I'm creating a little program to help my students to understand colour-mixing in Hex for their Web Design course. What I've got so far, is as follows: The user is presented with 3 sliders (one each for R, G and B) and a button. The 3 sliders each go from 0 to 15 - and when the user hits the "Show me!" button, Select Case jobbies translate the 0 to 15 values as seen here:

I have made a little application for me and my friend to be able to chat with eachother, but now we have some unclear strings as you can see on the image below:
I would like to change for example the username or time date to a color or make it bold, could anyone tell me how to change ONLY that and not everything? I'd love to have such a thing as it makes the whole application way 'clearer'.
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 am working on a UDP Client/Server, and currently i have them sending back and forth strings, which i convert to bytes, and then open the bytes to read. I want to now send an Object instead of those strings, which includes multiple unsigned integers and strings.
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?
I have been looking for examples to find the string between two strings. This top one works fine;
Public Sub ReadData(ByRef keywordStart As String, ByRef keywordEnd As String, ByVal filename As String)
Using reader = New StreamReader(filename)

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?
Dim str As String
Dim str2 As Array
str = "blabla duhduh"
str2 = str.Split(" ")
Say the string is something like
bla bla bla bla (cat) bladfdskdfd dsgdsdksf (dog)
dfdshfdskdskfsdfkhsdf sdkfhdsfkdf (kathy) fdsfhdskfhdsfkd (doggy)
I want a generic.list (of string) containing

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

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

I am working on a program to generate 50 circles starting with the smallest in the center of the form. The circles do not over lap and the appear to grow outward. Each circle has to be a random color. I have the code that generates what I need but all the circles are the same color. I was thinking about either using an array to hold each circle and color as to not assign the same color to all of them but not sure about putting a graphic in an array. I also think maybe a nested loop of some sort but was unable to figure one out.
Private Sub mainForm_click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Click
Dim penColor As New Pen(Color.FromArgb(Rnd() * 255, Rnd() * 255, Rnd() * 255, Rnd() * 255), 2)

This works to do what I need to get done, I just need each circle to have a random color as it is drawn.

colordetails in tablename in sql server and model and color are field names in that table?

I am trying to create an array of colors. approach 2 doesn't work and I do not know why
Code:
'approach 1: works
Dim list As Color() = New Color() {Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0), Color.FromArgb(0, 255, 0), Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 255)}
Code:
'approach 2: fails.. why?
Dim list() As Color = New Color() {Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0), Color.FromArgb(0, 255, 0), Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 255)}
If instead I wish to create an array of strings, both approach works, that's weird.
