In VB .Net this code:
Dim t As UInt64
t = UInt64.MaxValue
t += 2UL
causes an overflow. It is my understanding that in C it "wraps". Assuming that is true, is there a way to mimic this in VB? I need this for an implementation of UInt128 I am trying to write.
I'm working with byte arrays and building and disassembling Int16/UInt16 and Int32/UInt32 from them. I'd like to not worry about the Sign bit until I return the final value and just have the code return the appropriate value for the data type that was requested to be converted to/from the byte array

so i need to make a program that adds the values between 1-100 to total up to 5050 but with that being said im not sure how i would code that. since its supposed to add all the numbers from 1-100 like 1 + 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10= 55 and im supposed to make the program do that until 100

View 6 RepliesI tried coding for an application that will display the positive integers, negative integers and zero entered in a inputBox. for some reason it keeps crashing down.here is my code. paging all visual basic professionals. [code]
View 6 RepliesBasically I have and array of integers that vary in size. I need to compare each number to each other number and display which number is repeated. For example:
Dim ints() As Integer = {1,2,2,5,4,6}
The number that shows up more than once is 2.
How can I run through the array and compare each integer with the numbers in the array. I tried a for loop but it didn't return the value I was looking for.

I am building a website to capture data. I have many spreadsheets that are used for data entry or capture. Now I want to mimic these complex spreadsheets on the web forms but I am unsure of the correct control to use.
Data entry must be allowed and live calculations also need to be made similar to formulas on normal excel spreadsheets. Later on the data must be captured into an SQL table.
What would be the best control to use or method to mimic that functionality, albeit that the spreadsheet component is no longer available in visual studio 2010. Is it a data grid?
there are two ways windows standby the computer by itself, close the lid and if the computer is not being used for XX minutes. however, there is a difference, when i open the lid the computer goes out of standby automatically but only if it was caused by closing the lid, but the other does not. so how do i use the lid-standby in VB? [code] and the device in manager "ACPI Lid" has no wake up options, like i have with some keyboards and mice.. so what is the difference, and how do i cause the computer to wake when i open the lid after the standby is initiated?

I am attempting to create a ASP .Net (VB.Net) custom control for an auto-complete drop down that uses jQuery auto-complete.The basic flow is the consumer of the control will set some properties (such as the data source) which will then be injected as javascript to initialize the autocomplete.There are a lot of pieces involved so i may have missed posting some of the code, please comment if you think something is missing and i will add it.the consumer's code behind (PreInit event):
myDropDown.DataCallback = "testFunc";
the DataCallback property in the control:
Public Property DataCallback As String
the options object creation and javascript injection in the control code behind (PreRender event):
Dim _serializer As New JavaScriptSerializer()
Dim optionsObject As New Dictionary(Of String, Object)
optionsObject.Add("source", DataCallback)
[code]....
when i debug into the initialize function, i see options has one property, source, with the string "testFunc" as it's value. what i need is for source's value to be testFunc (not as a string) so it can be executed as a callback in autocomplete instead of autocomplete thinking it is a URL.
So I implemented my own form of Enum static classes so I can associate strings to enumeration values. One of the shared functions in each enum class, GetValue, is used to quickly look up the string value from an internal array via the offset. While all of the enum classes implement the same exact function, the data types of their parameters differ, specific to the enums in each class.
So I come to a point where I want to create a generic class that can use any of the enums by passing it as a generic type parameter. But I cannot find a way to constrain type T in such a way to be able to call each enum's GetValue function. This is where an interface would come in handy, but VB.NET forbids interfaces for shared methods.
I have a base class that I could constrain to, but the base class doesn't implement the GetValue method, and I can't define a generic version of it, because I need to rely on shared properties of each child class in order for GetValue to do its thing.[code]..

View 2 RepliesI have an owner-drawn control where performance is an issue during quick repaints such as object drags, resizing and painting the selector square. i have noticed that several other apps, including Picasa, will temporarily draw a reduced-quality image during fast repaint scenarios and then update the image with a higher-quality version when the UI "settles down."
How should I (can I?) produce a lower-quality image to paint when many quick redraws are taking place? Are there other strategies similar to this i can employ to increase performance (or fake increased performance.) [code]...

View 3 RepliesHow do I pull off an unsigned left shift in VB.Net while using Option Strict? Maybe I am doing it wrong, but while trying to implement my own IP2Long function (I have my reasons), I'm testing things to make sure I have my head wrapped around the conversion process properly. Tried a few tests, all seem to cause errors.
Dim a As Int32
a = CUint(172 << 24) 'Constant expression not representable in type 'UInteger'
a = DirectCast((172 << 24), UInt32) 'Value of type 'Integer' cannot be converted to 'UInteger'
a = Convert.ToUInt32(172 << 24) 'Compiles, but throws an OverflowException
The last one is especially befuddling. 172 << 24 is a mere 2,885,681,152, well under the limit imposed by the UInt32 data type. My assumption is .NET is doing the left-shift in signed mode, then tries to convert, to unsigned, and this tosses up some kind of error. Basically, my question boils down to this: why do unsigned numeric have to act like such hacks to the .NET framework at times? Is it really that hard for Microsoft to make Unsigned data types intrinsic to the framework?
