I have a ton of questions that I cant seem to figure out in regards to VB Script.
1. How do you convert text in a text box to Upper Case?
2. How do you write the code to display messages in a Label box?
3. How do you check for numeric values?
4. How do you check for an empty string and find the length?
5. How do you extract a substring?
I have a series of text fields on a simple form (inside a group box) I would like to enforce all the text be upper case upon submission to the database. I know I can use the Ucase command. The question is implementation. How can I very efficiently force all the field values to upper case vs. say doing Ucase(TextBox1), Ucase(TextBox2).... ( I have 12 fields in this case) Is there a way to treat the text boxes as a collection and do it in one shot? Just trying to be very efficient and create clean, tight code even on such a simple thing.

Anyone know of a nice efficient function that could convert, for example:
HelloWorld --> Hello World
helloWorld --> Hello World
Hello_World --> Hello World
hello_World --> Hello World
It would be nice to be able to handle all these situations.
Preferably in in VB.Net, or C#.

<Visual Studio 2005. VB.NET.>How do let user write only upper case in the text box?
View 7 RepliesHere is what ive got:
a1 = inputbox("YES or NO")
If a1 = "YES" Or a1 = "yes" Then
That's all we need to know. There are a variety of choices people could put in the input box:
YES
YEs
YeS
yES
yes
Yes
yEs
yeS
I don't want to do if a1 = "YES" or a1 = "YEs" or ... etc
Is there some way I can do:
if a1 = allcase."YES" then
Or something along the lines of that?
I'm currently using this bit of code to let only Y, N, and Backspace be typed in my textbox: [code] My problem is that when I debug, the "n" has to be capitalized in order for it to show up in my textbox and the "y" has to be lower cased. Is there anyway that I can bypass this to where it doesn't matter wether or not it is upper or lower case?

View 2 RepliesI have a code to search for specified text in all listbox items. Here it is:
ListBox2.Items.Clear()

If item.ToString.Contains(TextBoxDropDown1.Text) Then
[code]....
This works fine. But if I have search for this:
"My Search"
I wont find this:
My sEarCh"
Is there any way to search for text of any casing, and if so how can I adapt my code to do this.
Public Function TitleCase(ByVal strIn As String)
Dim result As String = ""
Dim culture As New CultureInfo("en", False)
Dim tInfo As TextInfo = culture.TextInfo()
result = tInfo.ToTitleCase(strIn)
Return result
End Function
If I input "TEST" into the function above. The output is "TEST". Ideally it would output "Test". I also tried the code snippets from this post to no avail: Use of ToTitleCase.
Both of the below return the computers name in upper case even when the actual name is in lower case:
MsgBox("Computer name: " & My.Computer.Name)
MsgBox(Environment.MachineName)
Is this true for every windows version? I only use MsgBox when testing.
For example, I want to match <Tag or <TAG and replace to <tag
Here's what I did(which obviously did not work): tmp = Regex.Replace(tmp, "<(.*)", LCase("$1"))
Just wondering what are some good ways to do this?

View 8 RepliesAlright, so I've got my program and it works, but I have to pump out updates every once in a while. If I can get it so the code will let me have my text file with any number of lines for my array, then I can simply send out a text file and update done.So here's what my code does:
Define a record of arrays, two items, a unicode string (Japanese/Korean text) and then an English translation for the text.I read in the file, it's one item per line, unicode string and then the translation.I have it preset with a defined upper bound for my array, but if I just took out the define and leave the upper bound as limitless, then it would work if I just updated the text file. Problem is, I don't know how to do it with stream.reader (I think that's what it is) because I learned a different way in school. I want to do something like Do While Not EOF with this, and loop it reading lines from the file.
Would it work if I change the array to no upper bound and then simply use Do While Not EOF with stream reader?
I'm trying to create a small program, which I think will be helpful to others(in here). My aim is to convert the English text shown in screen to Malayalam. English-to-Malayalam conversion is not a problem. But the problem is, how to extract the text from the screen. In most of the converter/translator, the text needs to be copied or written down in the translator tool. But my program will cut off that part. That is, simply move the program window (having a rectangle hollow portion) to the English word that needs to be converted. And upon pressing a button (or autodetect), the English word is converted to Malayalam.
So, my question is how to extract the English text(or words) from the screen (which is seen through the hollow portion of the window.

I am building a vb.net application with VS2010. The aim of the application is to change sln. files from VS2005/2008 versions into VS2010.I am using a Form with 2 text boxes and 2 buttons. When I click the 1st button it reveals the sln file in the text box. Then i have a 'convert' button that I want to use to 'convert' the file that appears in the first text box. I have come quite far with the source code but am just a bit puzzled as to how i can retrieve the VS2005 sln files and to get the 'convert' button to display the text in the 2nd text box.[code]

What happens here is when I click on anyone of the radio buttons the text box score sets the value to either 0,1,2,3,4 but when I go the next case it goes back to 0 instead of keeping the value. I tried many different techniques while going about this none seem to work.
