Using VB.NET i want find a specific string that occurs in column B of an Excelsheet and copy that entire row and paste it in a new worksheet. This string occurs a couple of times in this B column.I know how to open up an excel sheet in VB but I'm having difficulties searching for the string and then copying that entire row and do it multiple times (loop until the end of the column)

I wonder if it is possible to find a specific row and specific columns in data base file (Access) . You see , I am using a DataGridView control to show only SOME of the columns (fields) of a table from an Access file . For example , lets say that in the DataGridView control I only show the following fields :Field1 , Field2 and Field3 .Now , when the user selects an entry in the DataGridView control , I want to insert the text from Field4 into a text box on the form .
The problem , however , is that I don't know how to get the specific row in the data base file and also I don't know how to get the text in column (field) Field4 of that row .One thing that might be important is that the index of the row in the data base file is not necessarily the same with the index of the current row in the DataGridView control . This is because in the DataGridView control the rows are order by the contents in the ID Field .ol .
I'm a beginner developer using VB 2008 Express Edition and SQL Server 2008 Express. I have tried my simple problem using many different ways and also have searched the web, LINQ to SQL, SQL commands, MSDN library, MSDN Forums, 'How do I' help document, and ... but come up empty. In my simple Table.mdf (see below), I have created some tables (T1, T2, T3, ...) which none is joined together. What I try to do upon request is to get a value string of specific row and column of table?

I am using a list<of T> as a data source for a datagridview and would like to handle the draw event of the datagridview to evaluate the string length of the column cell. If larger than a particular number then I would just do something like
cell.value = string.substring(0,(whatever number I need it to be)).
I use an OLEDB connection to read from an excel database, and this loop to read in all of the data from each of the columns
While reader.Read()
For i As Integer = 0 To reader.FieldCount - 1
temp = reader(i).ToString + ControlChars.Tab
output_file.Write(temp)

Some of the columns contain date information, which are read in fine (usually as a string "2/20/2011" or so), but the headers of those columns are read in as a blank "". The headers for all the other columns read in fine, but not for the date containing columns.

I have a program and I get time data from a sqldb and display it in a column in a listbox. What are the proper steps for adding the time as I iterate through the data in the column? I figure I will need to do some conversions on the time to be able to add it and display it as a total.
View 9 RepliesI have an assignment due tomorrow, and I thought I had it all figured out but there is one question I don't know how to program. The assignment consists of a form with textboxes in which the user types info about a book (author, title, genre, etc.), which he can save to a textfile by clicking the save button. (At the moment it's not saving it to a textfile but just a 'file', which can be opened with notepad but is of no specific datatype, not sure how I do that, but is less important). There is also a button with which the user can display information from a different, earlier created textfile.[code]
View 1 RepliesI've tried to use the DMAX Function in my VB windows application to find the highest value in a column in one of my tables, however it doesn't seem to work. After doing some research, I think that the function is only relevant to VBA, although I could be wrong.
'show me the maximum HCCID - DMAX
'Dim HCCNUM As Int32
'HCCNUM = DMAX("[HCCID]", "tblHCC")
How to find the maximum value in a column in one of the tables in my database?
We have a DataGridView with 3 columns: InvoicedOn, PaidOn and Amount
On the MouseDown event is this line of code which needs to be fixed:

We also get this error message:
Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid.
how to fix the MsgBox so it will show the value?

In WPF, I have a Uniform Grid and would like to be able to find the row and column based on the index of a child element.
I know there is a mathematical way of doing this and would rather not use a normal Grid.
If it helps, I can get the total number of rows and columns by using:
Math.Sqrt([*uniformgrid*].Children.Count)
I'm using vb.net to check that certain Excel or Word documents exist in a folder.
EG
strFileFound = Dir("C:TestFolderMyExcelFile.xls")
strFileFound = Dir("C:TestFolderMyWordDoc.doc")
If the documents are created using Excel 97 or Word 97 the files are found. If the the documents are created using Excel 2007 or Word 2007 the files are not found.
I have checked the permissions between the two different versions and they appear to be the same.
why Dir dosen't work with Excel 2007 and Word 2007 files?

I have an Excel template that contains numerous pre-defined charts and a program that opens this template and collects data used to populate the charts. This works great but I now want to adjust the series length so that the charts only used the data collected (not a range of 32000). I'm trying to iterate through the charts and determine the range for each series of each chart but not having much luck. The snippet below allows me to see the xvalues but does not return any information as to where this data is located. Does anyone know how to extract the range for each series in a chart?

View 3 RepliesMy problem seems simple but I can't find an answer for it.I need to be able to pull a phone number (string) from an entire string. example: "My phone number is (xxx) xxx-xxxx, call me as soon as possible."
Its obvious to me that the phone number should be able to change depending on who you are talking too. So the question becomes, how do i search for the phone number's format within the above string?
I will have a directory of files (IFO, BUP, and VOB; DVD files for anyone who cares), I need to find the first one by sorting these like this: Filter out everything that does not have a .VOB in it, then find the one like this VTS_**_1.VOB. It will always have a "1" before the extension, but the two numbers before that change, lastly I need that file returned as a variable.

I think VB has a way of doing this, but for the life of me I can't find it. I want to search through a string for anything contained between two certain characters, e.g between 2 | characters. I'm not sure if I want to split the string at this point, but I only want anything contained between the two | markers. So for example if the string reads |ABC|DEF I only want to retrieve the ABC, but not the DEF as it's not completed yet.
