I'm working on some code that was developed by the previous developer of an application and I don't understand why he used a certain syntax for IndexOf().This is the code (MyString is just an example of the string being searched for): [code] I can't seem to find any documentation for this unless it's inside of a loop where the number after the comma is incremented.
View 3 RepliesCould someone point me why the IndexOf returns always zero in the following text?
Dim Str as string = "<p><img class=floatLeft width="330"src="http://www.com"></p><p>"
Dim Idx as integer = Str.IndexOf("<p>")
Is there any other way, of getting the index?
I have a text label, split half-and-half with a "/".label1.text = "I like dogs/I like cats"This will not be the same text (and not the same textlength)every times. I need to delete everything before the "/" with only a button. (for example, delete "I like dogs")
View 6 RepliesI'm just extracting some very small text from a bigger text file. So, suppose I'm getting a dl link from a " dl link here " tag, there are multiple download links and the way i'm 'extracting' the download link from there uses the indexof method. There are multiple download links, so how would I get the next indexof?
View 2 Repliessubstring and the indexOf method
I have this problem that I'm going in circles on. The error message is "no accessible IndexOf can be called with these arguments."
My professor said that "to search for the string Los Angeles and substring will return it from the textbox, but it needs to know what position to start returning a word at, and that is where the IndexOf comes in." Does that mean substring and IndexOf are used together? That's what I did and may be the problem. Here's the code:

I'd like to know how I would find the index of an item in a string array. (All of the items are lowercase, so case shouldn't matter.)
My assignment in Visual Basic 2010 is to build a order form that has two text boxes, one for the name and the other for the address. And we're suppose to use the IndexOf method on the address. I understand that IndexOf returns the position of a character and the number of characters. What would be the purpose of using the IndexOf method on the address in this instance? I don't understand what I would be searching for when the user types in it's address that's going to be numbers and string characters. I think I understand what the IndexOf method does, somewhat, but why and what would I use it to achieve?

View 4 RepliesI have created an object hierarchy with nested generic listof() structures. I have created a treeview to match and graphically show the structure. I needed a way to show a property box of an object represented by the selected node on the treeview. So, I gave each of my objects a NodeIndex property, in which I would store the treeview.indexof(node) result, as shown below:
For Each oObject In oJob.ObjectListOfCollection
tnode = New TreeNode(oObject.Name)
Treeview.Nodes.Add(tnode)

What would be the simplest way to find the n-th position of delimiter in a string.For example, say, I have a string variable called FullFilePath that contains the path of a file, like, C:SourceFiles<mthyr><subject><filename>.txt From this, I would like to extract out mthyr, subject, and filename, using the delimiter, "".
I was hoping string.IndexOf would let me find the n-th position of the delimiter "", in which case I can use the result to do a string.Substring. But it looks like IndexOf only finds the first occurence of a certain string, which means I would have to interate this somehow to look for the n-th occurence.
Or is there another method that will help me do this more efficiently.
Can anyone give a good explanation of how the indexof method works and what is meant by "Index" ?

i want index of the first value in a string Without calling IndexOf.
Like, " I am going" and my search value is "am"
so it should give me index value as "2".
How do I use the Indexof Method to search for an Index a number? The number will be different on each line of the file. Each array has a name and a different zip code. I want to tell it to search for the first number in the line. Everything before that index will be first name, last name, and then zip code.

I have a string with 60000+ characters. I look for informations inside the string in a sequentially order. Every time I found a information I delete whatever is behind that information. In other words I reduce the size of the string every time I find something, and I do this using IndexOf and Remove, much like this:
vb.net Str = Str.Remove(0, Str.IndexOf("MyInfo"))
This can be quite heavy on the processor. So my question is it faster to look the informations using Regex or it would be about the same?

I have loaded a list of values from a mysql database into a CheckedListBox and want to be able to select them to eb used in a query. The CheckedListBox shows the data as table_name.attribute_name, and when an item is selected I try to break up the two values by using a substring, like this:
Dim strTable As String = clbFields.GetItemText(clbFields.SelectedItem.Substring(0, clbFields.SelectedItem.IndexOf("."))).ToString
Dim strAttribute As String = clbFields.GetItemText(clbFields.SelectedItem).ToString
Whenever I select an item though it comes up with the error "Public member 'IndexOf' on type 'DataRowView' not found." What needs to be changed?
I'm having trouble with a more complex program, so I've created a simple program to highlight my issue (see code block below). When I declare a Collection generically (like I have below) and try to call IndexOf, I get the following compiler error:
'IndexOf' is not a member of 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Collection'. (BC30456)
If I instead declare my Collection as a collection of strings (Public mycollection As New Collection(Of String)), I then have access to the usual methods, but the .Add method then only allows a single string to be passed to it. This means that I can't use a key, which seems to be the point of a collection. Is there any way to have a general, keyed collection that can use IndexOf?

