Similar in concept to Math.Abs() - I'm looking for a function that when given a positive integer will return the same integer. If given a negative, will return zero.
So:
f(3) = 3
f(0) = 0
f(-3) = 0
Yes, this is simple enough to write on my own but I'm wondering if the .NET Math class already has this built in or if the same can be achieved by cleverly chaining a few Math.* calls?

I'm creating an emulator for a device to simulate wave forms. My challenge is that when I try to convert the output of the following code, I can't convert the Math.Sin's double output into byte values that lend themselves to the byte array format required by an existing graphing control as listed at bottom below. I''m not sure how to handle this when the sin function creates negative values but the byte values will need to be positive and basically 'shifted up' so that anything over 127 is negative. (0 - 255) unsigned. BitConverter.GetBytes has been suggested but THIS is the result of that attempt.

View 1 RepliesI have a visual basic .net application. It has a sql server database and a dataset for it. I have created an interface to the database (passing through my dataset) to add, delete, save etc records in a table.
The ID entry has identity specification:Yes and increment seed 1 When I add a record, instead of giving 1,2,3... as id in the textbox it produces -1,-2,-3 (Negative integers)
I have a program that calculates values of a function, say f, with respect to another variable, say L.I have an array of f(L), for L going from 0 to a given integer value, say t-1 in steps of a value i.I need to export the values of this function to an Excel spreadsheet in a given column, and to do this, I would like to re-index the function f, since i is much less than one, and so the following loop I use (see below) won't work:
For L = 0 To t - 1 Step i
Sheet.Cells(L, 1) = L
Sheet.Cells(L + 1, 2) = f(L)
Next L
The first code in the loop will essentially load the values of L itself, at which the function is defined and calculated, and the next line will load the values of the function at each value of L.Since the indexes of the row and columns in an excel spreadsheet only go in steps of 1, I need to convert the indexes of the function, or the indexes to which L is loaded, so that it would be scaled so that the first entry corresponds to L=0, but the next is L=i, but loaded into row number 2, etc.
well i am having a couple of issues with this particular homework problem and this is my first programming class so there is probably quite a few mistakes well the homework problem is to take three double values entered by a user and display the largest and smallest using math.max and math.min and display the smallest and largest so i thought i could use a listbox and take the values that went to the listbox and assign variables to each so i can try to use each variable in the math.max and min but im not making it to far and i actually might be way off

I am working on this project and I am suppose to overload the method to allow strings instead of integer. Allow the user optionally add a thried string from a third text box. Okey I am trying to under stand this good. This is the code I have:
This is my overload class
Public Class OverloadEx
[CODE]........................
So with my overload class instead of integer I should put string there? If the user clicks the add button it will allow the user to add all 3 text boxes but when the user click the add string it will allow the user to add all three text boxes to string. So do I click the add string button to overload it to that one just like I did with the add?
I want to assign the value of the integer returned from the InStr method to a variable. So, If TextBox2.Text = "The Apple Pie" And TextBox1.Text = "App", I want the integer returned, which in this case would be 5, put into a variable, lets say its called 'VarString'.
So VarString (would) = 5.

In VB.NET, it is entirely possible to pass an integer as a string parameter to a method without calling .ToString() - it's even possible to call .ToString without the ()'s. The code will run without a problem, VB will interpret the integer as a string without having been told to. In C#, these would cause compilation errors - you are required to call .ToString() and to call it correctly in that situation before it will compile. Is there a way to make the VB compilation process check for the same things as the C# compilation process? Would it be best practice in a mixed team to force this check?

I'm trying to create a linked list of an array of integers. Why is the following implicit conversion required?
When I run the code that contains that conversion, I get the following error.
As a real-time data acquisition user control data (a packet of an array of bytes) arrives every second, is converted into an integer array and inserted into a linked list.
The most recently arrived data is painted as coordinates on a grid at the right of a PictureBox using Graphics.DrawLine (pen,X1,Y1,X2,Y2).
The oldest data (arriving 120 seconds ago) will be drawn at the leftmost portion of the Picturebox.
Why a linked list rather than a list? To display 120 views of time sequence data, the draw routine the most recently inserted node to a node that points to Nothing. How do I limit the length of the linked list to 120 nodes and always ensure that the last node points to Nothing?

I am new to EF Linq and I have been struggling with this query for a few days. From reading this forum, I have managed to get this far:

Where (f.UserID = Profile.ID)
Select f.FriendID).Except(From g In myEntities.GuestLists
Where g.EventID = _id
Select g.FriendID)

I am trying to get everybody from the FriendList who is not already on the GuestList to display in a Repeater control. After reading the forum I was able to append .First() to noPic at the myNoPic declaration and finally get a result but that only gave me the first element. Does anybody have any advice on how to accomplish this?

View 2 Repliesam trying to get the following code to work:
Dim testString As String
testString = cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
when doing so the code is being stoped and I get "InvalidCastException" error emssage:
Conversion from string "yyyyMMdd" to type 'Integer' is not valid.
If I do the following, then it works:
Dim testDate As Date
Dim testString As String
testDate = cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue
testString = testDate.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
This, returns the desired value: "20110103"
NB:
cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue.ToString returns: "03/01/2011 00:00:00"
So would it be possible that the problem comes from of the "time bit" : "00:00:00"?if, so is it the parsetime function which would allow to take into account only the time bit value of the combobox?
