I have created a script in powershell that has done this, but amo moving to a VB app and am having troubles.The snippet that I am adding shows what I did in powershell. I created variables using the XML and from a SQL database compared them, and updated the XML to reflect changes pulled from the database. I want to cycle through creating the variables as more may be added in time and want to make sure I don't have to keep adding code to pull out the data manually one node at a time.rudimentary code as I am new to both powershell and VB. Currently using VS2008.
code/xml below.
$xml = New-Object XML
$xml.load("g: estingackup_local_config.xml")[code].....
I am building a form that will eventually list a group of functions on the left. If you drag a function onto the form, it will create a listbox and a label at the loction you dropped it to. If you drag a function into a listbox, it will add that function as a listbox item. I have this working kind of. The problem is that once I create a new listbox, I am no longer able to add items to the previous ones. Here is my code:
Public Class Form1 Private MouseIsDown As Boolean = False 'rivate Functionlist As ListBox
Before any jumps in and says, Why dont you just use a gridview, i have my reasons not to use it.I trying to dynamically create a table and then populate the cells via a linq object.
Good news, i can dynamically create the table and the cells. Dim numrows As Integer = MyActions.Count() Dim numcells As Integer = 5
I am trying to populate a dictionary with objects created from data in a recordset, but am having difficulty with VB's object referencing. I am very new to VB. Pseudo code of what I am trying to do:
dim dict as Dictionary rs = getRecordSet while rs.moveNext set myObj = new MyClass myObj.properties = rs.relevantFields dict.add myObj.getUniqueKey, myObj wend
However, all 'objects' in the dictionary are actually references to the most recently created (and thus last) object in the dictionary. I know why what I am doing above is not working, but I don't know the correct way to do it so that each element in the dictionary is it's own object.
I was working on window appication previously where i used to create global variables using modules in vb.net, but i found that in C# there is no concept of modules. so how can i create global vaiables in C#
I would I have a program that I use in the computer in my network, but for every user I need to edit the source to this user, thus the user cannot edit his information, just use the program how it was ... So, looking over the internet I found a "program" that may contains my solution... Its a Keylloger, I'm not meaning use this keylogger, no, but it has a a very interest feature: I use the main form to edit the information then after all it create a new program with the new information inside... I use my main program to create every userprofile then my program create a new program with the profile inside...
how do I DIM a variable's name using previously declared string varialbes? I have been using PERL for processing data stored in text files but I now have a business need to use VB2008. I would like to do something like this:
dim name1 as string = "ABCD" dim name2 as string = "123"
'here is the part that I don't know how to do - create a 3rd variable name concatenated from name1 and name2:
dim string.concat({name1,name2}), or maybe use a counter in a line like 'dim namex as string' with x being a counter value.
Essentially I want to dim variables using text strings extracted from a file. In PERL I have declared literals and arrays, such as 'my @$name1', which creates an array named with the contents of $name1. In VB2008 I am not sure how to make this work with the DIM statement.
I have some variables that are distinct by numbers, like in1, in2...If I have for loop, how would I access those variables, using the counter, and attaching it to the variable?I believe in JAVA, you could just use in+ct... where ct is the counter to access the variable.also how could you make a new variable in the for loop?Initially I had variables declare outside of the for loop. The problem was how to access those variables using the for loop.
var_nm1 = in1.Text var_nm2 = in2.Text var_nm3 = in3.Text Dim nmList(2) As Integer
[code]....
This is object oriented programming, and I made the textboxes in1, in2, and in3 using the GUI editor. that was so easy.
When I want to maintain code readability and keep things neat. I would create temp variables . Below is one of my functions that uses it. Is it a bad practice? I would create temp variables cost more memory ?
Private sub test(byref transac as transaction , byref txntime as string ) Dim cmd as OracleCommand = nothing Dim Adapter As OracleDataAdapter = nothing Dim SQLStr As New StringBuilder [Code] .....
I have a form with a few text boxes, one of which has it's contents stored to a integer variable.
The value stored will end up being one of a few numbers ranging from 12 to 98, and I need to the same number of new variables as the number in the textbox.
Can I automate the creation of new variables based on the value stored, or do I need to define the max number required and just ignore the rest when using less?
How do one create System Level environmental variables manually. I just installed a GeoSupport Desktop Edition software and in the document it is mentioned that I need to create system-level environmental variables for PATH and GEOFILES manually
Add the location of the GDE executables to the system-level environmental variable PATH.Normally this means adding C:Program FilesGeosupport Desktop Editionin to the PATH.
I'm making a IM LAN Chat, and I don't want to limit it to a specific number of chats that can be open at any given time (By re-producing the forms and setting variables once a chat is open).
I'm creating a calculator in visual basic 2008, and with this calculator I want to implement a feature that can store numerical values in a variable for instance x. Similar to the feature used in most graphing calculator that have the button showing: "STO->". I was thinking on using the My.Settings. But I'm having trouble on it.
Last year (2010) I came across a FANTASTIC command that allowed me to take a string of variables with a common delimiter and break it all back out into separate variables (possibly an array) with one statement.
[Code]...
As long as the delimiter was a unique specifiable character, this one-statement command could break it out into elements. my memory and point me in the right direction.
