I recently found myself in a thread deling with convertions from decimal number to fractions... Being a bit too brusk and dismissing the idea at first.I have now implemented a structure based on code frm Javelia whithc can be seen in this thread.Solitare also proveided code that I eventually understood and was working.[URL]...it a step longer and developed a structure that can also implement calculating with fractions... My first try is also posted in the tread above...
The implimentation is far from perfect, as it does not deal with POW of fractions.. So if anybody has some ideas on hoe to do this with squer root and all pleas let me know and Ill update the code..
As a part time CAD drafter I commonly have to do scale conversions from many different scales.I am writing a scale converter that will allow me to enter the source scale (eg. 1/4" = 1'). Then it will provide an area to enter another number, like 3/4", and then produce that number in inches. In the case of 3/4" it would equal 36" or 3 feet. For now it would be fine if only gave me the answer in inches.How would I handle all the necessary fractions? Would I have to set up a bit of code that would convert the fractions to decimal?
Public Class Form1 Dim intResNum, intResDenom As Integer Private Sub btnMult_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnMult.Click
In an upcoming project I need to keep track of some fractional data values. Due to industry standards around the products which this data describes, it is important to display the fractional value as a fraction and not as a decimal; yet for purposes of sorting and filtering the data values, the decimal value of the fraction should be known.
The obvious solution since the problem describes data is to store the value as both a string-fraction and as a decimal-value. This works fine, but it does leave a disconnect between the two values, when in fact, they represent the same data.Assuming that this project will also include a strongly typed object model, which will likely drive a EF4 Code-First database, I think that the best solution involves creating a custom fraction type which can encapsulate the string and decimal values.
After thinking on the problem and some experimentation, I've come up with the following structure to meet this need, however, I'm not certain that it is the all-around "best" implemenation.Obviously "best" is a subjective term, but in general the type should be well-rounded for as many uses as possible... idealy as generic as the Decimal type it enhances. Can anyone spot any flaws or drawbacks with this implementation? I'm still not sure about the numerator and denominator fields... whether they should be readonly or priviate or what...
I get some funny display errors when I attempt to pop a fraction into a text label.[code]Do I get 33.3% here? No, but I get 33.333333333333 - etc - depending on how big my label field is Plus I also get an error message trying to add the % sign at the end.how to round off and display fractions and percentages in a Label.Text field?
I have a DataSet with a DataTable that has several numeric columns of Data. The numeric data is composed of distances given in U.S. Standard units. I currently have my ComboBoxes set up and working, but I need to expand on what I currently have in two ways.I need to be able to convert the Decimal numbers in my data column being displayed to Fractions, is there a way to do this and maintain databinding? In this case its the Display Member of the data source...I need to be able to display my drop down options in different sets of units... I've written Unit Conversion classes to help take care of this, but I don't know if I can somehow do this as well and maintain databinding? I'd like to convert the units on the display members as well...
Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectionChangeCommitted Select Case ComboBox1.SelectedItem

What is the best approach for using ComboBoxes when dealing with issues such as displaying fractions and units...
So I am making a file crypter so that I can encrypt my VB.NET Application that I am making so that people can't decompile it. I had made this in C# and am transfering it to VB.NET, Everything worked fine in C# but once I had re-written the code in VB.NET i get this error inside of my RC4 Encryption method:
'Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.'
The error is occuring here:
Dim t As Int64 = (s(i) + s(j)) Mod 256
This is the same code above in c#:
int t = (s[i] + s[j]) % 256;
Is there anyway to make that calculation with it erroring? And why does it work in C# but not VB.NET?
I have a function called Modify. It is delcared like so:Public Function Modify(Of SIMType As {New, DAOBase})(ByVal obj As DAOBase) As Boolean
You can see that this function is generic. It takes as a paramer a object that is a DAOBase or subclasses of DAOBase.Inside the modify function there is a call like so:
DAOToGP(obj)This is where the polymorphism comes into play. There are four or so subclasses I have created of DAOBase. I have written a DAOToGP() for each of these types. So in the Modify() function, when it calls the DAOToGP(obj), polymorphism should kick in and it should call the correct implementation of DAOToGP() depending on the type that I pass into Modify().
