.net - Copying Text Box Content To Decimal In Sql SQL Via Asp.net?

Feb 23, 2012

I am trying to take the amount entered in a text box and save that to a sql database in decimal format. The field in the table is set as decimal 7,2

The amount a user inputs is save to the table. However it rounds the decimal amount. eg. 10.55 saved as 11.00 & 10.45 saved as 10.00 I'm using visual studio 2010 and vb.net

myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("customer_contribution", Convert.ToDecimal(CType(Me.FormView1.FindControl("CustomerContributionTextbox"), TextBox).Text))

I've also tried it without the Decimal conversion and end up with the same results.

myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("customer_contribution", customer_contribution)

Utf 8 - Text Communication Between Applications With TCP Sockets?

Oct 9, 2011

I've got a problem to make two applications to send text-data between themselves.
The message is transmited without any problems, the awnser is received too. But, there is a lot of a "New line" char in the end of the string send/received on each side. I guess it's because of i'm readeing the full buffer; i've tried to remove all Chr(10) and Chr(13); I also tried to trim the string, but it didn't worked.

Here the code I use :

Client Side :
Dim cl As New TcpClient
cl.Connect("127.0.0.1", 2000)
Dim str As NetworkStream = cl.GetStream

[Code]....

UTF8 works on 4 bytes, and when I read the stream and I put it into a buffer, if there is no char, the 4 bytes stay on a 0 value.

Read Text From An External Applications Textbox?

Sep 27, 2011

I am trying to extend some features of a external programm that is not able to use plugins or something. So I have to write my own app that reads the text from a textbox from this external application and trigger some own actions.

By using the FindWindow API in user32.dll I allready catched up the handle for the external application. But now I am kind of stuck. By using Spy++ from the Visual Studio Tools I got the information that the class name from the control I would like to read from is "WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.218f99c", but there are several of them. Additionally every time the external app starts it creates a new control id for the textbox I want to read.

Batch Copying Of Files?

May 17, 2012

I am busy writing a application that i can set up a list of files to copy from one location to a remote network drive.

THe program has a list of "jobs" in a datagrid that it loops through and executes in sequence. What i have now is a background worker that reports the status of which job it is on (File 1 of 5) but i would like something that shows the status of the current copying file as sometimes large files can look like it's stopped on the network

I am using the System.io.file.copy structure, but have also tried the my.computer.filesystem.copyfile (which shows the status in a "windows" copy box)

So, what i would like is some guidance on how to create a function that will copy the file but also report back progress periodicly. I don't want to read and write byte for byte as im worried this will be too slow.

Also, is there a better way/function to use to copy files? Looking for best speed

I have a DataGridView which lists the paths of a group of files, pptx, xlxs, etc. From a context menu they can copy the name of the file onto the clipboard, or delete the file or rename the file, but I would like to be able to actually attach the file itself to the clipboard so it could be pasted as an attachment to an email or something like that. How do I get the file itself onto the clipboard when I only have the path to it?

Copying A Resource File?

Sep 13, 2010

I have added two images as a resource in my project. I'd need to copy these images to a certain folder when the program is started. I'm not familiar about using resources, so far I have managed to set a picturebox to show one of these images like this:

Dim res() As String = GetType(Form1).Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames()
pBoxTest.Image = New System.Drawing.Bitmap( _
GetType(Form1).Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(res(0)))

But I don't know how to get the url of that image so that I could copy it from it's url to another place.If I now try to find out the location of that picturebox's image I get an empty string: MsgBox(pBoxTest.ImageLocation)This should work in any computer where the program is run so of course I can not just hardcode the path of this resource.

Copying An Excel Cell Value?

Nov 30, 2010

I am using Visual studio 2008.I have an application that reformats an excel spreadsheet. One of the operations is to copy the contents of the cells from the source to the target sheet. One of the columns has numbers. In excel, if the column is not wide enough, it will display the numbers as "###". For instance, if i have a number 99 and the column is not wide enough, it displays "#" in that cell. The problem is that when I copy this cell to my target sheet, I get "#" and not 99.
