I read in a Byte Array generated from a function called from an external DLL file and then converted (encoded) it into a String. In the Locals window (shown below), msg does not have a trailing double-quote.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have a problem that seems trivial. In an argument to an activity I need to supply a path.
This is done by this code:
String.Format("a
-bd -y -tzip {0} {1}* -r",
Path.Combine(BinariesDirectory,
"output.zip"),
BinariesDirectory)
However, the directories parameters contain spaces so they have to have quotes around them. I tried with single quote ' that works fine to put in the string, but the command shell executing the command ignores these. So it has to be double quote "
I have tried all methods I have fount on the Internet, for example to have a backslash before the double quote and to have three double quotes, but nothing seems to work. I get a compiler error as below.
Error 4 Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression "String.Format("a -bd -y -tzip "{0}" '{1}*' -r", Path.Combine(BinariesDirectory, "output.zip"), BinariesDirectory)".Comma, ')', or a valid expression continuation expected.
It would seem to be Dim MyString as String = """""" but VB doesn't like that.
View 2 RepliesWhile searching on how to escape a single quote in String.Format, I found the answer at SO: Escaping single quote in String.Format(). It seems to be different for VB though. I tested it, and indeed C# needs
string s = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMM d \'yy 'at' H:mmm");
while VB needs
Dim s As String = Now.ToString("MMM d 'yy 'at' H:mmm")
Why does C# need a double backslash, and VB a single backslash? This might be a bit of a silly question to C# users, but while I can read C#, I'm not used to writing it.

I noticed that if I leave off the terminating double quote for a string constant in Visual Studio 2010, there is no error or even a warning, i.e.
Dim foo as String = "hi
However, the continuous integration tool we are using flags an error:
error BC30648: String constants must end with a double quote.
Is there some language rule in VB.Net that makes a terminating double quote optional "sometimes"? Is there some setting in Visual Studio that will make it flag this as an error, so I can avoid "breaking the build" in this way?
I have a CSV file where the values are in double quotes and seperated by a comma. I'm getting incorrect data if I try to seperate the string with my Split function. How do I do it?

My computer's assettag formats like "1234567.1", the number behind the dot represent Node ID, which is assigned automatically by BMC chip during computer POST.
The question is, when I am using objSMBIOS.SMBIOSAssetTag to retrieve the assettag, I can only get "1234567", the node ID".1" is missing. However some other DMI tool such as "RW" can get the full assettag with out problem.
Now I need to script this to get node ID information every time OS starts, so I ask why the node ID part of asset tag is gone? any other way can I get SMBIOS type 3 infromation?

View 8 RepliesI am new to creating websites for people on a money-earning basis.. I created my Dads website for my final year project, and he will pay me eventually but obviously I cant charge him as much as anyone else.I have just been to a trade show where I picked up 1 definite and 2 possible sites to do. The definite one is as follows:They want a site which:Has a catalogue for the customer to view, as well as being able to order products at a retail price.Has an administrative section with order tracking, catalogue management and page view stats.Has other basic pages such as Contact Us, Terms etc (all the usual).Enables customers to post comments about items, as well as manage their accounts (addresses, payment details etc).Is linked up to sage pay or paypal (or something similar).My task is to design this site from scratch and launch it for them. They already have the hosting sorted out, so no need to worry about that in the quote. I am planning on using .net and SQL Server, if this makes any difference.Basically what I would like is to get some quotes for what other people would charge if they were given the task.

I have this block of code that sets up my sql parameters for a stored proc that does an insert.
Dim sproc As StoredProcedure = New StoredProcedure("UsersInsert2", DataAccessConfiguration)
sproc.AddInput("@ID", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 10, entity.UserId)
sproc.AddInput("@PCode", SqlDbType.SmallInt, entity.PriviledgeCode)
sproc.AddInput("@Pwd", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 10, entity.Password.ToString())
[code]...
I've tested the stored proc in SSMS and it works.The problem is when I try to call it from the application. it fails. the @@rowcount = -1. I've tried returning an error code from the db... no dice. keeps coming back as -1 what is going to get executed looks like this
sproc = {EXEC UsersInsert2 @ID=ruxtest7, @PCode=0, @Pwd=1234, @Lang=E, @Name=ruxpint, @Notice=1, @CreatedBy=ruxpint}
I've re-used this code several times. only difference being I'm using NVarChar and it's vb.net.

Make it possible for users to enter necessary data in the "new quote" screen. The data needs to be written into the database table of "new quote"Make it possible for users to lookup previously made quotes in the "open quote" screen. I want them to be able to select a quote based on "quotenumber" or "customername".They then must be able to select a quote, which will open a new window with all quote information from the tables. This information needs to be editable and savable to the databaseGenerate a PDF of a "finished" quote and mail it as attachment to a customerthe "customer information" table contains information for the quote concering address and name of customer. I want this so that users can select a customer in the "quote screen" and all other data will be filled in automatically. I also want that users
can give in a new customer in the quote screen and that that customer will be saved in the "customer information" table.point 4 is also applicable for the "material information table".

View 3 RepliesI am making a quote calculation program with Visual Basic. Per quote there can be multiple parts/products.
What I want now:
1) insert productinformation (dimensions, quantity etc.) in one form
2) write this data into a table or something
The program then needs to calculate prices etc. but first it is important to get the data right for the calculation.
What I am thinking of myself is putting the data into textboxes and then let this data be transported to a table and have one product per line in that table. from this it can be calculated
how do make a program that allows me to post a quote out of a file and put it on todays quote and a new one will come up
