Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?
View 2 RepliesI have some VB .NET software that interfaces to a load of old (but sound) COM objects. The VB provides a GUI for the COM objects, part of which consists of setting various options on the COM objects - several of which relate to string formatting.I have a simple pair of VB .NET functions that convert basic %f, %d, %g formats to/from .NET equivalents using a large select case covering specific common strings, but they don't cover all formats.[code]Before I start diving in and making it more versatile with some parsing, does anyone know of a class (eg VB or C# .NET) that provides a decent ready-made implementation? Or perhaps some regexp wizadry could be used?

View 39 RepliesI have a list of strings. For each string in that list, I want to prepend another string. I wrote a method to do it, but I was wondering if there was something already in .NET I could use to do this. It seems like something that could be built in, but I was not able to find anything.
Here is the method I wrote:
Private Function PrependToAllInList(ByRef inputList As List(Of String), ByRef prependString As String) As List(Of String)
Dim returnList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
For Each inputString As String In inputList
returnList.Add(String.Format("{0}{1}", prependString, inputString))

It works, but I would rather use built in functions whenever possible.
I'm migrating from VB6 to VB.NET, in hence my questions below:
I have to write a function that returns array of strings.
How can I initiate it to empty array? I need it since I have to check if it's empty array after it returns from this function.
Is list of arrays better for this purpose? If I use a list - Is it empty when it firstly defined? How can I check it it's empty?
While I understand there are properties of MailItem that would allow one to programmatically create a formatted email, I would prefer the ability to copy the body of an email that is already formatted to my liking (bolding, italicizing, embedded pictures/tables, set margins, etc.) copy and paste it to a newly composed email such that this formatting is preserved.

Now the first one is fine - Ext_Volume is result of the string between the strings <Volume> and </Volume>. <Volume> and </Volume> are unique so this is straight forward.
However the second one - "^FDExp:" is unique, but "^FS" is not unique. There are occurances of "^FS" before and after "^FDExp:".
How do I get the string to search AFTER the occurrence, not before etc?

Is there an easy way to find a certain string within a string and then return the strings that you find as an array?I have written this:

Dim StringStartposition As Integer
Dim StringEndPosition As Integer
Dim Currentposition As Integer = 1

View 2 RepliesI have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable

Here's the weird problem I am trying to solve but cannot get my mind around it. In a text box 1, the user enters 2 or more strings separated by comma. then in text box 2, the user enter 1 or more strings separated by comma. The output then puts the strings from text box 2 between the strings in text box 1
Example:
TextBox1 = visual basic, java, perl
TextBox2 = is better, compared to

View 5 RepliesI am still very new to VB. I am having trouble working out how to remove lines within a rich text box, based on the next new entry into the rich text box.
For example:
rtbClient (the rich text box) already has the lines:
long cat is long
he really is
long cat is long
Now, if the next NEW entry into the rich text box is "long cat is long", then the new "long cat is long" string would be ignored because the line previous (and only the previous line and not all lines that already exist) is exactly the same. Note, I know of the Me.rtbclient.Lines = Me.rtbclient.Lines.Distinct.ToArray code, iv tried playing around with it with no luck.
Okay I have an unbound DataGridView control which users enter as many records as is required. However I have some validation running which checks all cells to ensure data has been entered, however as you know, as soon as data is entered into a row, another appears, well I need to remove this row.
I can't use
vb
DataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(DataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1)
As the row has not been committed, therefore it can't be deleted
Also I need the 'enable adding' on, as without it rows will not appears.
I can't get a zero into a text-box, what I'd like to achieve is this: if the textbox is zero, then I want it to remain as a blank, until I enter value to that field.Actually When I activate the field via some other control, then I Never wants to display "0" zero in Textbox Fields, before operation done. By default which comes from the multiplication operation (txtUnitsPrice.Text = d1 * d2) into the textbox field. I have three Text box fields, i.e. Unit_Price, Unit_on_Order, Units_Price.
Unit_Price=0 or some time it have default value, i.e. 25, which display ok, but not the below field.
Unit_on_Order=0
Units_Price=0
