LINQ - Validating All Textfields Of Two Group Boxes Have Information?
Mar 25, 2011
It appears to me to be right but always returns true.
vb
Private Function ValidateAllFieldsAreNotEmpty() As Boolean
Dim groupboxes = Me.Controls.OfType(Of GroupBox)()
Dim textboxes = groupboxes.SelectMany(Function(groupbox)
I have a problem in that I have five text boxes pertaining to a customer/client, where there is a txtbox for each: Name; Address; City: State; Zipcode. Of course all the txtboxes are "" at initialization. I also have 2 combo boxes and a 2D array for prices which I have finally been able to understand the array logic. I have also been able to do my necessary calculations for.
My problem. The customer information is first to be validated as all being strings and not empty. The combo boxes I was able to get to tie to my 2 dimentional array and get good output and calculations for a finished product. I am just having problems with the error messages. Also I don't want summary totals unless the data is valid. In other words, the user must enter a complete address and make decisions about the two combo boxes, both of which are needed to use the price array. I will change the comboBoxes to represent dress sizes,"S" "M" "L" and "XL" and the other combobox to describe colorRedSatin or colorBlackBroadcloth with a two dollar difference in price between them. 'That would be similar enough to the problem I need to solve.
Basically I do not want any numbers to appear for price of the dress or addons to the dress unless all validation is complete. I do understand how the radio objects work for discounts and check boxes for accumulating accessories. The program should not give any totals untill the user has input all customer information and made decisions about input from combo boxes and selected calculate from menu. Right now it calculates and puts zeros in when choices are not made from the combo boxes by the user. It will include correct amounts for radio buttons and checkboxes if anything is entered. I need error messages for customer inputs and combo box inputs (if not selected from list of option in drop down for choices) (basically if nothing was put in a text box, the text box is empty. Of course the problem is the user must enter something in all 5 textboxes and not get multiple error messages in rapid succession to fix. We can't always count on our users putting in good data.. When I tried a Do While False with ORs I was getting endless looping. I could not get it to work because it will never execute because the control never passes back to the user.
I don't want to list a series of If/Thens becauser the user will see about 7 messages, where he/she only needs to be fed one at the time. I hope someone can give me some direction. I just need guidance on how to validate the text boxes and combo boxes. The code is analyzed with a "Calculate" on the menustrip. I would like for the calculation not to calculate and put outputs into the summery text boxes unless all textboxes are filled and combo boxes are valid for all the customer information and combo box choices for my two combo boxes describing what is needed for the order to calculate. There are also the radiobuttons and checkboxes, DIMs, Const, Variables, but not having problems with that part I have my indexing problems on the combo boxes worked out also, so I am not concerned about those now except for getting the error messages when I should. I hope that I have described my issues fully. I am using visual studio 8 with Windows 7
I am having a problem with validating multiple text boxes in using VB.net. I have all boxes validated to display errors if the calculate button is click and the boxes are blank and I have each individual text box to display an error message if the appropriate requirements (values) are not entered. The issue I am having, I don't want these errors to pop up when a user clicks the clear button to re-enter new values,in which this occurs on each box. Below is the code I have for validating each textbox. If a user clicks the clear button (in which clears all text boxes) I still have my errors displayed to them in which I don't want
Private Sub txtLoanAmount_TextChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtLoanAmount.TextChanged If IsNumeric(Me.txtLoanAmount.Text) Then
I have an application that has more than 20 text boxes used as inputs(numeric) ( in a form with multiple tabs), and from these numeric inputs I calculate many parameters and display them in other text boxes.The question is how can I trigger an event that will run the calculation procedures each time any of the text boxes numeric values change?( with out having to make procedure for each text box validated eventIs there some thing like a common validation event for any entry in any text box?
I have a groupbox with 12 checkboxes(containing months of the year). I need to calculate and display the value in a text box.
For example if one check box is checked then on clicking the button calculate, it should be able to display the value 500 in the text box, if two checkboxes is checked then the total should be 1000, if three check boxes then total should be 1500 and so on[code]...
I am trying to get 2 group boxes with radio buttons. I would like to check a radio button in group box 1 and have a corresponding radio button in group set 2 get automatically checked based on what I check in group box1. I am trying to do this in VB.
