Allow Nulls When I Programmatically Bind A Textbox?
Jul 28, 2011I was thinking I should just change the value to "" when a null value has been read from the datasoure. But then I thought maybe there is a property that allows this. is there?
txtComments.DataBindings.Add("Text", rowEquipItem, "Comment")

Search A String Buffer With Nulls (chr(0))?
Sep 25, 2009I need to search a buffer for a string of characters.The buffer is essentially a binary file (it's an image) and contains lots of chr(0) characters.The string I need to locate also contains chr(0) characters. In fact it is the following string:
chr(100) & chr(0) & chr(0) & chr(163)
This is a marker in the image file for items I need to process.So I though I would do the following:
Dim sFileBuffer as String = system.io.file.readalltext("myimagefile")
Dim sLookFor as String = chr(100) & chr(0) & chr(0) & chr(163)
Dim iLocation as Integer = sFileBuffer.IndexOf(sLookFor)
The problem is that, although the characters in sLookFor definitely exist inside of sFileBuffer - IndexOf will always return -1 (not found).I tried the following:
Dim Marker() as Byte = {100, 0, 0 , 163}
Dim sLookFor as String = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Marker)
Dim sFileBuffer as String = system.io.file.readalltext("myimagefile", Encoding.UTF8)
Dim iLocation as Integer = sFileBuffer.IndexOf(sLookFor)
But this appears to only find occurrences of Chr(100) & Chr(0) - not the full 4 character sequence I desire. It appears to see the second Chr(0) as a termination of the search string.I think the sticking point here is the null. Yes - I can string.replace(chr(0), Chr(255)) in both the sLookFor and the sFileBuffer and adjust my search accordingly - but that seems like a mess to me.Is there not a way to search a buffer of binary data? I've tried working with byte arrays - but there appears to be no way to easily search for a sequence of byte values - just individual elements in the array.

MySQL Parameters / AddWithValue - How To Avoid To Check For Nulls
Sep 15, 2010Let's say I have a MySql stored procedure that inserts a record with some nullable CHAR fields. In VB.NET if I don't check for Nothing (or Null in other languages), I get an exception from the db driver, so I write:
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("_name", if(name Is Nothing, "", name)).Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
And this is the first thing I don't like; I'd like to pass Nothing and the driver knows it has to put NULL in the Db. But then, in the stored procedure, I have to check back the field if it is empty:
INSERT INTO mytable
(name, -- other 200 char fields)
VALUES
(NULLIF(_name, ''),
-- other 200 char fields
)
I have to check for nothingness/emptiness twice. Is there a better, more direct, way? Even worse, for non reference types (i.e: Integers) the check for nothingness makes no sense, since a primitive type can't be nothing (yes, I could set an Integer to a non meaningful value, say -1 for a positive id, but...).

Joystick Handle - Use Only The Handle Of The Component?
Mar 23, 2009I wrote an application to handle a joystick with directinput. It works fine if it uses the handle of the main window but it doesnt happen the same if the handle is the one of the component that contains the joystick's operation.
I mean:
main form handle: 15
component handle (which is inside the window and the joystick needs the focus of this component to work): 25
It always work if the handle i initilizate the device is the main form (15).How can i use only the handle of the component?
DataGridView - Convert Nulls To Empty Strings And Display It In The Grid As Empty Strings
May 14, 2009I 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

Asp.net - Getting .NET To Handle CSS Files?
Jul 25, 2011Possible Duplicate: Can .NET intercept and change css files?
I have configured IIS6 to get .NET to handle css files.I did the following steps
Launch IIS Manager Right-click on Default Web Site Click on the Home Directory tab Under Application Settings click on Configuration.Add a new association for .css and map it to .NET executable:
C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_isapi.dll
How can I check if this is working, i.e. I want to change the default style of a page depending on the url, i.e. if the referer url is http://intranet, it should continue to use the old existing style style1.css, if the referer url is http://intranetv2, it should use the new style style2.css.

View 3 RepliesGet A Handle On The Correct Way?
Jul 2, 2009I am trying to get a handle on the correct way and easiest way to do things. By easiest I am not talking about being lazy just accessing and modifying later on. I have started using my own classes and such but I have a few questions. Sometimes I want to create a control on the fly through code instead of using the designer. Should I create this control in the main form file or in a separate class? If I make it in another class it seems harder to access later on. Then again if I dont know that the control is going to be created(user clicks a button to add a control) how can I access it? Also it seems alot harder to access certain things when it is in another class. For example if I create a new window in a class and then want to check if it is there or not it is alot harder to do.

Getting Handle Using Win32 Api?
Jan 24, 2012I am trying to create a small utility that tracks desktop usage in detail, to the level of individual text boxes etc.... in other applications. However, it is proving quite tricky. I thought I had it nailed using the Windows api. The below code is just a snipet of the code but essentially it provides me the handle of the control that the mouse is over. I thought from here, it would be easy to to the same thing but to provide the handle of the control that the cursor was actually clicked on, for example, if someone is filling in a text box in an application, they would not necessarily move the mouse to get to the text box, they may tab to it. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the handle of the control that is in use?

View 2 RepliesHandle Results Of More Than 1 Row
May 6, 2009I am having a SP run in my VB application every 10 seconds to check for any new rows that have been inserted to the database since the last check. What is the best way to do this? Most likely it will be 0 or 1 rows, but I am afraid at random times it maybe more than 1 and so I thought I would fill it in a DataSet, but I came in here to see if there are any other better ways. If dataset is the best way, how do I do a For Each Row in the dataset to process some VB code for each row?
