Some words in the text needs to be highlighted depending on a text analyze that was previously executed.Now I need to create a web version of this application.I know there's a couple of Rich Text Editors available but I would like to know if there's a library or a simple way to generate an properly tagged HTML string from a plain text and a list of word to highlight?
View 2 RepliesBackground Image Will Not Switch Back From The Plain Background Color Of "control"?
Feb 19, 2011what I am trying to accomplish worked with the code in the last thread I posted a while back. I still am using this code, however, I changed the window size to work better and gave it a nicer background for the title screen of my project. Now what I am working on at the moment is making a settings form that has 2 labels. One for "Default" Layout and one for "Plain" layout. When default is at start, the default label is disabled,and when plain layout is clicked, the button is disabled and default button is enabled.Basically, this is a toggle switch for default or plain where if one is enabled, the option for it is disabled and the other is enabled.My problem is that when I switch from Plain back to default, the background Image will not switch back from the plain background color of "control"Here is my code:
Public Class Settings
Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles LinkLabel1.LinkClicked

View 3 RepliesStripping HTML Function Within Text Areas Content
Mar 10, 2010I'm writing a small program that loads a folders contained file names into a list box, you then double click one of the file names listed and it appears within the programs text area where the user may freely edit it. I then have given the users options to export the data contained within the text box to a word template. What I'd like to do is add a button which the user can click in order to strip away all the html within the text areas content. I found a solution but for some reason I can't make it work. There are no errors displaying nor does the program crash out, it simply isn't doing what it should be doing.
The function I'm using is below:
Function stripHTML(ByVal strHTML)
'Strips the HTML tags from strHTML using split and join
'Ensure that strHTML contains something
If len(strHTML) = 0 Then
stripHTML = strHTML
[Code] .....
I've used the below snippet in an attempt to put the function to work in the text box.
Private Sub btnHTMLstrip_click()
' calls function stripHTML, applies to text box
richTxtBox.Text = stripHTML(richTxtBox.Text)
End Sub
So, its not working as it should?

Asp.net - Multilingual Website, Change The Asp CommandArgument Directive To Html To Switch Languages?
Jan 29, 2012I have a multilingual company website (Visual Studio / VB / ASP.NET 4.0), and when, on the homepage, you click a flag, the text changes to that language and stays with you the entire session, after I made a class, BasePage.vb. Everything works great, but the URL never changes .... clients.aspx remains clients.aspx although the text DOES switch to Dutch.
It's been recommended by @Aritstos to make it so it looks like clients.aspx?lang=nl as opposed to just clients.aspx in another language.
Currently, my asp homepage hyperlinks that work look like this:
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton7" runat="server"

.net - Process Plain Text File
Apr 12, 2012I'm trying to use VB.NET to process a very large plain text file (2 GB). It is a database and has a field delimiter of SOH and a record delimiter of STX.
I want to separate the fields and records of the file.
I would normally read each line of a text file and then use the split function to separate out the fields. I can't use this approach as there isn't always a delimiter on every line.
Is there any way to read a file until STX is found (rather than one line at a time)?
Converting The Xml Format Into Plain Text
Jun 14, 2011I have a program, that allows writers to save there quotes. The quotes are saved in a xml file. Everything works as it should but when I load a saved quote it still comes up in xml format. I need to load a saved quote in a plain text format and I also want to be able to give the output file print functionality. I was thinking of making the output file a html file which opens up in a web browser, this of course already has print functionality, is this at all possible.

Send Plain Text Via Sockets In .NET
Sep 9, 2011I'm writing a replacement for an old library we use at the office to communicate with a rather clumsy and old custom-made C++ framework that takes requests via sockets in order to communicate with a bunch of other systems. The problem is that it will only take plain text messages containing a string which must be formatted in a very specific way.The problem I'm facing is that I haven't found so far a way of sending plain text through the socket. The Send method of the socket will only take byte arrays, and while the listening point receives the data, it gets there completely scrambled, and there's no way I can mess with that in order to convert the byte array back to plain text. I need to be able to send plain text, not byte arrays.[code]
View 1 RepliesPlain Text Emails Arrive Blank
Feb 7, 2012I am using Visual Studio 2008 Pro to create a web application in Visual Basic. This app takes the information filled in by a user and then sends it to various people. Some of these people get the email in HTML, the rest in plain text. However, whenever I use the code below to send the plain text email, when the email arrives in my Outlook 2010 Inbox it is completely blank. If I leave the code alone and change only .IsBodyHTML from False to True, it works (it sends the email formatted for HTML).[code]Also, if I create an entirely new web app, using only this code, it sends the email correctly as plain text.

View 1 RepliesMimicking Does A Simple Calculation Where It Takes Key And Plain Text Characters
Jan 31, 2011I am trying to mimic an encryption application. The application I am mimicking does a simple calculation where it takes the key and the plain text characters 7 bit ascii code and xor's them together. If the two spots in the code are = then it returns a 0 if it is ~ then it returns a 1. I have tried several code snippets for xor and none of them produce the results I want. I have only taken a couple programming classes so I get lost easy. This is what I have so far. My goal is to decrypt something encrypted by the program I am replicating using a password generator to come up with the key.I already have the binary for the encrypted text from the program I am copying. So I need to convert the key into the matching binary format. I used this snippet for that. [code] When I run this as is I get a much longer result than I should. If I use an "a" as my key and "00000000" as my cipher bi the result is "0011000000110000001100000011000000110000001100000011000000110000" when it should be "01100001".

Is there any Windows API Routine to read something like that?Or could you point me an URL where something is implemented?I don't want a procedure to read the file line by line and comparing them with Line Input because blank spaces, empty lines and comments starting with " // " may appear too, and I don't want to take them into account, but also I need to save changes to the file, but only to the modified section, without having to read the whole file, and re-write it completely.
Binary access can't work, because I don't know what's the size of each "section", since the number of elements into it can change.
I need something like the "ReadINI" Windows API Procedure, but allowing me to read the "[XXX]" sections headers, and also the "<XXX>" file title header.
