I am storing some user settings by the very handy My.Settings classes in VB.net and it seems to be taking a mixed case string (a file path and filename) and returns it in all upper case.

<Visual Studio 2005. VB.NET.>How do let user write only upper case in the text box?
View 7 RepliesHere is what ive got:
a1 = inputbox("YES or NO")
If a1 = "YES" Or a1 = "yes" Then
That's all we need to know. There are a variety of choices people could put in the input box:
YES
YEs
YeS
yES
yes
Yes
yEs
yeS
I don't want to do if a1 = "YES" or a1 = "YEs" or ... etc
Is there some way I can do:
if a1 = allcase."YES" then
Or something along the lines of that?
I'm currently using this bit of code to let only Y, N, and Backspace be typed in my textbox: [code] My problem is that when I debug, the "n" has to be capitalized in order for it to show up in my textbox and the "y" has to be lower cased. Is there anyway that I can bypass this to where it doesn't matter wether or not it is upper or lower case?

View 3 RepliesI have a series of text fields on a simple form (inside a group box) I would like to enforce all the text be upper case upon submission to the database. I know I can use the Ucase command. The question is implementation. How can I very efficiently force all the field values to upper case vs. say doing Ucase(TextBox1), Ucase(TextBox2).... ( I have 12 fields in this case) Is there a way to treat the text boxes as a collection and do it in one shot? Just trying to be very efficient and create clean, tight code even on such a simple thing.

This works fine. But if I have search for this:
"My Search"
I wont find this:

Is there any way to search for text of any casing, and if so how can I adapt my code to do this.
Public Function TitleCase(ByVal strIn As String)
Dim result As String = ""
Dim culture As New CultureInfo("en", False)
Dim tInfo As TextInfo = culture.TextInfo()
result = tInfo.ToTitleCase(strIn)
Return result
End Function
If I input "TEST" into the function above. The output is "TEST". Ideally it would output "Test". I also tried the code snippets from this post to no avail: Use of ToTitleCase.
Both of the below return the computers name in upper case even when the actual name is in lower case:
MsgBox("Computer name: " & My.Computer.Name)
MsgBox(Environment.MachineName)
Is this true for every windows version? I only use MsgBox when testing.
For example, I want to match <Tag or <TAG and replace to <tag
Here's what I did(which obviously did not work): tmp = Regex.Replace(tmp, "<(.*)", LCase("$1"))
Just wondering what are some good ways to do this?

View 7 RepliesI have a ton of questions that I cant seem to figure out in regards to VB Script.
1. How do you convert text in a text box to Upper Case?
2. How do you write the code to display messages in a Label box?
3. How do you check for numeric values?
4. How do you check for an empty string and find the length?
5. How do you extract a substring?
I'm having trouble passing strings to a C++ DLL from my vb.net program. I get constant Read/Write memory error exceptions. My C++ code is as follows:

I am working on a program for a client and will need a feature to search for strings from an array without case sensitivity. This currently works, but it is case sensitive. I commented out the code for readability.

"Melancholy Earrings", "Melancholy Belt", "Melancholy Ring", "Jubilant Ring", "Jubilant Earrings", _

I am trying to call an external C++ function using VB.NET (answers in C# are fine, I can convert back) which returns a list of device names. This comes in the form of a pointer to a null-terminated array of null-terminated char arrays (correct me if I've misunderstood what I'm dealing with) with a function signature:
long GetNames(char*** names)
Most of the answers to similar questions I've found have involved something more like:
long GetNames(char** names, int length)
It appears from what I've read that I need to give it an IntPtr but I'm uncertain as to how this should be initialized, and in my case I don't know the length of the array. At the moment, in the VB module, I have:
<DllImport("MyExternal.dll", CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl)> _
Function GetNames(ByRef names as IntPtr) As UInteger
End Function
I've tried calling the function by passing an IntPtr initialized as IntPtr.Zero or using Marshall.AllocHGlobal, but I always get an AccessViolationException.
Any ideas on how I should be calling this function and how I get the return value into a managed string array would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I've found a sample function call in native C as follows:
char **tmplist;
GetNames(&tmplist)
Is there a way I can store HUGE strings without using settings? Or storing it outside the program?

I've came to the stage where i need to save strings and application settings for my application. The My.Settings have worked it out until now. Now i have to store so many settings it's hard to keep track of them. That is why i need something new. So i've been looking around in INI files which seems impressively simple - but not very flexible. I've also took a look at XML which seems to be something to dive in to. But what i need now is advice. How do you store settings?

It checks if the webpage in the web browser control has crashed. The website crashes alot. I want to acomplish this by checking the text of the webpage for vital keywords such as "ERROR" or "Could not connect:" or "An error occured. Returning to the autowatch system in 60 seconds..." The code I have so far is below.
Dim myText As String = Me.WebBrowser1.Document.Body.InnerText
If myText.Trim().StartsWith("Could not connect:") Then

The page refreshes every 5 to 120 seconds. The timer gets activated 10 seconds into the program's launch. It refeshes the code above every 5 seconds(to minimize CPU usage). However, it crashes and gives the error "NullReferenceException was unhandled". This could be because the page keeps on refreshing or the page is php and has 2 iframes. How do I fix this?
Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?
