im developing an vb.net application that displays live scores for soccer. Is it a must that i must get the live score from the xml feed like looping through the "nodes" to get what i want to display on vb.net form? is it more customizable with xml? Somehow i saw some website provide the web link to add to site, is the link can be used in my form in order to serve my purpose?
View 4 RepliesI am a CS grad, but haven't had much to do with programming since my school days as I went the BA route.Anyways, there are a few things that I do manually on the computer and thought that I could probably save time by creating an application for them.But I'm not really sure how to start.I'd like to be able to keep a history of Completed eBay listing so that I know when the price point is good and when it is too high.I noticed that eBay has an RSS feed, so I think I can do it. Just a couple of quick questions:
1 - Can I instruct VB.net to open a web browser and read an RSS feed, or would I need to manually do this myself and then run the application?
2 - What is the best way to work with RSS feeds? Should I convert the data into XML first?
how to convert rss feeds to datagrid in this fomat
<Row>
<Cell><Data ss:Type="String">Symbol</Data></Cell>
<Cell><Data ss:Type="String">Close</Data></Cell>
<Cell><Data ss:Type="String">Prev</Data></Cell>
[code]....
the values in the first <row> </row> of data are the column headings for the corresponding cells in the other <row> </row>considering that I can work with xml in the other format this is quite strange so any help will be needed.
i trying to display an rss feed but i dont think im using the right object as the webbrowser object does not work. ive tried several other objects but to no avail. is there a specific tool i should use or is it my code?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a program which can list all news from a webpage ( url...), but I have problems to get the news. I know that it is possible to get the rss feeds where all the news are listed ( for this example it's url...) via XML to LINQ ( I need all links, titles and descriptions ), but I have no knowledge in it
View 2 RepliesI want to make a database of all the xbox live arcade arcade games on the xbox live marketplace, I need to parse an xml file and add the needed data from the xml node into a datagridview.Here is the xml file i need to use to grab links and other data about the game:
[URL]
Being the noob I am it took me about 6 hours to figure out how xml works and to write some code for what i need to do.
Here is what i came up with:
'for grabbing the name of the update
Public Sub updatename()
Dim xmldoc As New XmlDataDocument()
[code]....
That code works fine.Now when i add another column to the datagridview called "update size" i want to know how to add the grabbed data from another sub i made to the new column.What would the code be for adding the strings for the new sub into the seconds column? the first was, DataGridView1.Rows.Add(str)" . So what would the second be ?Also another question i have is how do i put an image in an imagecolumn by a web link, not a local picture.
I've integrated a bit of code into my project using Visual Basic, that reads RSS feeds. It works absolutely fine. I did however intend it to read Facebook notifications to users of my program. The idea was, if you go on Facebook, clikc Notifications, click See All Notifications, click via RSS, you get an RSS feed right there. When I use the address in the address bar for my project's RSS reader though, I just get an error.
Like I said, it works for other feeds, just not working for Facebook notifications.
I have a requirement to consume only the latest two rss feeds (using .NET) to reduce latency in reading RSS. I found plenty of examples to consume RSS. However, I did not find any to limit the feeds being read. And, this is not for a windows forms application.
View 2 RepliesThis seems to be a great article by Scott Mitchell for creating syndicated feeds in ASP.NET 3.5. The problem for me is that it uses C# and Linq, which I'm not as sharp on at the current time.[URL]...Does anyone know where an example might exist for the System.ServiceModel.Syndication namespace that can produce a syndicated feed like this article using VB.NET and a SQLConnection object?
I've looked around and every example seems to be produced in C# and Linq (which is probably a testament to my need to learn them soon rather than later).

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I get a Null Reference Exception on the next to last line of code. (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.) The line that begins with "Temperature.Text = .......". If I remove the last two lines of code the program works.If I edit the last two line to read "yweather:condition/@temp, and yweather:condition/@date" instead of what's shown above, the program works. I think it has something to do with the XML NameSpaceManager not being setup correctly.
I have a form that contains a RichTextBox control that I have set to multiline. I also have a menu item that allows the user to save the contents of the RichTextBox as either a .rtf document or a .txt document. Here's the code I'm using so far:
If sfdSaveTextFile.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
m_strDocFileLocation = sfdSaveTextFile.FileName
m_strDocFileExtension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(m_strDocFileLocation)
[Code]....
into the RichTextBox control (rtb) then saves as a text file this would save the text file like: "TempTemp"
Is there any way to write to the text file with line feeds included?

I am completely new to VB ( and frustrated) and I need help with my code below What I am telling VB to do is to get the number in the txtScore, store it in an array ( no clue how to do this)Sum of all scores goes to the txtTotal. Then I need vb to count how many are stored in the array after that get the average by accessing the txtTotal divide by the txtScoreCt and show it on my txtAverage.

View 7 RepliesI have a datagridview with two columns; one named Names the other named Scores. This is my code so far Dim hScore As String() = New String() {strName, lblPercent.Text}
[Code]....
What I want it to do is sort the scores by greatest value to least value, but the problem I'm having is that the scores are stored as strings so they are being read and sorted from left to right. My question is, how do I store the scores in a numeric array and place them in the same row as the name, but in the second column? The names and scores only need to be stored as long as the program is running so I don't want to add anything to the registry or create new files to store them.
I'm doing a game. I have a form I want to display the game scores on and another form I have that calculates the scores. How do I make variables work from the first form on the second?

I know this is very basic stuff dealing with arrays, I have been messing this for a while and I'm not getting anywhere.I have a file with a list of 20 number 0-100.

View 10 RepliesI'm making a Pong game and currently when the game ends the scores are show in a lable and a message box pops up saying which of the two players won.
However the problem i am having is i want it so that the player who won has their score saved to a database so i need to know how to get the score from the Lable to save to the database but then also have a way possibly a message box ? where the player can input the desired username. so the database would have two collums username and score where score is updated automaticaly and the username is entered by the player.
