language list property as a column.
So is the ONLY way to add a new property on the "certification" class, which returns a string that contains the comma delimited list, and show THAT on the grid? Or is there a way to display that list of "languages"?
I have a GridView which is programatically filled from the DB (not a SqlDataSource or such). There are 4 columns which are TemplateFields as I format their text. They are Dates and Times and this is the one of their TemplateField:[code]'ve been using the method in this Post which was converted to VB code from this to convert the GridView to a PDF using iTextSharp.My issue is that I'm getting a Null Reference exception here when adding the GridView data to the PDF(inside the For Loops):[code]These Date/Time columns show up as empty on the PDF while all other columns show up with no issues.
View 1 RepliesI have a linq query like that:
Elementos = From b In Elementos Where b.Value.IdGrupo = 0 Select b
"Elementos" is a dictionary(of long, MyObject). MyObject has approximately 50 properties.
The problem I have is that I have a new requirement to accept string parameter with a "where" condition. Something like "property1>10 and property2 like 'anystring' or property3<=25". (That means any property could have a condition. I have string and numeric properties.)
I'd like to keep using linq, adding the condition as it comes. I'm aware that it could produce an exception if the condition is misspelled or something, but that's acceptable (by try catchs). I wouldn't want to parse the string to build parameters or anything.
I was wondering how I could go about getting a list of string from a list of objects, while removing duplicates[code]....

I'd like to convert a string which contains a decimal number into string that contains the binary value, the octal and the hexadecimal value of that decimal number.Afterwards I also like to convert a string containing a binary, octal and hexd. number into a decimal string.Basically I'm looking for the functions:
dec2bin
dec2oct
dec2hex
bin2dec
oct2dec
hex2dec
I'd not prefer to rewrite a function, I'm sure the framework must have these functions already.
I have a function that is getting passed a String and a DataRow.The String is a custom formatter. The idea is to do this
String.Format(passed_in_String, DataRow("ColumnINeed"))
The reason this is being done is at this point we have no idea what the column contains.However, if the formatter is "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" and the DataRow("ColumnINeed") is an integer containing 42, String.Format is returning: MM/dd/yyyy In this situation I need it to throw an exception instead of returning nonsense.Is there anyway to make String.Format throw an exception if the object does not match what the format string is expecting?

View 3 RepliesHow find an object's type when it is a subclass of another object and I only know the string value of the object's type's name. I created the following classes:
HTML
Public Class word
End Class
Public Class noun
Inherits word
[Code] .....
Then, in my code I create a new properNoun and check to see if it is a properNoun, noun or word:
HTML
Private Sub checkTypes()
Dim pn As New properNoun
MsgBox("Is a properNoun: :" & TypeOf pn Is properNoun) 'TRUE
MsgBox("Is a noun: :" & TypeOf pn Is noun) 'TRUE
[Code] .....
I correctly see that pn is a properNoun, a noun and a word. The problem is, using 'GetType' to check pn against a string value, I can only see that pn is a properNoun, not that its parent classes are noun and word. Is there a way to check pn against the string value "noun" or "word" and get back a positive result, indicating that pn is indeed a noun and a word as well as a properNoun?
I have a question. I have a class of Cars that I need to display in a simpli-ish string if they will be sold or not base on their number.
[Code]...
I'd like to display a simple string like this:Cars to be sold: 1, 3-5, 7-8, 11, which is based of the .Sell value.Is there some kind of heuristic to create this kind of string in .NET or is it just a bunch of for/each and if/then and redimming of arrays?
Is there a way to dynamically create an object using a string as the class name?I've been off VB for several years now, but to solve a problem in another language, I'm forced to develop a wrapper in this one. I have a factory method to dynamically create and return an object of a type based on input from elsewhere. The provided input is meant to be the class name from which to create an object from. Normal syntax means that the entire class has to be explicitly spelled out. To do it this way, there could literally be hundreds of if/then's or cases to handle all the available class/object choices within the referenced libs:
If c_name = "Button" then obj = new System.Windows.Forms.Button
If c_name = "Form" then obj = new System.Windows.Forms.Form

I am running into a simple issue for which I cannot find an effective solution.
I need to convert 2 D array of objects to 1D String.
Dim saRet(,) As Object = Nothing Dim fileLineArray() As String = Nothing
SaRet = xlrange.Value //it gets values assigned as objects
In a loop....
fileLineArray(i) = Cstr(SaRet(i,0))
I get the error, index was out of bound. ToString isnt able to convert 2d array of objects to 1 D.

