I have to turn strings into Unicode. I thought the best way to do this would be as followed
HTML
For...Next to get the string
For...Next to take each character out of the string
For...Next to display each character in Unicode
The only problem I have is with the separation on each character in the string. I know I have to use a For...Next loop to check each spot in the string. But how would I move on past the first character?
This question is similar to How to emulate MySQLs utf8_general_ci collation in PHP string comparisons but I want the function for vb.net rather than PhP.Recently I make a lot of supposedly unique key.Some of the keys are equivalent under UTF8 unicode collation.For example, look at these 2 key:
byers-street-bistro_38.15-79.07
byers-street-bistro_38.15-79.07
If I paste that into front page, and look at the source code you'll see
byers-street-bistro__38.15_-79.07
byers-street-bistro__38.15_-79.07
Note: In stack overflow they still look different.I know it's not the same. I guess even in stack exchange it doesn't show. Say I have 1 million such records and I want to test whether 2 string WILL be declared the same by MySQL UTF8 collation. I want to know that before uploading. How do I do that.So vb.net think that those are different keys. When we created mysql query and upload that to database, the database complain it's the same key. Just one complain and the upload of 1 million databases will be stuck.We don't even know what the hell is ? Where can we look that up anyway?Anyway, I want a function that when given 2 strings will tell me whether they will count as the same or not.If possible we want a function that convert strings into their most "standard" form.For example, seems to encode nothing and the function would recoqnize all those nothing character and eliminate that.Is there such thing?So far this is what I do. I need something more comprehensive.

I wonder, whats the proper, accepted way to convert doubles to strings? I've heard cstr(blah) is wrong (despite it working perfectly OK for me....), what is the proper way to do this say if I want to display the value of a double in a textbox (along with 'the answer is' or somesuch)?
View 1 RepliesCan you look at this code? It's a class module that I made so I can make our application more modular.
In the code there are 3 lines of code which have this as part of it: FormBrowseAttendance.ComboBoxLookupStudent.how I can change the coding to refer to this portion of code using these parameters:
pComboBoxName
pNameOfForm
I'm assuming these need to converted is some way but I don't know how to do it.

How to Converting numbers into formatted strings in VB 2008 Like
Dim
fmtstring =
End If
"#,###,###,##0.00"fmtstring As String
NumberFormat=Format(s, fmtstring)
How to do such Formatted Formats in VB2008.
When sending numbers over my server/client, I need to first convert them into strings and pack them together into larger strings, then deconvert them at the opposite end. I need to ensure that they occupy exactly the correct number of spaces in the string - for example I need an integer to use up 4 spaces. So for example, if I had a byte, then 2 integers, I need the first character to contain the byte, characters 2,3,4,5 to contain the first integer and 6,7,8,9 to contain the second integer. Then I can retrieve each number from the string using Mid(Position,Length) and convert it back to a number.I know how to convert bytes using chr and asc, but how would I convert my integers into my string and ensure they occupy the correct number of spaces in the string (and back).All the conversion methods I've looked don't seem to fit the bill. Will I need to write my own function to achieve this?

View 39 RepliesI have a list of strings. For each string in that list, I want to prepend another string. I wrote a method to do it, but I was wondering if there was something already in .NET I could use to do this. It seems like something that could be built in, but I was not able to find anything.
Here is the method I wrote:
Private Function PrependToAllInList(ByRef inputList As List(Of String), ByRef prependString As String) As List(Of String)
Dim returnList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
For Each inputString As String In inputList
returnList.Add(String.Format("{0}{1}", prependString, inputString))

It works, but I would rather use built in functions whenever possible.
I'm migrating from VB6 to VB.NET, in hence my questions below:
I have to write a function that returns array of strings.
How can I initiate it to empty array? I need it since I have to check if it's empty array after it returns from this function.
Is list of arrays better for this purpose? If I use a list - Is it empty when it firstly defined? How can I check it it's empty?
my goal is to
1.Take an file(exe,dll,etc)
2.Convert it into hex
3.place that hex values in a stack
4.Execute the values inside the stack to its original form(i.e. take the elements out of stack and then convert it to a compile format)
Imports System.IO
Sub Main()
Dim fileName As String = "ABC.exe"

Now the first one is fine - Ext_Volume is result of the string between the strings <Volume> and </Volume>. <Volume> and </Volume> are unique so this is straight forward.
However the second one - "^FDExp:" is unique, but "^FS" is not unique. There are occurances of "^FS" before and after "^FDExp:".
How do I get the string to search AFTER the occurrence, not before etc?

View 2 RepliesI have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable
