Function to test first char of string
View 9 RepliesBest way to repeat a character in C#
I wonder if there is a function that returns x times of given char or string. Or I must code it?
Say I've got the following variables:
Public Shared x As String = "100"
Public Shared y As String = "text"
Public Shared z As String = "something"
[Code]....
But this doesn't do what I want, naturally. What I want is that my function giveVar returns the value of the variable that holds giveVar. For example I call giveVar("x") I want my function to return "100".
Of course this can be done by a Select Case but thats not what I like to do. Is it even possible to call a value based on a string?

I think this works so far, BUT I get the following error on the CallByName(Me, varName, vbGet) at the Me : "me is only valid within an instance method"
What's the best way to handle this situation: I have this generic function
Function FieldValue(Of T)(row As DataRow,fieldName As String) As T
Return If(row.IsNull(fieldName),Nothing,CType(row(fieldName),T))
End Function
In the special case where the field value is null and T is String, I want to return String.Empty instead of Nothing.
I'm wondering whether its possible to have a function's return type and input arguments as a variable.
For example this function:Private Function MyFunction(ByVal argument1 As VariableType) As VariableType

i am working on my collage project in which i have an "sensor" which detects weights.specifications : (COM1,2400,N,8)I have added two components Timer and Serialport and set the values timer duration =1000 and added a button and textbox.when user clicks on the button timer1 gets started.and in timer1 i added th code which reads the input from serial.now the problem with the code. the input which i eceive is in ASCII formats(actually some of chars are in ascii format).This is the output i m getting :- 029990so i created a string variable which stores this value.
actually i want only number from that string
ex : 029990 ===> 029990
but i m unable to retrieve that.

how to remove or replace specific characters from a string. The code sample is provided contains a VBScript function to parse a string, replacing or removing any character found in the array declared at the beginning of the function.VBScript String Clean Function - Remove/Replace Illegal CharatersThe function was originally writted to remove illegal characters found in a string for use as a document file name in SharePoint Document Library.To use the function, simply update the array at the beginnning of the function to include all of the characters which are to be removed or replaced. If replacing specific characters with something else, the you will need to set inside the finction the string which will replace each character if found.The VBScript function then returns a cleaned string.VBScript String Clean Function - Remove/Replace Illegal CharatersBlogs: SharePoint Development | Web Development & Programming | Webmaster resources & free SEO
View 1 Repliesi want to convert following number to character equivalent but without using any special character.
View 1 RepliesI am a new VB programmer and am using TextBox in VB2008. Here are the problems I experienced in TextBox -
1, After I typed number in TextBox and found I need to type another number. So I used backspace key to remove it. But at this time program quit and displayed this problem: InvalidCastException was unhandled. How to solve this issue?
2, Can anybody tell me how to set number of characters are allowed to be typed in TextBox?
3, Can anybody tell me how to implement the feature that only numbers are allowed to be typed? In case letters are typed, how to tell user to re-type?
I was hoping someone could assist with the following coding; I am trying to search a very large csv file (approx 200,000 lines) for a user defined string eg "0100020789" and I essentially want to print all the lines that contain this to a text box on screen. Please not that the csv file does not have standardised column headings, each line is different. There would be approx 5 lines that contain the input string.
I am concerned with the v large csv i am using which will prob slow everything down, but then I thought if simple text pad application can search for a string in complete files with similar sizes like that and return a result in less than 1second, then it must be do-able.
i want to read a character 1 by 1 from a string and a .txt, i know all about stream reader so for the .txt would it be somthing like:textbox1.text = tr.readCharacter.i would prefer to be able to read from a textbox or String array though.

View 2 RepliesI have a class in this class i call a function which should return some string the class connects to an ftp server and list the directory and returns the filenames of the dir.
Code:
Public Function GetFileList(ByVal host As String, ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String, ByVal currentdirectory As String) As List(Of String)
Dim oFTP As FtpWebRequest = CType(FtpWebRequest.Create(host & currentdirectory),

So this should return all filenames of that directory
like:
Data1.xml
Data2.xml
Data3.xml
Now i have a form with a listview where i want to call this function and get the files of the "olist"
Code:
Return oList
HOW CAN I DO THAT? i mean how would my sub look like on my form where i want to call that function?

I want the Function to accept List(Of String), Array & String and similarly return List(Of String), Array & String respectively. The Function simply adds a string (month) to the input collection. I just want to use it for string, array and list with needing to think of conversions.

Public Function Foo() as String() Dim bar As String = {"bar1","bar2","bar3"}
Return bar End Function
My situation is similar to the code sample above where I'm returning a string array from a function.
What I would like to do is just return the string array without having to declare a variable first and then return the variable.Something like this, although this obviously doesn't work:
Return {"bar1","bar2","bar3"}
Is it possible to do this, I can't seem to find a method that works?

What I'm asking is am I using the correct code to transmit a number as a char, the code i'm using to send a number 2 is:

SerialPort1.Write(Chr(2))

For years I never had trouble with this String. Format function until today when I got a value longer than 0 characters and the function returned all the characters in the string instead of just ten. Now sometimes I get less than ten characters so I can't use the substring with out getting an error. I can try the left function but I was hoping there was a solution with the Format function.
View 6 RepliesI am currently using a C .dll file in my vb.net project, and need to access a string that it returns (as a pointer to a char array). How can I access this?
Private Declare Function src_error Lib "libsamplerate.dll" (ByVal err As Integer) As (???) 'i've tried intptr, string, integer, none work

I have an object with a number of properties (let's say object.one, object.two, object.three). There are about 30 of these properties and they all hold a string ("Pass" or "Fail"). Right now the existing code checks whether the property has value "Pass" or "Fail" and then runs some code that prints stuff out. That is, the same snippet of code is duplicated 30 times, one for each of these properties.
The code looks something like this
If (object.one = ... )
...
End if
If (object.two = ... )
...
End if
If (object.three = ... )
...
End if
I want to use a loop to clean this mess up (each block is huge), but am not sure how to do it. I was thinking perhaps there was a way such that I might be able to construct a string like "object.one" and run some function that will tell the compiler that this is actually an object's property? That way I could create an array containing the object's name like my array = {"object.one", "object.two", "object.three"} and then do something like, in pseudocode
For each string in my array
If (some_function(string) = ...)
...
End If
Essentially, it would take those massive blocks of duplicated code and reduce it to just one block. Is there such a some_function that I am looking for? This is in VB.net.
I have a HTTP class that gets content from URL's, POST's content to URL's etc and then returns the raw HTML content.In the function inside of the class it detects if there is a HTTP error and if so I would like to return false but will this work if I have declared the function to return a String?

I am wanting to create a char array that consists of input from a form text box. I am unable to determine how to index the Char array to accept input letter by letter. if i assign the array a specified length, i am not allowed to set the strID.toCharArray to it. If i choose no index am told the value is less then the array size. I have tried many different ways, including using a counter to increment the array, but i am unable to index the array.
