I want to perform equality comparison in VB.NET and cannot get it to work. Error: value of type Boolean can not be converted to System.Drawing.PointF

Is there anyway to use LIKE operator in VB.NET as case sensitive or insensitive during runtime? For example use a flag to do case sensitive or insensitive comparisons.Obviously this can be done by simple converting them into lower case and forcing application to Option Compare Binary but maybe there is a better way to do this?
View 1 RepliesI am in the process of converting some c# code to that of VB.NET...I am running into error at the following

I am tightening up my coding with the Option Strict set to ON. It has now produced alot of errors. An example of this is:
If AllocatedDGV.Rows(i).Cells("RoomNumber").Value = RoomsAvailableDGV.Rows(j).Cells("RoomName").Value Then
It gives me the following error: Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity.
I need to write an interface to get data to/from our data files.
We have a low level class that holds field values for each record read from the files.
This just holds two values, the value read from the file (DBValue) and the updated value that may need to be written back to the file (CurrentValue).
These values may be any of the standard value types (integer, date etc) or a string.
Either value (DBValue or CurrentValue) may be null if not defined.
I have written the class to manage this data which works fine while option strict is NOT on.
But we have an office policy of having option strict on all the time.
When I put option strict on, my object value comparisons fail with the error: "Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator '='. Use the 'Is' operator to test for object identity."
Question, how should I change the following code to handle option strict on ...
This is all running on Visual Studio 2010

Can we use Coalesce operator(??) and conditional ternary operator(:) in VB.NET as in C#?
result = SendMessage(buttonhandle, BM_GETSTATE, 0, 0)
buttonChecked = (result = BST_CHECKED)
Now I want to know whether the bit for BST_CHECKED is turned on or not.
How would I do that?
I can do
buttonChecked = (result % 2 = BST_CHECKED)
Is there a better way?

I'm using BinaryFormatter class to serialize an structure or a class. (after serialization, I'm going to encrypt the serialized file before saving. (And of course decrypt it before deserialization))But I heard that some other serialization classes are present in .Net Framework. Like XmlSerializer, JavaScriptSerializer, DataContractSerializer and protobuf-net.I want to know, which one is best for me?Less RAM space needed for serialize/deserialize is the most important thing for me. Also speed is important.
I am trying to compare two datatables and generate a resultant datatable of rows that do not match based on customer number. The main table "Customers" contains all customers that have been placed in our system. I am trying to generate a table of customers, "dtResults," that we have not ever generated an invoice from a table called "CurrentCust".I would like someone to look at the attached code and see how I can handle the 'InvalidCastException was unhandled', 'Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'CustomerDataTable' error. Error occurs at line 43.

I have searched a lot on the web about changing file attributes in .net , it takes me a long time to get the final code but it was really good. But after all of my search I didn't know why we use "And" when we compare file attribute like this:
If (System.IO.File.GetAttributes(FilePath_txt.Text) And System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden) = System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden Then
MsgBox("File is hidden")
Else
MsgBox("File isn't hidden")
End If
Otherwise when I want to set Multiple attributes for on file I have to use "Or" with it like this
System.IO.File.SetAttributes(FilePath_txt.Text, IO.FileAttributes.System Or IO.FileAttributes.Hidden Or IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly)I know this isn't a big problem but , I can't write a code I don't know how it is actually works.
I want somehow to temporarily store and compare two images capture from my web cam every 5 sec. (basically i`m going to use this as motion detection)I figure out how to perform pixel to pixel comparison but the problem is how can i store the images temporarily every 5 sec?Do i need an array?Can i avoid saving the images for the motion detection?Also is it better to convert the images into gray scale or black & white for the comparison or as they are

I have a computer that takes in a barcode through a Visual Basic program on one computer and I want to be able to compare that barcode as a String to data on a different computer on the same network by ethernet connection where the data is stored in an Excel 2010 file (.xlsm) in Column A in a workbook called 'Data.xlsm'. Before the data is allowed to be saved or used further in the program on the first computer, I would like for the comparison to happen.
Some more details that you all may or may not need.

View 6 RepliesWhen using the Dictionary class when the key and value types are your own custom types, is it possible to specify the property of the key type object to use with the ContainsKey method? Best described with an example:
Dim dict as New Dictionary(Of CutsomType, AnotheCustomType)
Dim obj1 as CustomType ' Custom type with 3 properties ID, LastName and FirstName
Dim obj2 as AnotherCustomType
[Code]....
I could just omit the lines with ContainsKey but I'd prefer to know how it's making the comparison and how to change it if required. I don't want to use an integer containing the ID for the key type because I want to reference the whole object later on again.
i have 2 excel sheets (file1.xls, file2.xls), both with 2 columns. the first column of both files contain keywords, (both files have the same). now i want to write code in excel that compares the 2 files and put all the cells that are different in a new file (file3.xls). i already saw an example here on the site, Excel sheet values comparison, but somehow it doesn't fit for what i need, and i don't get it to work.
View 7 Repliesi'm building an image library and one of the things i want to do is compare the most common color in a given image to a set of established colors in rgb format the way i'll probably do this is create 3 arrays for the average r,g and b of each given image, and then compare them to my established values for r,g and b that i want to match to so if my first image has the average values of 255, 125 and 5 for r,g and b..what would be the best way to do a nearest match against my pre-established colors?

View 1 RepliesI am working on a program for a customer and am working in VB2010 in VB language. I have two rather large files that contain data. File #1 is over 300,000 lines of data. File #2 is over 100,000 lines. The files are CSV text files. On a User Form, there are two values, "StartTime" and "StopTime". This is the process I am doing:
1. Read both files into ArrayLists
2. Get item #1 of ArrayList #1 (we'll call this "A")
3. Get item #1 of ArrayList #2 (we'll call this "B")

I have a form containing a checkedlistbox, I want to be able to do a simple comparison between the checked status before and after to see if there has been any change. I have a copy of the "before" version of the checkedlist box and I thought I could just compare the two CheckedItems but it always thinks they are different, I could iterate through the entire checkedlistbox but I thought there would be an easier way.
