Ignore Dashes In Values When Importing XLS Into SQL
May 12, 2009
I have an xls file that needs to be imported into SQL Server directly from .net. I figured out how to do this, but now my problem is the data. The following data is in the xls file: Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone. The phone number can come in in various values (with dashes and without). I have no way of controlling this data because it is an export out of some third party application. My problem is that the numbers with the dashes are being ignored by the Excel import. I am using the OPENROWSET to import.

I am trying to convert a ten digit phone number without dashes to one that includes dashes.
4567891230 -->> 456-789-1230
the following code does absolutely nothing.
Code:
PTN = PTN.Insert(4, "-")
PTN = PTN.insert(8, "-")

I am trying to copy a sql database into a vb.net application however it is not maintaining the default values when I do this. Is it possible to import the default values and have them automatically assigned when creating a new row or do I have to manually assign the default values again in my code?

For example 0-619-15934-0 becomes 0619159340. I'm sorry if this is an easy question but I'm a noob when it comes to visual basic.
Here's my failed code.
Code:
Dim check, i As String
i = txtISBN.Text
If txtISBN.text = - Then
""
End If

I am using word 2010 VBA to clean up a "dot matrix" looking report. One thing I want to do is replace a row of dashes with a solid line. I think the code would look something like this:
count strings = "-------------------"
for each strin (i)
select string
delecte selection
move up
insert solid line
next (i)
Or if it can be done as a find and replace all that would be even better, but I cannot find how to replace a row of dashes (text) with a line object.

I have searched on google and asked friends, but have not figured out a way to add dashes while a user is typing either a phone number or a social security number or something of the like. I am using Visual Studio 2008, VB Windows Form. This is not for homework but I enjoy adding things to certain projects and thought this would be neat to incorporate into one of mine. I am also curious about allowing the user to enter the first three numbers for their area code and then send the focus to the next text box so that the user can type the rest of their number. I was thinking I could do something with the text box text entered event procedure where I would send the focus after three characters entered. Not 100% on the entire idea or if there is an easier way.

I trying to display in a label the appropriate number of dashes based on the number of letters in a word that the first player entered.
Basically, when you click play, the first person enters a word, then the second player guesses what it is. That person has 2x #ofletters of incorrect tries. I just need to figure out how to get the dashes to display based on # of letters and not a preset one of 5 dashes. The original program accepts only 5-letter word so that line of code is Me.lblWord.Text = "-----". I have modified it so the user can enter any # of chars. I tried making the above line with a lot of dashes so it but the leftover dashes will stay there and the game won't end. Here is what i have right now for my play button:
Private Sub btnPlay_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPlay.Click

I have an xml document. The description tag is enclosed in a cdata section. When I view the page in firefox I get the following error: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed It's erroring at this character (an empty white square and I don't know what the character really is). Is there a way I can get the parser to ignore these characters?

So I want to now if that possible for .NET languages to ignore error without using try catch construction ?
I can ignore warring with #nowarring 40 for example, can I ignore error ?
simply wanted to call system pause with this way
open System.Runtime.InteropServices
[<DllImport(@"msvcrt.dll")>]
extern void system(string str)
system "pause"
but got Error message
unbalanced stack. This is probably because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Make sure that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.
So I don't care, it works. But can I just ignore this error ? without doing weird stuff like that :
try (system "pause") catch |_->()
Ok , I solved my problem by adding CallingConvention=CallingConvention.Cdecl, but what the question was about skipping exceptions, so and I still don't know if I can do it.
So maybe I need to tell some real reason to not be down-voted hard - sometimes it's matters for program to live even with hard errors occupations, but even sometimes you don't need to catch them. You need just ignore them...

I use TortoiseSVN for versioning of my large VB Project in Visual Studio 2008. Once in a while, when editing one of the many typed DataSets, VS feels like switching the position of the attributes
msprop:Generator_ColumnVarNameInTableand msprop:Generator_ColumnPropNameInRow
In like nine THOUSAND places of the .xsd file. Sometimes I use a custom sed-script to reverse it again but most of the time I just commit it without knowing if there was any real change.
Can I prevent Visual Studio from messing with those attributes?
Can I enforce a specific ordering?
Or do I need some workflow within TSVN to ignore or revert such changes?
I wrote a small VB.Net Console app that scans thru the lines, sorting the attributes. It works on text alone as one cannot use xml parsing abilities without a massive increase in execution time and code size.

Does anybody know how to ignore a line(s) of code after a line(s) has executed. Let say you have a button1, and two CheckBoxes. By clicking once button1, cheheckbox1 checked. By clicking agin button1, then CheckBox2 checked. You will probably say that I can do that in diferent way, but it isn't the solution of this problem that I want. This is only an example.

I have set up my form using with the languages and I have store the texts in the resource. I have debug the project and everything seen to be fine. I found that there is a folder in the project bin folder. The folder was called zh-chs. I have changed the name from roject1.resources.dll to testdll.dll and moved to the bin folder. I have added reference in my project and I have deleted the zh-chs folder. Suddenly, I have found a warning sage.

ll app build in VB 2005 that has a DLL. The app runs fine on 32bit systems but fails on 64-bit ones (Failed to load the assembly: BadImageFormat from the DLL). As I could not fix the problem I wish to somehow ignore this error so the rest of the app can run normally. I wish to retain the funcionality on 32-bit systems thus not removing the DLL from the project.

In C# you can use to ignore the special characters:
string myString = "this is a " string";
that would work as one complete string... in VB, doing that does not work...Anyone know the equivalent of to ignore special characters for VB

On the server side of my application I have a function like this:
public function GetDS as MyTypedDS
Dim dsRetVal as new MyTypedDS
'Make fantastic things with the dataset
return dsRetVal
end function
On the client side I call this function through a generated "service reference":
Dim ds as Reference1.MyTypedDS = myRefInst.GetDS
How can I disable schema serializaion of the typed dataset to reduce the traffic?Is it enough to set the SchemaSerializationMode of 'dsRetVal' to ExcludeSchema before returning it? Or is this option ignored by WCF?
