In my application, a string generated its length can varying from 1 to 100 (not using random number algo). But I want if length is less than 7 than need to add integers 1,2,3.. untill its size reach to 7. I implements it using while loop as :
If generatedUserName.Length < 7 Then
Dim count As Int32 = 0
While generatedUserName.Length < 7
[Code].....
Is any other better way such as enbuild function Tostring() with some parameter?
I'm wondering how to evaluate an expression using the assert object. The idea is to check if a string is longer then what is minimally acceptable. For example, Assert.AreEqual(stringName.length, >5). I know this method doesn't work but the concept is what I'm trying to get across. Is there a way to test this?
I am having some problems declaring a fixed lenght string in vb.net. I am studying code for using webcam in vb.net, although the code is from vb6 but I am told it works in dot net. Everyting else seems to be working except this line[url]...
Got a dll from a supplier that I need to call. His declaration is Declaration with Microsoft Visual Basic: [code]Now, the Sting * 20 is clearly not VB.NET, and sure enough it crashes when run - "Attempt to read or write in protected memory" and that leads me to think that there is something with that string definition - or possibly the I_Ref definition which hasn't been defined as fixed length.I've tried <VBFixedString(20)> when defining O_Err, but I have a feeling that it might not be enough when the function declaration is like that (not specifically fixed length). I cannot figure out how to specify this correctly.As a small hmmmm, the above is pasted directly from the suppliers documentation, but that't will never work, as there is a "," missing after I_Range as long... Clearly not something he has pasted from a working program.
I am using VB .Net to access the eBay API and store all completed orders in a database. This database is then fed into a proprietary shipping system, which can not handle an order number larger than 20 characters. eBay returns an order number like so 230407279314-680141236013 which is too long. The order number is always 12 numbers a hyphen and 12 more numbers. What I need to do, is turn this (the result can be alpha numerical) into a shorter, unique order key to store in my database alongside the true orderId (so that this can be referenced by the shipping software instead of the actual order number). The reason for the 20 character limit is the barcode algorithm used. Is there any way to achieve this in VB .Net 2010? This number can be anything unique, so long as it does not exist already (even a good uniqueid function would work, but I would have to query the database to make sure it isn't taken)
The user will imput a number value then a - then some words after that. I just want the number value. But when I try to debug the app it breaks on this line of code with this error. Argument 'Length' must be greater or equal to zero.
In my decryption statement I am getting Argument 'Length' must be greater or equal to zero. is this statement wrong DecodedStr = Mid(DecodedStr, 1, InStr(DecodedStr, Right(DecodedStr, 4)) - 1)
I disabled an exception because it was bugging me i couldnt find an intermittent error. My program reads textmessages from a phone, however a problem sometimes arises, and I am slowly pinpointing the areas of the code that cause issues. I have found however that it is sometimes here:
'Get a string of certain length Shared Function GetString(ByRef PDUCode As String, ByVal Length As Integer) As String
[Code]....
check to see if length is zero AND thereofre try again in a moment, (because it usually works second time for some reason). I can think how to get around the exception
I'm using vb10.I'm trying to generate cryptographic numbers greater than 256.I've read the windows examples and examples submitted by users.I don't understand how to tell it to use more than one byte.have an example to show me using 2 bytes or 0-65536?Also, what if my range is say 1024-32768? how do I tell it not to go beyond those bounds?
If I dim an array to say, 5 elements, should it not fail if I go to add a 6th? I thought this used to require a redim. In .NET 2.0, I have a character array of length = 3. When I populate it from the db, one record had 4 characters in it and it successfully added all 4 characters to the array?
I don't know if I can do this here...but here goes. I want to generate a unique ID of fixed length The trouble is, the code example I found on the web is in C# (or C maybe) which I know nothing about. I tried a web-based C# to VB.net converter but the result doesn't work so its hard to understand what's going on (especially since I have not worked with bytes either this makes it more difficult).
I've a text file which has some data written. Records have Starting character as "#2" and Ending character as "#3" in ASCII respectively and the file includes series of records, but not written as Line by Line. The difficulty I'm having is, to how to transfer those data's into a database. The File comes a 7mb file and looping character by character then noting down the Record Starting Character and Record ending Character, and finally substring them is not feasible as it take more time and makes the computer slower. I would like to know is there any easy way to transfer them?
I'm parsing fixed length file with .NET 3.5 and Regex. This file is from bank. In customer name sometimes there is one characters from this set &,(),[],',"". These are characters, so far I've encountered. There can be anything else. Because of this my regex is failing. My regex is [A-Za-z0-9s-.,'""""(){}[]]{35}. Is there any wild card I can use for special chars rather than specifying individually. I also tried . but didn't work.
i am trying to import a fixed length text file into an access database (accdb). I already have the table created but it doesn't have to be that way. i am wondering if i know the field lengths, can i a use a SELECT INTO query to get the data into access. or do i need a schema file?
so i have a file that i need to read in vb.net. Each line is 32 chars long and each line consists of multiple fields. Meaning from char 1 to 9 it idicates ID then char 10 indicates an identifier,11-14 indicates a value field. I've looked at Readblock and it's not the tool for the job. Is there a way to break up each line into its respective fields other than just reading the whole line and breaking it up as a string?
I have a requirement to create multiple fixed length files so that I can use the files for testing in another application. The following code causes an error when run.
Structure MyInformation <VBFixedString(4),System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.ByValTStr,SizeConst:=4)> Public ReturnStatus As String
in Visual Studio 2008 Visual Basic, keep getting error 91 trying to use a fixed-length arrray in a windows form. am importing System,System.IO,System.Data,Microsoft.VisualBasic,System.Data.SqlClient. declared at start of class entry for form . have tried both Dim and Public, as Values(0 to 50) As String. then referenced in a procedure as Values(1) = I have read do not indicate that I need to use a Set or New function.
what do you think would be the best way to load a fixed length text file into ms access? this is how i would normally do it if it was comma delimitted:
sql.CommandText = "SELECT * INTO [tblMailList] FROM [Text;DATABASE=" & FilePath & ";HDR=NO].[" & FileName & "]" sql.ExecuteNonQuery()
Public Sub ProcessFTAlchemyFiles(ByVal PathPlusfilename As String) Dim ParserFile As String Dim Sections() As String Dim StationType As String Dim ts As StreamReader
End WhileI am trying to read from the ": " to the end of the line. I keep getting this error: Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length
If using the following in an if statement I get an error: If trg.Name.Substring(4, 6).ToUpper <> ("ABCDEF") Then I get the error: "Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length"
I assume this is because the string (trg.name) is too small for the 4, 6 substring. What would be the correct method of working around this problem? VB.net Studio 2008.
I have a simple routine to find the next object based on a name property in an un-ordered collection of objects. I go through the collection and collect all the names in a List(of String) adding any names that are > my current name, which should give a list of everything that comes after the current key. I then sort the list using the default .Sort() method on the List(of String) and take the first item in the list, which should be my next item. I do the reverse to find the previous item, add all items < my current name, sort, and take the last item in the list.
However, this method skips over some items. For example I have items named 1210, 1210-ADA, and 1210_ADA_DB. Using this method, getting the next item skips the middle item 1210-ADA and finds 1210_ADA_DB, but finding the previous item seems to work.
