So I have a program that parses a text file, and replaces keywords in it based on some criteria I've set up.I open the file, read it into a string, replace a line, then write that string back to a file.My problem is if the text file has any international characters in it, they get eaten when I rewrite the file.
View 3 RepliesWorking on a small program that saves a file path to a text file and then when run opens the text file reads the file path which will be the only line in the file. I believe I have traced my problem due to the character that would be in the text file when hitting enter to start a new line which I assume is "vbCrLf".

I'm having problems while attaching some strings to some XML nodes.To explain this better I've made a simple example... just imagine that I have this XML code:
<song>
<title>
Surfin' USA
</title>
</song>
notice that instead of simply writing "Surfin' USA" I'm expressly using ' instead of the single quote character.The XML code is valid - or at least it has been considered valid by some tools I have found and tested online.My Problem is that when I try to put that string into a XmlText object, this way:Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument()

reading special characters within my VB code. ASCII code Char(34) = " works fine but Char(60) = < and Char(62) = > are not being read.

node.FirstChild.InnerText = Chr(60) & "httpRuntime executionTimeout=" & Chr(34) & "999999" & Chr(34) & " maxRequestLength=" & Chr(34) & "2097151" & Chr(34) & "/" & Chr(62)

I'm trying to ensure that all characters which are not numeric, or alphabetic are converted to HTML code when submitted to my database.
[Code]...
This successfully converts anything to HTML, but now I need to put some condition in there so it only does it where I need it to. ie; on any character which will either screw up my database entry, or screw up formatting when returned back to the screen as HTML (this database content is for product data for a website).
So for simplicity, I guess I want to convert only charcters which are not A-Z alphabetic or 1-0 numeric.
I could use isNumeric, but not sure how to detect alphabetic characters.
I've been Googling and found something which looked like it would work, but the logic/filtering was wrong.
So I figured I'd ask here :D
I have a program written in VB.NET and I have a textbox for the RFID tag (which is in ASCII format) and then convert it to a simple text format to be saved to my database. How can I convert ASCII to plain text to save to my database?

1. Asak2$)kla1015QAXKFskfa332aSJ2(Ska@Skljcmcel3p.lq,aowpqaskla2@)Skx.:Pdm^),dfs;
what i want to is convert this string to something like this

both 1 & 2 the above strings are fictitious (i made them up to make my point clear)

I will then confirm the (2) from the client.
Currently, I am try to get the email addresses that have been saved or stored by the user of the computer. This isn't the emails that the user has sent or received, or the contacts he/she has in his address book. Just simply the email accounts that have been accessed from the computer.I know that there are some locations stored in the registry that have the email account. The email addresses that are used on the current computer. I just can't seem to find them on my computer.I am not sure if the registry is the only place to find it or if it stored on the web browser such as internet explorer or google chrome.
View 1 RepliesI am writing an application that connects to a specific com port. This com port can change depending on how many physical ports are on the PC, and if other USB devices have installed com ports before this one.
I have the communication to the com port all working great, but I need to get the com port description not just the "COM#" which is all I currently get.
I found in the registry where the description is stored but am having trouble doing what I need.
In this key:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlClass{4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
there is a varied number of sub keys. The are numbered 0000-NNNN depending on how many ports you have. Inside each of these keys, there are multiple values, although I am only interested in one or 2 of them.
My problem is, that I do not know how to get a list of the subkeys (the 0000-NNNN keys/folders) from the original key I posted. I have looked through a few registry tutorials, and I can view the default value in the listed key, but I could not find how to list the subkeys of the listed key.
Does anyone have any sample code they could share that shows how I can get a listing of subkeys, and then run through those subkeys checking for a specific value in one of the strings contained in the subkey?

View 2 RepliesI have an asp.net application that we are in the process of "globalizing", I have the currentculture and currentUICultre being set to the appropriate values and currencies are displaying as expected using the format currency ie.
FormatCurrency(_nPrice) produces $xxx.xx for en-AU and £xxx.xx for the en-GB, however we need to distinguish the currency of the value is being displayed in, other than the symbol because a lot of currencies use the dollar sign. For example we need to display US$123.12 for the States or A$123.12 for Australia. Is there an automatic way of doing this like there is for the symbol.

I just bet the answer to this question already exists, however I saw no search mechanism under the forum. Anyhow, I would like to change registry data, and this code is asking for an instance to the object.

I am looking for the best way to capture and validate US & international personal data. I have to use ASP.NET 2.0 (vb.net) and no 3rd party web services. This are all client restrictions.
The main point of this is I have to toss their data to FedEx for a shipping quote. I think FedEx has a address checker but that web service was not approved in the scope of the project and its too late to get it added.
My current solution is to just let the field be required and free form then before I save their profile check to see if FedEx will return a quote. If it fails then I will ask them to recheck their profile or contact the admin.
I want to create a VB.NET function that will take a string containing accented characters and convert it into the non-accented equivalent. My particular requirement is associated with non-English names. Some real examples are timac, Huki, Bttcher, Bj¸rnbakk, rnrohr and Synneg. I would want to convert those examples to Stimac, Hukic, Bottcher, Bjornbakk, Furnrohr and Synnevag, respectively.I am aware that a(with an umlaut accent) is often replaced by 'ue' but replacing it with u is better for my purposes. Similarly, I want to replace with o, rather than 'oe'. I am assuming that all the required conversions will need to be hard-coded in the function.Are there any slick ways to write such a function, ideally preserving the capitalisation in the original string?

I'm making an application in school where I have to display the values of domestic, international, and total sales of company "Conway Enterprises." Everything seems to be working except it is not displaying the totalCompany sales as a currency. I'm sure it's probably an easy fix but I've been searching the internet and re-reading my book for awhile with no results. Below is the code, as I said everything seems to be working fine aside from adding the two array values and then displaying them as currency.

I need to write data to a file, preferably in binary format, but I am unaccustomed with the concept. Where's the easiest place to get the basics? I could come here with a specific need, but I'm at the point right now where I am more willing to work within the confines of keeping it simple.
Here's what I know:
1. how to open a new file
2. how to specify the record length
3. how to close the file
Some specific questions:
Does the record length have to be constant throughout the file?
Can I read the nth record without reading the whole file?
I am working on a VB Console Application that takes an Autocad drawing type DWG and converts it to a PDF using a shell command that calls a third party application. In this case, acmecadconverter.exe from www.dwgtool.com. Then the PDF that is created needs a unique watermark, so I call a second application for that called pdftk.exe from www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/.
Everything works as intended, except when I try file names that contain spaces. The file system object does not tolerate spaces in the drawing file name. For instance, the following command gives me a system.io.filenotfoundexception...
