I am doing an application where a person can enter a string in a text box. The application reverses it. That all works fine.
I am trying to set up an if statement where if nothing is entered in the box and Submit is clicked, a message box pops up and tells you that the box can't be empty. The message box pops up fine but when the user clicks on ok to close the box, another blank box pops up. How do I get rid of the blank message box?

okay so I have a simple code to generate card picks and store them in numbers except no two cards can be the same so my checkIf functions checks it against the current list. Also no four a values can be the same since there are only 4 cards of the same type in a standard deck. Now the problem I am having is that when I run my code I only get two message boxes when I believe I should be getting 30 - (15 a's and 15 b's).[code]

A simple database has been created in Access, which is just basically a table of text, with some images as entries. A form has been created in VB2008 Express and linked to the database. Either a combibox, text boxes or pictureboxes are linked to a column form the database. The first row entries are all displayed correctly in the relavant boxes (except for the images, which for some reason aren't displayed). If another value in the comibox is selected, the other box values don't change and there is still no images visible...

View 4 RepliesI have a web service with both SOAP and REST endpoints. I have to accept requests from a client that I do not have any control over on my REST endpoint. Currently the client gets a 400 response and the tracelog on my server shows this error:
The incoming message has an unexpected message format 'Raw'.
The expected message formats for the operation are 'Xml', 'Json'.
I've tried everything I can think of with the WebContentTypeMapper but seem to end up right where I started every time. The request from the client doesn't appear to be well formed XML or JSON so if I try to force XML or JSON types from the WebContentTypeMapper I end up with parser errors.
So I guess I need to find out if I can force this endpoint to accept the message anyway.

I'm looking forward to reading and adding more to the community here. I've created a text based rpg. Next semester we are learning Visual Basic. I'm on winter break and I would like to get a head start on my learning. I've been working on creating some forms and message boxes. What is throwing me off, is that I have a good feel for doing coding so that I get functionality the will produce effects in a console. Coding the forms is a bit confusing for me. Is this something that others have run into? Is their some good primers for VB? I don't have my text books yet.

This is the code i have:

I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.