However, I get the following error:Error 20 Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'DAOToGP' can be called without a narrowing conversion:'Public Shared Function DAOToGP(distributor As Distributors) As Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.Vendor': Argument matching parameter 'distributor' narrows from 'SierraLib.DAOBase' to 'IMS.Distributors'.'Public Shared Function DAOToGP(product As Products) As Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.SalesItem': Argument matching parameter 'product' narrows from 'SierraLib.DAOBase' to 'IMS.Products'.

I am kind of at a loss here. I am not sure why it cant figure out which function to call.
my code works fine in JavaScript but doesn't work correctly in Firefox or safari and wondering why. What I'm doing is I have a loop going through each element and depending on the variable inside a text box just want to alert something. Like i said earlier this code works fine in IE. Here is the code below:
Here is an example of text box:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtMac" runat="server" req="yes" errMessage="Mac"/> for (a = 0; a < theForm.elements.length; a++) { if (theForm.elements[a].type == "text" && theForm.elements[a].req == "yes") { alert("Made it here") } }
I've been messing around with prime numbers for a while now, but I now want to use massive numbers, say a few million digits in length. Is there a way of storing and performing mathematical functions with such large numbers? Is it even possible on my home computer? I read on another old thread, something about a big number library, but the links he gave are now dead.
I have a website and say a user comes along and fills out the form with bogus data. Then after he fills it out, he enters another one and another one and another one of bogus data. He's basically just trying to clog up the data base.
How is the best way to combat this? Would it make sense to when they submit the data track the IP address?
I sure this has been asked more then once... New to vb.net and I have been experimenting with a datetimepicker and how it looks at and deals with time. What I am trying to do is to add up my time (not worried about the date at all). I have it figured out and can get it to work so long as I do not go over 24 hours... and that is where my issue comes into play.
How do I display my total time in hours once it has gotten over 24 hours ( I do not want days.. just hours) for instance, a 40 hour work week, not 1 day and 16 hours.
A partner of ours is making a call to a web service that includes a parameter called token. Token is the result of an MD5 hash of two numbers, and helps us authenticate that the user using our partners system. Our partner asks the user for two strings, concatenates them, runs them through MD5, and then calls our web service. The result of the MD5 is the token, and it is submitted to us as a string.
We store valid tokens in a DB - since we use the SQL Server to compute the tokens on our end, SQL seemed to be happiest storing the tokens as a varbinary, which is its native result for an MD5 computation.
We have two pieces of code that attempt to do the same thing - run a select query that pulls out a value based on the token submitted. One uses a dynamic query (which is a problem), but it works. The other one attempts to do the same thing in a parameterized (safer) fashion, it does not work - it is unable to locate the token.
Here's the two competing attempts. First, the parameterized version which fails:
byteArrayToken = System.Text.UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes(stringToken) scSelectThing.CommandText = "select thing from tokenstable where token=@token" Dim param As SqlParameter = scSelectThing.Parameters.Add("@token",
Some tables I am dealing with have null values and are throwing errors. So far ive tried a few solutions to deal with the nulls with no success.Here are the code samples from my efforts so far;
If (r("datemodified").Equals(DBNull.Value)) Then datemodified = String.Empty Else[code]....
i have ran the query and it is working ok (i.e all the cols exist)
Dim myreader As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader 'read information from the database and give the values to the arguments(column_1, and column_2) While myreader.Read column_1 = myreader.GetString(1) column_2 = myreader.GetString(2) ..... I get an error when the data returned from myreader.GetString(2) is NULL. How do I check for nulls before assigning column_2 a value?
I'm trying to test a varbinary(max) field to see if it's null. I'm trying to figure out if it's a null or not in the select statement, hoping to avoid having to do this locally for every row of the returned dataset. This is the SQL I'm using,
Is there any way to convert null terminated string to normal string.I mean I can easily make a program to find the location of vbnull but there has to be a built in function for that.

I'm trying to write some documentation, but I don't know VB syntax. Often I use Reflector to translate it, but I'm not sure it's working in this case. I'm also not clear on where I would need line continuation characters. In VB9, it's not possible to have multi-line lambdas (or Sub lambdas, which I did not ask about). In VB9, all lambdas return a value, and must be a single expression. This changes in VB10. VB10 will allow the above syntax, but VB9 will not. In VB9, if the logic involves multiple code lines, it must not be a lambda; you must put it into a named Function and reference it explicitly.
