I am making a simple application that will be able to store competition data into a text file that I have given a custom extension to on saving. Here is an example of the format that i have saved the data in.
[Comp_Name]Test Competition[Comp_Name]

[Type]Teams[Type][code].....
When i open the file, i want to redisplay the data in separate text boxes. Later on in the project i want to be able to search within the file for headings for example;
if "[Heat1]" is present then get all text between [Heat1] and [Heat1]
i am currently able to use the streamreader and open file dialog to retrieve the entire string of text fromthe however i am not sure how to go about getting the text between the headings I have used.
I am working on a relatively simple program in VB.NET. I am trying to make the installation process as simple as possible for the user.I know its possible to use the executable from the debug directory as a stand alone executable, but are there any drawbacks to this approach? For example, if the user does not have .NET on their machine, the program will not run. Is there a way to publish the program so it is self-contained in a single executable file?
View 4 RepliesI have some Visual Basic methods that are acting as the click handlers for a custom Word Ribbon. Unfortunately, I already have the implementation of what the handlers have to do written in C# which is loaded into the Word document as an XML Expansion Pack.
I don't see any way to add a reference to the C# .dlls to Word's Visual Basic Editor.

Suppose that one has a panel an inside it there are many buttons with Dock=Top. The button would tend to be stacked on top of the panel. How can I get a reference for each button from top to bottom? The button would be created in a random order, so I don't think that using the index of each button in the Controls collection of the Panel would suffix.

I have created a usercontrol that contains two rectangle shapes to create a unique button effect and a rounded-corner rectangle shape serving as a border to provide a look similar to a group box. It also contains two labels, one for use with a Text property of the control and the other to indicate the status of expansion of the control. The control is designed to collapse itself when the "button" is clicked leaving only the "button" visible. Clicking it again toggles this affect. I've dubbed it an ExpansionBar. It is also designed to be a container control so that I can add controls to it and allow these to disappear when the bottom portion collapses. This seems to work great! The problem is that the controls contained in this usercontrol cannot be accessed during runtime. In other words, I can add a checkbox to it and it will disappear correctly when the control collapses, but I can't select the checkbox to check it... same thing with any other controls, you can see, but can't touch.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to delete all the worksheets contained in a workbook using the code below but I get this error:

dim l as List(of MyClass) = new List(of MyClass) and I want to get the type of the objects contained in the list, how do I do that? The obvious answer, that doesn't seem to be possible from my actual implementation, would be to do something like this...
public function GetType(byval AList as IList(of GenericType)) as System.Type
dim lResult as system.type = nothing
if AList.Count > 0 then lResult = AList(0).GetType
return lResult
end function
But what if the list is empty and I still want to know the type it contains?

How do I easily navigate textboxes contained within a form.My form has a lot of textboxes so I don't particularly want to make a KeyDown event for each.I think I need to group the controls and handle it that way somehow with their TabIndex.I'm lost without the control array of VB6 and can't find anything to show me how to do it.

In my program, the user can select a icon for a shortcut generator. I googled "Extract icons from exe", and could only find nonworking answers to extract a single icon from an exe. I want a user to be able to select a program path and have a imagelistbox, flowlayoutpanel, or listview fill up with previews of all the icons. I want it to be similar to when you try to manual change a shortcut icon (you know that box with the exe path and the list of icons?). Is there any possible way to do this?
View 6 RepliesI have a Generic Dictionary contained or nested as a child in another Generic Dictionary. I need to be able to access the child dictionary objects by key. When I attempt to do this I get the following error:
"Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair(Of String, String)' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of String, String)'."
So it seems that the contained Generic Dictionary is being returned as a Generic KeyValuePair when accessed via a key as opposed to iterating through the parent dictionary in a For/Each loop.
The first section of the sample works OK (using a key to access a string value in a dictionary).
The second section of the code works OK (iterating through the dictionary values in a For/Each).
The third section of the sample is where the error occurs (using a key to access a nested generic dictionary...see underlined code).

For Each thisKey As String In td1.Keys

I am trying to check if a users input contains any special characters from a list, does anyone know who I would go about doing this?
I've tried the LIKE operator:
Dim sMatch As Boolean = tTitle.Text Like "[-/,.:;*?""""<>|&'[]^%£$()_+=!#]"

Is there a RegEx i could use for this??

How should I go about dynamically creating checkboxes contained in a groupbox?
View 3 RepliesI'm fairly new to VB.NET and I'm currently playing around with user controls, figuring out good programming practices. As far as I understand, to create and use a UserControl, I need to create a project with the UserControl in it, then build the project and use that DLL (add it to Toolbox or otherwise).My question is this: Is there a way a have a project (a Form with a bunch of things on it) that contains a UserControl written in a *.vb file inside that same Project? If you do that, the DLL (in my case) never gets produced, possibly because the UserControl is never used and building it is simply omitted. Is it perhaps a bad practice to do that altogether? It simply makes sense to me to keep a UserControl as a part of the Project that uniquely uses it. Is there a reason not to do that?