I have lots of labels that I need to refer to.
E.g. label1 = listbox1.selecteditem.tostring & "123"
label2 = listbox1.selecteditem.tostring & "123"
I have 20 labels which i need to repeat the same process for. What I found was this code which always gives me the null reference error.
CType(Me.Controls("Label" & i), Label).Text = "what i want here"
I have stated dim i as integer = 1
And later i = i + 1 until it is 20.
I've tried i.tostring and cstr(i) when referring to it but it keeps saying it doesn't exists even though i have labels 1 to 20 named label1, label2 etc. on my Form.
I don't know if I explained this in my title, this is what i want to do. (In VB on a active server page) I have 5 buttons called but1.....but2. Right now I have the following code to make them invisible
but1.Visible=false;
but2.Visible=false;
but3.Visible=false;
but4.Visible=false;
but5.Visible=false,
Is there a way to access the objects by using a string, example
for(i=i;i<6;i++
items("but"+str(i)).visible=false
I am using standard String.Format method. It is using numeric objects.
Console.WriteLine("obj1 = {0} and obj2 = {1}", "obj1", "obj2");
I want to use named indexes.Like this
Console.WriteLine("obj1 = {o1} and obj2 = {o2}",
new { o1 = "obj1", o2 = "obj2"});

I figure I should use 'Aggregate' but apparently I am getting it wrong First I get a list of my Entity objects Dim employers As List(Of myEntity) = (New XXXX()).getZZZ(userName, userType) Then I figured this would be a way to put all the names in a string Dim names as String = employers.Aggregate(Function(current, [next]) current.Name & " " & [next].Name)

I want to retrieve an object by using a string representation of the objects name. For example lets say i want to change the font of 3 labels on a form programatically. Instead of changing the font property for each individual label like so:
Label1.Font = FontDialog1.Font
Label2.Font = FontDialog1.Font
Label3.Font = FontDialog1.Font
I want iterate through the labels in a For..next loop like so:

I'm writing a program that reads a directory of xml files (not well-formed), parses the xml, and dumps the data into an Excel Workbook.The file contents are similar in that they have many common xml nodes/attributes.Some files have additional nodes/attributes.The xml in these files represent configuration settings for a Web Application, one file per user.The expected output is a worksheet with a column for each node/attribute combination and a row of node/attribute values for each user.I'm just about finished with the program, but I've run into a bit of a snag.As the final step in the process, I need to loop through a generic list of array objects (that represent a user row) and send the array elements to Excel.I don't know the correct syntax to get the array objects out of the list and have been unable to find sample code specific to generic lists of array objects.[code]

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a mass text replacer program because I'm sick of all the 10-day trial ones out there that aren't very good.The entire program is basically finished (All easy stuff), but now I need to code the actual replace/delete stuff, which I'm stuck on because apparently the way I originally intended to do it is not possible.
The way it works is you load a text file (.txt, .cfg, .ini, .doc, etc.) which opens a StreamReader which writes all the data into a listbox. Then you pick whether you want to replace or delete a string. If you select replace, then you enter the string to search for and in another textbox you enter the string to replace it with.
The way I originally intended to do this was like this:
If o1.Text = "Replace" Then 'The option
Replace(txtfile, str1, a1) 'txtfile is the data, str1 is the string to find and a1 is the replacement
End If
The problem is, I believe this method requires txtfile, str1 and a1 to be strings, but they're all 1-dimensional string arrays, which cannot be converted to strings, or at least I don't know how to convert them.
A friend told me one way I could do this is to open both a StreamReader and StreamWriter and do the replace/delete line by line as they are entered into the memory and write them to a temporary file which is then copied over the original. I can do this kind of, but I still don't know the proper way of doing the actual replace code because the string to find and the string to replace with are still 1-dimensional string arrays rather than strings.
