How can I insert a hyphen after each 3 characters in a textbox? For example, if in the text box there are: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP. how can I insert a hyphen between each 3 letters automatically? The result would then be ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNO-P. I have come to a way but it's not a practical one, i.e I used Insert(,"-") but then lines are filled with conditions slowing down the application. [Code]
View 5 RepliesBasically, for each character in a charArray created from the string to split, if the character is a letter, digit, or hyphen, I append it to a temporary string. When I see a split character or the last character, and the temporary string has value, I add it to the collection to return.
For i As Integer = 0 To (charArrayLength - 1)
charToInspect = CChar(charArray.GetValue(i))
If IsLetterOrDigit(charToInspect) Or charToInspect = hyphen Then

VB.Net (2008) doesn't seem to allow inserting formating characters (eg.) in String.Format:
'BAD MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}{tab}{1}", "Foo", "Bar"))
'BAD MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0} {1}", "Foo", "Bar"))
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}" & vbTab & "{1}", "Foo", "Bar"))
Is there an easier way to build a formated string that must contain formating characters?

I have 1 masked textbox. I made a custom mask. My custom mask is >AAAA - AAAA - AAAA - AAAA - AAAA
Now my problem is. When the Masked textbox is empty is showes this:
____ - ____ - ____ - ____ - ____
I do not want the underlines and the hyphens showing. I was able to remove the underline by changing the PromptChar to a space. Now my problem is the hyphen. I do not want them showing. But I don't want them gone. I want them to show when the user has typed in 4 characters in each space.
Actualy when i do click to insert button in my form i get this error:
the strange is when i close this window and i do click again the insert button the record is successfully added the the database :( here my insert code (the necessary because it`s so long):
Try

Dim sqlQRY1 As String = "INSERT INTO AUDIO Values ('" + nomAudio + "')"
[Code]....
i would ask why in first click he show me error but in the second it worked although it`s the same operation, the same form without changing anything in his components and fields .
My customer requires text files to be written in the following format:
"adrian","sigamoney","01","1","B"

I'm trying to match a string to see if it matches exactly this:####-####, it has to be 4 digits followed by a hyphen followed by 4 more digits. Right now I have this pattern: "d{4}-d{4}" but it's allowing 5 digits in either (or both) instead of strictly 4 per group. Here's an example of what it should allow:
1999-2000
2003-2007
2009-2010
and here's what my pattern is allowing but should not be allowing:
20081-2009
2009-20101
12345-12345
12345-1234-1234
Essentially I am trying to replicate the Windows 7 (In-Windows) activation key TextBox form. The Form where it will auto capitalize letters, remove or deny all non alphanumeric characters except dashes every 5 characters that will be auto-input.I assume this can be done with a fairly complicated replacement Regular Expression but I cannot seem to create one to fit the needs.
This is an Example of what I have right now, but it creates an infinite loop as it removes all characters including dashes, than adds a dash, which changes the text and removes the dash again.

i have been trying to remove special characters. i am not able to remove many crlf in middile of the string.
View 3 RepliesI need to create a console program that allows you to enter a string, of which is then outputted in reverse.
Sample:
Input: Diewas
Output: saweiD
Apparently I need to find out about strings and will also need to use a loop.
Not sure if too many people know this, but the following line will cause an error:
GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_"
....if the length of GroupName is less than 3 characters. I always thought it would simply return whatever characters in GroupName, but no, it errors. I must be thinking of the old VB6 days.So, I now have to change the code to:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) Then
If (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then
Note that the two comparisons need to be on separate lines. If they are on the same line, such as:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) and (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then then the code will still fail as the length command is executed at the same time as the substring command- which will cause the error when the GroupName length is less than 3.Just thought that those of us not aware of this should be!

I have two textboxes. I type in one of them and the text gets copied in real time into another textbox. There is one catch. I need to replace specific character with something else.
If I enter a quote " in textbox1, it has to be replaced with " in textbox2.
I started with something like the below code, but obviously this does not work (tried different stuff - this is for demonstration only). In the example below 'a' represents " , and 'b' represents "
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyUp
TextBox2.Text = TextBox1.Text

With the shape of really large characters such as numbers and alphabetic characters + others, is there a way to get that shape as a REGION please?Imagine a really fat snake forming the letter S or two rectangles placed together to form a large letter L or a T like the shapes in TETRIS.
1) Does anyone know of anything in VB.Net that can translate such shapes into a System. Drawing.Region or know of a project elsewhere that achieves this please?
2) While I'm on the subject, how would you SCALE UP / DOWN a System.Drawing.Region please? How would you work out the Transform Matrix required please?

Program works good, it is mixing characters good, but it doesn't write text to the file. It will write text in console, but not in file. Note: Program is working only with words that are divisible by 2, but it's not a problem. Also, it does not return any error message.
I'm making a custom control suited for handling passwords. I have created a control that inherits from a text box and I have implemented a lot of things so far. But what i want to do now is create a system so that when a user types It will display his last character typed for a X amount of time. Is there a way to turn only selected characters into password characters and still be able to get the password text from the Text property ?
View 4 RepliesI know that the topic is kind of weird, but I will explain that here. I am reading text from a text box and inserting that into a listbox. I am wanting to read what the user inputs into the text box and add a character between each character they type. Here is what im wanting to do written out[code]...
View 4 Repliesexample. i have 2 textboxes and if there empty it says "Incorrect Information", but how do i make it that like when a person enters something into the textbox1 it can be 3 values minimum.. like it could be eather 2 letters 1 number or what ever just more than 3 values (no special characters), and on the password.. 6 values minimum (no special characters).

So I have an ASP.Net (vb.net) application. It has a textbox and the user is pasting text from Microsoft Word into it. So things like the long dash (charcode 150) are coming through as input. Other examples would be the smart quotes or accented characters. In my app I'm encoding them in xml and passing that to the database as an xml parameter to a sql stored procedure. It gets inserted in the database just as the user entered it.
The problem is the app that reads this data doesn't like these characters. So I need to translate them into the lower ascii (7bit I think) character set. How do I do that? How do I determine what encoding they are in so I can do something like the following. And would just requesting the ASCII equivalent translate them intelligently or do I have to write some code for that?
Also maybe it might be easier to solve this problem in the web page to begin with. When you copy the selection of characters from Word it puts several formats in the clipboard. The straight text one is the one I want. Is there a way to have the html textbox get that text when the user pastes into it? Do I have to set the encoding of the web page somehow?

I'm trying to do an Insert into a couple tables on one form with data controls. The problem is I don't know the approach. You see, the client has books to sell. He has catagories and he wants to add many catagories for each book. One or more catagories. It would seem to me that this is a many to many normalization. Being that one or more catagories can belong to one or more books? If this is incorrect, please tell me, as I thought it was a one to many earlier with one book having one or more catagories? Anyway, I need to be able to allow the client to enter one book, and then assign one or more catagories? He wants the potential buyers to be able to query books by catagories obviously. Wondering what approach to use? What data controls, and is it possible with just the controls, or do I need to write a stored procedure to grab the ID from the book using the @@Identity SQL statment?
