It's just before while I found that expression (see my signature) is possible, so this request is not about what 'I am missing', but what I can think of. It would be nice to have named sections of code in visualbasic, which would replaced almost everything you can miss about GoTo. Imagine this:
Section Compression
For Each item ...
If Not item IsV...
[code]....
how to use them then before, but am still a little confused with a few aspects. Here goes:
1.) Lets say you have a method that checks for a certain condition(s) and if it fails Throws an exception. Does it have to be in a try/catch block? Meaning can the "Throw" statement exist in a block with no try/catch statement?
2.) Now lets say we have a method that has a try catch block and in it there is a throw statement. When the throw statement is executed does it first try to find an appropriate catch block in the same method or does it immediately go back to the calling method without looking at the catch statements in the current method where the exception was thrown?
3.) I created a custom exception class that inherits from ApplicationException. Next I created a method which has a catch block that catches this type of exception and does some action. Is the System(i.e CLR) smart enough to throw an exception of this type, or does it only throw exceptions from SystemException?
4.) I know that some people are more liberal in their use of exceptions and others use it more sparingly when truly strange stuff happen like the DB going down. I am writing code where I am getting some info back from the database, converting it and then storing it. Sometimes there might be data that comes back from the database and other times the field is empty and the Null value comes back. Therefore in the instances where Null comes back from the database I should not convert the value to anything, since I will get an error. What should I do in this situation? Should I let the CLR throw the exception when it goes to convert the Null value or should I check for the Null value and if it exists not convert?
5.) In general when I throw exceptions, is it sensible to only throw exceptions of the type Application Exception or are there instances where the programmer throws exceptions of the type SystemException?
Studying Ruby and the Do block. Coming from much c# I didn't see much that reminded me of Do, but then VB came to mind with the With statement and one which I wish was in c# (maybe it is and I never saw it?). The two statements, Do and With, appear similar.Is the With statement in VB the same as a Do block in Ruby? [code]I understand what I will get just from looking at it. I know that I will get a new record in my database with the above information, but I do not know why. Why did book become TheBook.new?

My case is if the user comes from certain page, i need to have an if condition and should open up a popup as well as redirect page to next page. if the Request.UrlReferrer is null then i dont need the popup, just goto next page. can somebody put a sample code snippet here?this is what i have so far -

i am not sure what to put with the Get and End Get.
I want to get a 48 byte block of assembly code from the memory, save that code in a global array or whatever, then I wanna NOP everything from 0xF to 0x16, and write that into the memory, and then later I wanna use the global block to set it back, how can this be achieved in VB.NET?

I have a script file which uses code similar to the C# language, using { and } braces to start and close 'blocks' of code. Note that blocks can be nested.[code]...
Is it possible to use regular expressions to parse the code and return the name of each block separately? So in the above example, it should return block1, block2 and block3 but NOT "block 2 contains" or "and another" (no nested blocks).

View 16 RepliesI'm trying to replace text using this method:
Add each characted to a String list (List(Of String)), execute the replace function for every type of character (for example: Text = Text.Replace("A", "0AA") Text = Text.Replace("a", "1AB")), but there's a problem: it replaces the text, but it replaces those replaced characters too, so when I replace "A", it will result something like this: "0AAB AAA 0AB"... (a long text)), and then add the characters to the result string
how make the application stop and start the replacing of the next character

I'm writing something that will examine a function and rewrite that function in another language so basically if inside my function F1, i have this line of code var x=a.b(1) how do i break up the function body into symbols or "tokens"?I've searched around and thought that stuff in System.Reflection.MethodInfo.GetMethodBody would do the trick however that class doesn't seem to be able to have the capabilities to do what i want..dit 2:basically what I'm trying to do is to write a program in c#/vb and when i hit F5 a serializer function will (use reflection and) take the entire program (all the classes in that program) and serialize it into a single javascript file. of course javascript doesn't have the .net library so basically the C#/VB program will limit its use of classes to the .js library (which is a library written in c#/vb emulating the framework of javascript objects)
View 4 RepliesThis seems really simple, but for some reason Im stumped.Im dynamically generating an HTML Select Box, lets call it myselect. Im creating this select box based on some database values Im generating an HTML Select Box.. almost like a string that Im just spitting out to the page. So it's never a control in the codebehind, just part of a string thats rendered as HTML by the browser. If I submit my form, and in my codebehind I perform:
Dim myVal as String = Request.Form("myselect")
That code will give me the VALUE of the myselect select box. How can I refer to this control to cast it as a System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlSelect control? Request.Form seems to give me the value, but I want to reference the object itself..

For instance:
A object of class Bicycle is used by thread 1 and has a synclock on it.

I have a form that I have been getting submissions that have punctuation and special characters that trigger the potentially dangerous Request.Form value error. I have been trying use the httpUtility.htmlencode and Server.htmlencode method to sanitize textboxes and textareas.All my tests do not fire because the built-in request validation of the 4.0 framework prevents the code-behind from executing to perform the sanitization. I have included the ValidateRequest in the page header but no matter what I set it too it still does the same thing.
This is the code I have so far.
Session("RequestID") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtRequestID.Value)
Session("FirstName") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtInstFirstName.Text)
Session("LastName") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtInstLastName.Text)