Like this:
Private Delegate Function StreamOpenerDelegate(ByVal name As String) As Stream
Private Sub WorkMethod(ByVal d As StreamOpenerDelegate) '' End Sub
I am using a stored procedure to fill a dataset with a large amount of data (47k rows and 8 columns). I am needing to fill two tables with the results of this stored proc.One table will have data representing 47k reps that currently have credit for a transaction. The other table will be a mirror copy of the 1st table with 47k reps that were supposed to get credit for a transaction. This application is going to take credit from one rep. and give the credit to the other rep record in the 2 mirrored datasets. It's taking 30 seconds for the data adapter fill method to return records to my application. I would like to reduce the amount of time it takes for this request to process.
1. I having a project dealing with MsAccess database.
2. Currently the project connect the db using table adapter/data adapter method.
3. When I called a Me.SubjectCourseTableAdapter.Fill(Me.ProgrammingDataSet.Subject_Course) at frmCourse, it return me error message "System. NullReferenceException was unhandled Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object.""
4. This line of code is just the same at frmA. Wonder why it will cause error at frmB.Besides, which is the better way to connect access? data adapter or ado.net?
I want a method of dealing with very, very, very big numbers (potentially a million digits). It is very cumbersome to deal with very big numbers in VB, would another language perhaps be better for that?
I have a main form which contains a few buttons...some of those buttons open up smaller forms...there is also a button for each of those smaller forms, which should let me bring the chosen form to the front and give it focus...basically like the tabs in your task bar let you switch between which program you are using...but I'm having trouble with this...I need to click the button 2 times before the form I want comes to the front...the first click removes focus from the currently activated form the second click then moves the form I want to the front.I need this to happen in one click..I[code] figured out the exact cause of the problem.it's due to the fact that the first click doesn't actually take effect since the child form has focus...so the first click actually just transfers focus to the main form...the second click does what it should.I knew it was going to be extremely obvious.so the question now becomes...how can I overcome this if that is possible at all...I know I've seen applications where I can still activate functions of the parent form in one click even if I have a child form open and focused.And it's basically what I need...it does what I want and lets me switch between child forms in one click...but it stuffs up the entire look of my parent form...the layout and colors get wacky...the transparency of certain things don't seem to work and my background image is gone..
Public Sub Control1Updated() Handles control1.TextChanged control2.Text = SomeFunction(control1.Text) End Sub
[code]....
Basically the pairs of {control1.Text, control2.Text} and {control2.Text, control1.Text} should be the same. If control1.Text is changed to let's say "a" then control2.Text is ALWAYS "b". If control2.Text is changed to "b" then control1.Text is ALWAYS "a". How do I achieve this with events without going into an infinite loop? [the best I can think of is to make a check if the other control.Text is already the desired value].
Does anyone else wrestle with getting VB.NET Linq code formatted the way they want it in Visual Studio? What are some tricks you have for how do you deal with it? I know that Visual Studio lets you uncheck the option for "Pretty listing (reformatting) of code", but most of the time it's a really handy setting to keep on. And with a team of developers who could have other settings, that's not really a viable solution. So my questions are:How have you dealt with formatting multiline Linq statements in VB without fighting with Visual Studio's code formatting?Is there a particular style guide for Linq in VB.NET that is recommended? Something that is readable, and that Visual Studio likes without the reformatting nightmares? My original question may not have had the clarity I desired. Here's a more concrete example. [code]
Everything is all nicely formatted and lined up, but any changes to the query result in Visual Studio borking the formatting and only an immediate CTRL-Z will stop it. Which is fine if there's a standard way that VS would like to see multiline Linq formatted, but if not, then the constant reformatting VS tries makes no sense. I'm trying to see if I missed some standard or how others in the community deal with this effectively. (BTW - using tabs instead of spaces for indents.

I addressed a meeting and used the following....she worked there for 17 years.I was corrected later that it should have been 16 years.I argued that the first year of this persons employment was 1966 and her last years work was 1982. Therefore 17 years.Does someone have an articulate mathmatic reasoning that explains dealing with inclusive numbers.