I have code, shown below, that works all except for 1 thing: The variables being passed byRef get passed, but once modified in the else section of the "if me.invokerequired" code of RecordData, the variables are never updated in the calling function. To reiterate, the calling function does not receive the updated data that is in the variables custid and amt.When debugging, I see the data change in the else section of "if me.invokerequired", but once it returns from the callback the data is missing.[code]
I define some global variables of a class as follows:
Private Class MyClass Private var1 as Decimal Private list1 as List(Of string)[code].....
But I found that after this form is closed, all above variables, var1, list1, list2 still exist in memory. I thought they should be collected by gc since the form is already disposed as I confirmed.
Add: I have monitored half an hour after the form is closed. But these variables are not collected by gc. I have an automatic update procedure on the form which uses above variables.Since the above variables still hold values, the automatic update procedure is always called which causes exception. (One quick fix is to check if form.isDisposed in update procedure. But I do not think this is elegeant. Besides, these variables occupy memory.)
Does the memory used in declaring variables are reclaimed by the OS when these variables go out of scope?Does the memory used be released by setting thier value to nothing? if not, then how can I force the garbage collector to run or excecute at a certain/desired time..How about in Windows Forms..How can we make sure that the memory used in initializing and showing forms be released if those forms were closed?
Question 1: What is the difference between "Background Worker" and "Worker Pool" as indicated within the MSDN samples provided.
Question 2: I noticed while using, AddressOf _Function_, variables cannot be passed; what would be an efficient solution to this?
Question 3: While using multithreading is it required to invoke before setting variables, or only form properties?
Question 4: While using System.Net.Sockets is it safe/efficient to use Application.DoEvents while waiting for new data; or would be using a Do While loop be fine without DoEvents since the action would be multithreaded? Note: there can be up to 2000-3000 sockets in use at a time.
I'm new in .NET programming.I have a class Form1 that includes Button1_Click event.Button1_Click creates a multiple Text Boxies at run time)Here is the class:
Public Class Form1 Dim shiftDown As Integer Dim counter As Integer
I have a form which the datagridview will be built manually by reading in certain data from a text file (this is because the data in the text file will change periodically)The code is correctly adding the proper amount of rows but it is NOT putting the required values in the cells. Any thoughts?
I am working on a weboage that will display questions and answers (maybe 5 at one time, maybe 7 at another time) returned from a database table. The questions will each be displayed in a div and the related answers displayed in another div. The question will have an icon "Show Answer / Hide Answer"
How can I go about creating a div and then populating it with values from a table?
The general problem is that I can't get the foreign key in one of my child tables to populate the primary key from the parent table. I have a parent table named "ISSUES" and a child table named "ISSDESC". The primary key for ISSUES is ISS_ID which is an autonumber. The foreign key is ISS_ID in the ISSDESC table which is just a number. I'm using MS Access and an OLEDBConnection as the method. I've created the relationship in MS Access and also created the datarelation in the VB.NET code.
in short not populating, below is the code i'm running with but it isn't loading. Newer to Datagridview so I know I'm missing something. The SQL import I've successfully done with a listbox and borrowed some of the code from that.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub gettournies() Dim sqlconn As New SqlConnection
I have a DataGridView which reads data from a custom (CSLA) list object. The dataset might have 100,000 records, and obviously I don't want to show them all at once because, for one, it would take ages to load.I think it would be nice if I could read the first (for instance) 20 records, and make it so upon scrolling to the end of the list, it reads the next 20 and adds them to the DataGridView.
I have experimented with various ways of doing this, mostly using a custom class inheriting from DataGridView to capture scroll events and raising an event which adds new records. I will include the code below:
Public Class TestDGV Inherits DataGridView Public Sub New()
[code]....
Though this (sort of) works, it can be buggy. The biggest problem was that if you used the mouse to scroll the DataGrid, it would get stuck in a loop as it process the scrollbar's ValueChanged event after the data was added. That's why I added ScrollbarOff and ScrollbarOn - I call them before and after getting new records, which disables the scrollbar temporarily.
The problem with that is that after the scrollbar is re-enabled, it doesn't keep track of the current mouse state, so if you hold down the 'Down' button with the mouse (or click on part of the scrollbar) it stops scrolling after it has added the new records, and you have to click it again.
i have a datagridviewcomboboxcolumn that i am trying to populate. i set up the DataSource property using the wizard, there after i selected the DisplayMember from a corresponding drop down of fields from the table set up in the DataSource and then lastly i selected a field to be the ValueMember. problem is when i run my program datagridviewcomboboxcolumn is not populated.there is no drop down at all. what should i do to see my drop down or perhaps i need to set up in code.
I have a combobox which populates information from a textfile, however I was wondering if it would be possible to only populate the fourth field? each field in the text file is separated by tab (space).
For example the text file has the following information
orange yellow blue brown green pink purple green yellow black red purple pink black neon green blue purple gold silver
The combobox I want to display brown yellow black gold I have the following coding in place however it shows all fields in the combobox.
I have a small requirement and that is as follows: I am calling a stored procedure and based on the results from the stored procedure, i want to display the data into textboxes. I am using DataSet and DataAdapter for the same. Can anyone help me. My code is as follows:
Dim sqlStripCmd As New SqlCommand("prcAdt_mwo_strip_det_sel", connection.conn) sqlStripCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure sqlStripCmd.Parameters.Add("@strip_no", SqlDbType.Char, 3).Value = txtMwoStpNo.Text
[code]....
I am getting the data and am able to display it into a datagrid, but how do i put it into textboxes.