I have a program that is reading an Excel (xlsx) file and I am trying to take the data found in one of the cells and split it based upon the '@' symbol inside that cell. Here's an example: value in cell is "XXX @ YYY" I declare 3 strings (strOriginal, strA, strH) strOriginal is the value from the cell ("XXX @ YYY") then my code is supposed to split up the values in the Original string based upon that '@' symbol.So when my code is done, strA should = 'XXX' and strH should = 'YYY'.
Here is my code
strOriginal = dtbExcelData.Rows(0).Item(0).ToString
y = strOriginal.IndexOf("@")
strA = strOriginal.Substring(0, y - 1)
[code]....
For some unknown reason, the y integer (in this case, it is '4') changes to a random number (it has changed to 44, 61, 124) and causes the error "Error with Excel file: Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length" to occur.I understand why the error occurs (my y integer is not staying at 4)...I just don't understand why that y integer is changing numbers when it should remain as the indexof the '@' symbol. I'm looking for any suggestions on how to pull out the data after the space after the '@' symbol (the 'YYY' portion of 'XXX @ YYY'). Also sometimes the 'YYY' is only 'YY' as well.
What if we wanted seconded index of? ' example this is a long message after a few spaces. If we wanted to split this message from the second index of " " (space) returned result long message after a few spaces

What I am doing is iterating through all the groups that belong to the top group (Generic reports). Then I take advantage of the GroupPrincipal.GetMembers(True) which will recurse through a given group name. I test to see if the user exits under that group and if true I put the group name in an arraylist.
I use the for each principal in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers to loop through each returned user to see if they exist.
Is there a way to put all the returned users Principal.Name from a given group in GroupPrincipal.GetMembers into an ArrayList? This would allow me to to use Arraylist1.IndexOf to search for user. Which would be much faster then iterating through a returned list using the for each construct.

Whenever I work with applications involving database I have this habit of declaring a global variable that holds reference to a Connection object and keeps it open throughout the lifetime of the application and closes and disposes it accordingly at program exit.I've been doing this since my VB6 days and still doing it now in dotNET. I've read a lot of articles regarding this practice and most of them states that it has great impact on connection pooling. Does this also mean something when my application connects to a database file (i.e. MS Access, flat text files)? Is it true that the DataAdapter and Command objects open and close the connection?

The problem I am experiencing has to do with using DataGridView.Member to access a BindingList.
My app has a UserControl called MaterialsControl, on it lives a DataGridView name dgvLineItems. Using the designer, I've set the DataSource for dgvLineItems to the MaterialsControl. MaterialsControl also has a "Items" Property. "Items" is a BindingList(Of LineItem). dgvLineItems.Member is set to "Items." The LineItem class implements INotifyPropertyChanged
Presently, when I add anything to Items, the DataGridView does not show any changes.Alternatively, when dgvLineItems.DataSource is set to Items (which to my knowledge can only be done manually), anything added to Items appears in the dgvLineItems.
Just for clarification, the DataGridView I'm using is for output primarily, the user will be able to delete values from the view, but not edit them. Insertion is done through an event handler.

View 2 RepliesI'm using VB.Net 2008 .NET 3.0.I am not sure of the proper,or best, way to use Settings and Resources. For now I use the default project wide My.Settings and My.Resources.I have a class that I would like to reuse in other projects, so adding project wide settings or resources in each project doesn't sound proper, nor does creating constants and variables within the class itself.
I'm guessing there is a way to give a class its own resource file, and maybe even settings file, but I'm not sure how to do it. I tried adding a resource file with the same name (but with .resx extension) and I got a weird error saying I was trying to edit a resource that is apart of another project. I continued, but it didn't seem to be what I wanted and I wasn't sure how to access that new resource.I'm not currently concerned with internationalization, but it wouldn't hurt to understand how that would affect what I'm trying to do.
