What is the difference (in bref) between (.NET)
myString == otherString
and
myString.CopareTo(otherString) == 0
If Object.Value IsNot "Something" Then Can you do this, or are there certain cases in which it wouldn't work? Wasn't sure if this should only be used for integers and booleans.
View 3 Repliescurrently I am using something like the following:[code]It seems to work fine, but I've seen posts on different blogs and stuff that say string.compare is better for some reason.Is this ok to use or should I be using string.compare()?
View 3 RepliesIn our code base there is a function which should return either an object or nothing. The exact code is this : Return NothingThe calling method looks something like thismyObj = theClass.function()if myObj <> nothing then // fails
View 1 Repliesafter slicing and dicing, i got 2 vars with the following values in vb.net:
strTag = "<#<span class=SpellE>vermittler_person_Name</span>>"
tmp = "<#<span class=SpellE>vermittler_person_Name</span>>"
Comparing the vars gives a false:
strTag = tmp ' ==> false
Comparing the values directly right there gives a true:
"<#<span class=SpellE>vermittler_person_Name</span>>" = "<#<span class=SpellE>vermittler_person_Name</span>>" ' ==> true
Both are strings, i tried all kinds of stuff: string.compare, string.equals, also regex etc. etc. everything works perfect with all the other strings with simlilar structure, just not and only not with "vermittler_person_Name" in the middle...
it's a log in form and I need to put case-sensitive validation in other words if your Username = Admin then Admin != admin Consider this code block (VB is really unfamiliar for me so break it to me gently ^^) This is after it has matched a record in the database to the parameter passed to the function LogIn()
If dataTable.Rows.Count > 0 Then
'case-sensitive Validation follows

the asterisk-ed line returns an error (obviously) as strId is not of data type String.I also tried using LIKE but again since strId and strPass are not Strings, all I get is an error.
I have 4 string lists as follows
Dim input_list As New List(Of String) Dim input_POS As New List(Of String) Dim trigger_list As New List(Of String) Dim trigger_POS As New List(Of String)
I want to compare the contents of the input list (containing words (e.g., want, the) etc. to the ones of the trigger list (containign again words) and if a same entry (i.e. word) get the POS for both input word and trigger word from the relevant lists and put them into a property list. For example
input list (want, the, right)trigger list(want, there, wait)input list POS (verb, article, adjective)trigger list POS (verb, pronoun, verb)
Output property list (want:verb, want:verb) (only want is common between input and trigger list). Then I need to conduct a test between the two property items for similarites. If they are exactly the same, the code should output a confirmation "i.e., Yes" into a textbox. If not the code should output a "No" plus the contents of the property list into a textbox.
I need to highlight changes(diff) between 2 database text fields in a asp.net application. I'm used to "beyond compare" text compare, so the Ideal solution will do something like it, but if it just highlight the differences, that would be OK. [URL] The content is HTML, so if it could compare the HTML rendered text, it would be even better. So, i need a link or a control (free if possible) to do that job.
View 1 RepliesI have searched a lot on the web about changing file attributes in .net , it takes me a long time to get the final code but it was really good. But after all of my search I didn't know why we use "And" when we compare file attribute like this:
If (System.IO.File.GetAttributes(FilePath_txt.Text) And System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden) = System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden Then
MsgBox("File is hidden")
Else
MsgBox("File isn't hidden")
End If
Otherwise when I want to set Multiple attributes for on file I have to use "Or" with it like this
System.IO.File.SetAttributes(FilePath_txt.Text, IO.FileAttributes.System Or IO.FileAttributes.Hidden Or IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly)I know this isn't a big problem but , I can't write a code I don't know how it is actually works.
I have a computer that takes in a barcode through a Visual Basic program on one computer and I want to be able to compare that barcode as a String to data on a different computer on the same network by ethernet connection where the data is stored in an Excel 2010 file (.xlsm) in Column A in a workbook called 'Data.xlsm'. Before the data is allowed to be saved or used further in the program on the first computer, I would like for the comparison to happen.
Some more details that you all may or may not need.
Computer 1 (where barcode is scanned): Windows 7, Office 2010
Computer 2 (where data file is stored): Windows XP, Office 2007
i have 2 excel sheets (file1.xls, file2.xls), both with 2 columns. the first column of both files contain keywords, (both files have the same). now i want to write code in excel that compares the 2 files and put all the cells that are different in a new file (file3.xls). i already saw an example here on the site, Excel sheet values comparison, but somehow it doesn't fit for what i need, and i don't get it to work.

I have a label that reads a random line from a text file and that string becomes the text for the label.
Now the problem; the label will only work if it is clicked because the event handler is click.What I need is this to work automatically at startup. In other words, it should change the label's text to the random string of the text file on startup of the application.
Here is my code.[code..]
