Where can I get a list of all countries/cities to populate a listbox?
I've got a bit of a dilemma where I need a list of all the country names in German. I can get this info for English using the following code but I'm not sure how to do it for German. [code]...
Sometimes, you see a ComboBox in Windows with languages or countries in it. Is there a component like that in VB.NET? Or can I get the list from Windows?
I have fourm with a drop down box which has 4 things in it. e.g property, unlisted, listed and i have another drop down called country with a list of countries. what im trying to do it when someone click on the unlisted from the first drop down and tries pressing ok i want a pop up to say have to fill in country.
I'm using a list box with multiple selections to add to my string -- I can't figure why my conditional doesn't seem to work. Every selection in the list box is intended to add specific literal to the string I'm building. What am I doing wrong See my code:
'special conditions strScopeParagraph &= "Some special conditions which will require specific attention are:" 'strScopeParagraph &= ControlChars.Cr
In my career I have seen literally dozens of ways that people choose to handle implementing state and country data (as in NY or USA). I've seen enumerations, multi-dimensional arrays, data driven classes from XML docs or databases, and good old-fashioned strings.
So, I'm wondering, what do people consider the "best way" to handle this very common implementation? I know that most of the answers will be based primarily on opinion and preference; but, I'm curious to hear arguments as a recent discussion for an app I'm working on has resulted in a small debate.
Trying to locate information on translation services offered by Microsoft for Visual Basic around the world. Also, what arrangements does Microsoft have in place for those countries other than English speaking countries whose programmers want to use Visual Studio.NET.
i saw in many website that there's a combobox that display all the world countries to choose one of the country as your country.so i want to do this in program.is there any class or library that have all the world countries and then i add them to combo box?or do i need to enter them manually?
In my winform app in VB.NET I want to use the localization option. But i have a few questions/problems. I'm using a menu strip to select an other language. But it seems that is doesn't change my menustip text to my selected language. It does change my labels, buttons, and textboxes but menu strips don't seem to change when I choose another language. Also is it possible to get those resx files such as MyForm.fr-FR.resx compiled so it isn't an external file outside my app? Or to get those files in an Language folder at the same location of my app, so i don't have all those fr-FR & nl-Nl folders in the same location as my program?
I have multilingual application that was done in VB2005.We recently had a request to translate the application to Arabic (Egypt), so I have been happily running through all of the forms and changing the layout for Right to Left format.I have 2 forms that are problematic though.On one form, whenever I select Arabic (Egypt), it will automatically switch the selection to Arabic (Saudi Arabia) and try to add an ar-SA resx file.On the other problematic form, if I choose Arabic (Egypt), the IDE will automatically select Chinese (People's Republic of China), then copy the contents of my ar-EG resx file into the zh-CN file, overwriting all of our Chinese translations and layout changes with the Arabic ones.
I have created a neat visual basic app.In it are 25 little Access databases that the user selects things from. The costs of each selection is added, subtracted, divided and totaled. Finally all the selection totals (25 of them) are saved in one database that the user can come back later to either finish selecting (if he didn't before) or delete it. There are many images and sounds, text boxes, drop down lists,etc in the app. Its about 10MB big.
What langauge do you think would be the best one to use to put this app on the web so that users can play with it without buying a CD or downloading a CD?
Before I invest to have it re-done in a lanquage to put it on the web OR I learn another langauge and do it myself..
have created a text editor, but I want to upgrade it with some serious functionality and userbility.
I have done most of the things that I had planned, but I have also come up with an idea that I am not too sure on how to code.
I have created a dialog box which opens when you click the options menu item in the menu stip control, I have customised this dialog box so the user can change display modes and so on but now I want to be able to change the language of the entire application as in from the default English (american) to French, German and so on.
When the user changes the language selection I want the text in the menu bar, the title of the app and the text of whatever is in the text box of the app.
I have created check boxes for the language selections, and invoked the check box click handle events but not sure how to proceed with the rest of the code.