The other day I needed to know how to handle a group of form items in one function, specifically speaking I needed to uncheck all ListBoxes in a group of a MenuStrip when any other was checked. Now I need something similar, except this time it's just a group of check boxes on a panel. heres the code I used for the other purpose.
I have a form that has group boxes of various controls for data input. One of the group boxes contains a user control. This user control can be 1 of 7 I have depending on the type of data I wish my user to load. The 7 user controls are all of various size. My form is a fixed size, and i have allowed room for the user control to fit the largest. However, the smallest one has a lot of space obviously. The resizing of the form itself I am struggling with. It has to be the size it is at now as there is a tab control,
I am currently trying to allocate a number of group boxes dynamically. Previously (in other languages) when I have carried out something like this I have used the '&' to substitute the contents of the variable direct into the code I.E
For I = 1 to 20 Groupboxname = "GroupBox"+I Weatherstates.&groupbox.controlls.add(obutton) next
This would then have the result of creating a button in all the group boxes, however this does not appear to work in VB .net 2010
I have looked at Directcast, but i am a even more confused. Is there a simple way to substitute the contents of a variable into the code ?
I seem to be having trouble getting group boxes to appear when I click a radio button.
For example:
If radiobutton1.Checked Then Groupbox1.Visible = True Groupbox2.Visible = False Groupbox3.Visible = False Groupbox4.Visible = False End If
This indeed brings up the first radio button however I have other groupboxes underneath which with the same code will not appear when the radio button is checked.
Eg:
If radiobutton2.Checked Then Groupbox2.Visible = True Groupbox1.Visible = False Groupbox3.Visible = False Groupbox4.Visible = False End If
The second groupbox does not appear and is directly behind the first groupbox.
I put some group boxes on a user interface and now labels and pictures that are set to visible can't be seen even when the group box is set to visible = false. (I have the group box and the pictures and labels in the same place on the form and was planning on using buttons to make them visible and invisible but the pictures and labels stay invisible no matter what while being in the same place as the group box.)
Does anyone know why group boxes do a sound job of making things invisible and how to correct it?
I am having trouble coming up with a way to add a selected radio button in a selected group box together.I have 3 group boxes each accessed by a checkbox within each group box there is 3 to 4 radio buttons. I would like to know how to add the selected radio buttons in each group box together and display them in a textbox by clicking a button "calculate". I believe I would have to make a global variable but I dont know where to start.
Private Sub Calculate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Calculatebtn.Click Dim answer As String
[code]....
I know this code is wrong but I was just trying to remember the calculate function.Is there a command that uses the selected radio button from the group boxes then I would be able to input that into my calculate button sub?
I understand because it has to be ON/OFF it won't go through to any other radio buttons in the group box. Would the best way is to use a hidden radio button that would switch control between the two? There's only two radio buttons i need to tab through, what's the best way to tackle this?
Im attempting to loop through all the text boxes inside of a group box, and add the text into a list box to later be written to a text file. Here is the code I am using.
Dim cControl As Control Dim FILE_NAME As String = "Tester.efw" Dim Group As GroupBox
[code]....
Now instead of locating only the text boxes, apparently it is still trying to identify the labels as text boxes, because I am getting this error:Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.Label' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox'.
I have written a code and tried linking up groupboxes from my input form called input.vb and the output form called results.vb.
[Code]...
I have used the above codes to access groupboxes from both forms. However, at run time I get errors saying "InvalidCastException was unhandled" and below that it says "Conversion from string to DOuble is not valid". This error points to a value in a group box that is actually hidden or disabled.
I'm fiddling around with trying to make a sort of map/world. I'm using 16 x 16 pictureboxes named PictureBox1, PictureBox2, etcThe issue is that when I put the images into all the pictureboxes, I have to have a line for each picturebox (so say I have 100 boxes, I have 100 lines).The only difference in each line is the picturebox number, the rest is identical. I'm basically telling it to set that picturebox's image based on the number that a variable I've created has stored.I've got a game idea, and I'm just trying to figure out how to do the map. I want it to work like the old school RPG games like Dragon Warrior, or the more recent Dwarf Fortress. I'm still not sure if I want to use graphics or letters. At this point, I'm just trying to figure out how I can create the main screen where the user moves around. This is what I've come up with, as it works with what I know. I'm pretty new to this, although I've messed around with VB6 a lot.