In previous I have great experience on Vb 6.0 And Now I am getting train on Vb.Net. But some well adviser saying you should study C# instead of Vb.Net. In this case I don't know which language I should study.
BASIC and its variants Visual Basic and VB.NET are the only programming languages I know of that treat the end of line character as a statement terminator (I'm excluding batch files and command scripts from the domain of programming languages). I'm curious: is there any other language that uses this convention, or does BASIC stand alone?
Is there a way to get the system language.for example when ur system language is set to english it selects the case english then sets all the form strings into english, when the case is dutch it sets all the form strings to dutch.I'm prepared to translate the strings myself but the real question is what funcion I need to use on how to get the language.
I have developed a library mangement system in VB 6.0 and haven't been able to fulfill the aim of being able to input data in another language (hindi).I've now newly switched to VB.NET 2003.
I'm looking how to code a language bar, when Language>Dutch, English, French.
I was able to do it like this;
[Code]...
But now I would like to know how I can do it using an array, arraylist or collection. Or if you know a tutorial or some other sample, would be nice too.
I noticed that MIDL.exe only generates header file (*_h.h) and GUID file (*_i.c) for C/C++. Which facilitates creating COM in C/C++. What if I want to create COM in VB or some other language? IMO, I must define the interface in MIDL language first, and then compile it with MIDL.exe. So how could other languages utilize the output of MIDL.exe?
I'm just a programmer with visual basic 6 also c language.
My friend told me to move into visual basic.net is more easy than vb6 also the IDE is better, another friend is told to move in visual c++.net, the IDE is better than devcpp.
I don't know about vb net or vcpp net language, because I'm leaving a world of programming since two years ago but now I need it to use in my work.[code]...
Upon careful consideration of the latest syntax additions to the VB.Net language ( ie. 2010 edition) I wish to suggest a name change of the language. My reason is simple, increasingly the language is becoming nothing like the BASIC core language which the earlier versions represented. Thus the basic component of the name in my opinion has to replaced with something.
I have a general question about the programming language vb.net. I wonder how I should see the vb.net language compared to a "lower generation " language like for example C+.For example if you had to develop a CRM application , can you build such an application in both programming languages with the same amount of detail and efficiency?
Is it right if I say that the "language" vb.net is an abstract version of for a example a lower language like C+ in a way that the same possibilities are possible as with C+ but more efficient so it takes the programmer less time? So basically if you would compare it with building a house in C+ you would need to build a door with all the separate pieces while in vb.net you would just place a door as a whole. But this does not mean the possibilities of building a house as a whole are fewer.
So now comes my final question: can vb.net be seen as a true programming language like C and can somebody who masters vb.net be seen as an equally good programmer as somebody who masters C+. Or would the C+ programmer in this case be superior?
It's a fairly straightforward (desktop based) application with a central datasource on the network, for storing and editing parts that make up a machine. The machine needs to be configured in the application, and with this configuration production documents (manuals, software, bill of material) are generated. (e.g. if part A and B are added to the configured machine, then variation X on chapter 5 of the manual has to be used, if that makes sense)There's a few non-standard components like a tree with radio & checkboxes, and it has to have some sort of version control in it. It needs a WYSIWYG editor to edit chapters of manuals. It doesn't necessarily have to run on platforms other than Windows because it will only be used on the company network and everybody runs windows.I was thinking Java because of it's huge numbers of useful libraries and free IDE's. I'm a Java programmer myself so I'm not very familiar with other programming languages.I believe there's a bit of VB/VBA and Delphi knowledge present in the company (it's not an IT company and I'm not likely to program it myself).
I found a very useful source code on how to make a fud cryptor, but the author didn't mention which coding language / software he used, please follow the link below, to see the full source code.
This returns "ţ" when it should be "þ" However, Asc("ţ") returns 116. This: Asc(Chr(254)) returns 116.Why would Asc() and Chr() be different?I checked and the 'wide' functions do work correctly: ascw(chrw(254)) = 254