Dim tile(30) As Integer Dim tilelocation(3) As String Dim x As Integer
So basically what I'm trying to do is write data from an XML file (a "save file") back into the form. My controls are in all different group boxes (makes it much easier for showing and hiding groups of controls dynamically). I thought about and am putting each control's Parent name into the file, but can't figure out how to get that parent name back into the DirectCast within a For...Next loop so it will actually cast the data into the control.
I am trying to retrieve all processes running on a machine with the usual information; process id, name and the memory usage. I am trying to export it all under one xml file, however to get all the information I had to use 2 separate methods. To get the process id, name and session id (process owner) I used the following code along with a dictionary and a class, using a .net library called Cassia.
Using server As ITerminalServer = manager.GetRemoteServer("Spartacus") server.Open() For Each process As ITerminalServicesProcess In server.GetProcesses() If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(process.ProcessId) Then dictprocess.Add(process.ProcessId, New Processes(process.ProcessId, process.ProcessName, process.SessionId)) [Code] .....
As you can see the unique id (process id) is the same in each xml. Is there any way I can write the xml so that the information from both methods can be under one tag?
I have the following LINQ statement, which performs a simple linq query and assigns the resulting values labels on an asp.net web form:
Dim db As New MeetingManagerDataContext Dim q = From s In db.vwRoomAvailabilities _ Where s.MeetingID = lblMeetingID.Text _
[code]....
Originally, there was going to be only a single row result and you can see I'm using FirstOrDefault() to grab that single value which works great. But the design has changed, and multiple rows can now be returned by the query. I need to now Group By the MeetingID above, and SUM each of the selected columns (i.e. s.AllRequestedDoubles).
I have a list of object with 3 properties (quantity, service, name)I want to have all names and services in my list (kinda cross join) and the grouped quantity of the row corresponding. Not clear i guess
Quantity Service Name 3 Srv2 Bob 4 Srv2 Paul 2 Srv1 Paul 1 Srv2 Nick
I want as output All the services and all the names and corresponding quantities (0 if none)
Srv1 Paul 2 Srv1 Bob 0 Srv1 Nick 0
[code]....
Here is what I got so far, but I dont even get the expected resultsAnd I am acutally certain there is a pretty easy way of achieving what i want...
Dim services = (From a In interventions Select New With {.Service = a.Service}).Distinct() Dim months = (From b In interventions Select New With {.Month = b.DateHeureIntervention.Month}).Distinct() 'Dim query = (From s In services _
I have a table "People" with the following columns:
-FullName (nvarchar not null) -DOB (datetime null)
I want to write a LINQ to SQL to group the people by age, like following result:
Age 19: 4 ppl Age 20: 5 ppl Age 21: 6 ppl Here's my try: Dim query = From ppl In db.People _ Select New With {.Age = DateTime.Now.Year - CDate(ppl.DOB).Year, .CountAge = ppl.Count}
Notice that there are no DOB record for some people in the tables, so these shall not be included. The DOB column has record like this 1982-10-24 10:12:45 AM because it's a DateTime column.
I have a Linq Group By query that works. Here's the query:
Dim query = From fb As Feedback In lst Where fb.Seller.login_name.ToLower = UserName.ToLower Order By fb.transaction_id Descending, fb.creation Descending _
[Code]...
I don't like working with anonymous types so I'm trying to delare the result and am hitting an InvalidCastException.

So, armed with this information, here's the declaration used:
Dim query As IEnumerable(Of IGrouping(Of Int32?, IEnumerable(Of Feedback)))
Here's the error returned:

I'm trying to figure out how to use Group Joins in LINQ queries under VB.net. For some reason, every example I seem to find on the syntax is just plain At least, that's what my compiler keeps telling me. This is a simple example where I want to join orders to their order items so that I end up with a type that contains a collection of order items grouped together by their orderId's:
Dim groupedOrders = (From o In orders Group Join i In orderItems On o.OrderId Equals a.OrderId Into myOrders Select o.OrderId, myOrders).ToList()
What I'm currently running into in this example is that the 'myOrders' group I'm creating errors out with: Definition of method 'myOrders' is not accessible in this context.
