Quick Technique Of Setting / Saving Variables
Dec 26, 2011
I know this is a VB.Net messageboard, but it can work with in all languages. Is there a quick way to complete a line (sample code):
//Setting variables set 1
a = e;
b = f;
c = g;
d = h;
.....
//Saving changes set 2
e = a;
f = b;
g = c;
h = d;
without having to type everything out...A technique using EXCEL or Notepad....Find and Replace. This would save a lot of time coding and becomes pain in the butt when you working with many variables.

I'm trying to put together a quick program for our database, I haven't touched VB since vb6, and we have 2008 .NET now. my question.
Ideally I'd like to make an array which can hold multiple values...such as
Job[job#].joblocation
Job[job#].jobsupervisor
So there would be a Job array, and then different values contained within that. I can't seem to make an object or whatever which allows me to hold different variables inside it.

Question 1: What is the difference between "Background Worker" and "Worker Pool" as indicated within the MSDN samples provided.
Question 2: I noticed while using, AddressOf _Function_, variables cannot be passed; what would be an efficient solution to this?
Question 3: While using multithreading is it required to invoke before setting variables, or only form properties?
Question 4: While using System.Net.Sockets is it safe/efficient to use Application.DoEvents while waiting for new data; or would be using a Do While loop be fine without DoEvents since the action would be multithreaded? Note: there can be up to 2000-3000 sockets in use at a time.

In our projects we use setting variables to store user setting for the applications. Moreover, with every latest version of the applications, we upgrade these variables to retain user settings.Normally, this works fine, but recently one of my end user reported an error i.e.Configuration System failed to initialize". The error is related to user.config file. Therefore we requested the user to send us his file.After received the folder, we noticed that it contains 3 files (3begfjb.newcfg,3begfjb.tmp and user. config). 3begfjb.tmp is an empty file, while 3begfjb.newcfg and user.config are identical files. We tried to open these files but the data in user.config isn't proper xml rather its unreadable formatted file.Do any you guys had experienced this sort of issue or any ideas how and what may have created these files and corrupted user.config file.

I am developing a VB application using the Visual Studio 2008 IDE. I was making changes to my code using the Quick Replace function when the dialog window stopped displaying. Selection of Quick Find or Quick Replace from the Edit menu, as well as use of shortcut keys (CTL+F and CTL+H) all have the same affect: the IDE loses focus but no dialog windows display. Is this a known issue with an available fix?

I declare a variable as FRIEND in a Module. Then I instantiate that variable in a Sub in the Module. After the Sub runs, when I try to access that Variable, it is always NULL (Nothing).
Module MODULE_Main
Friend MyClass1 As Class1
Friend Sub Main()
[code]....
How do I get MyClass1 to persist, meaning how do I get access to that variable outside of the Sub that instantiates it?

I thought I had this figured out because it presented no errors, but when i tried to run it, I got this exception error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I am trying to set two private variables:
Private mdatStart As DateTime
Private mdatEnd As DateTime
I need to set these dates from a datetimepicker (dtpPickup, dtpReturn), but I don't now how to set it. I have tried using:
Private mdatStart As DateTime = New Date(dtpPickup.Value.Year, dtpPickup.Value.Month, dtpPickup.Value.Day)
'Private mdatEnd As DateTime = New DateTime(dtpReturn.Value.Year,

We have this current VBA program to help us with AutoCAD via the use of a template excel sheet.The setup we have created works well; however occasionally we have two drawings per folder, which often results in, two templates excel sheets of the same name, one overwriting the other. how I can set the active drawing name in a variable that our program uses to check for, then if not present that it creates a copy of out template and then saves it as the active drawings file name which was set as the variable
This would allow our program to locate the associated excel sheet by name then save it by the unique drawing name and prevent existing excel files being overwritten if in the same folder.
;===CODE STARTS HERE===
Option Explicit
Private Objexcel As Excel.Application
Private ObjWorkbook As Workbook

.From = New MailAddress("Me@MySite.com", "Big Mike")This does not;
Dim AddressFrom As String = "Me@MySite.com"
Dim FromDisplayName As String = "Big Mike"
.From = New MailAddress(AddressFrom , FromDisplayName)
I receive the error; The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.I would REALLY like to use variables here so that I can read these two pieces of data from My.Settings. I've been searching for the answer for hours and I'm stumped.

I can't get is to save variables permanently. For instance, say you run your project and in the source code you have Button1_click s=textbox1.text (s is the variable I declared) Button2_click s=label1.text. Say you type some thing into textbox1 then click button1. Then you click button2. Is it possible to make it that the next time you run the program the text you typed into textbox1.text last time is displayed when you click button2? I am using windows form.

Im studying vb coding at the moment and im designing a reasonably small text based game using the windows console and so far i have a nice working game but the main problem is that the game restarts when you end the console, obvious i know. Been trawling through pages looking at different ways to save multiple variables for multiple uses such as a save/load feature and most pages have confused me, people asking for help with commands im not common with. So far i've tried using my settings to save the variables in a test program but can't get it to work?I have in settings a variable called gold with a scope of user as an integer and i have this code to try and utilise it
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim answer As String

I am writing some code and want to check if certain things are in my database. Is there a better way than just creating a new string, performing the select and storing it in the string? I have to do this a few times for several items in my DB columns, but is there a way I should be doing this that would not require me to make a new string, and a new select for several items, well a better way? The items in my db aren't all strings and the data types vary.

I am working with binary files that have 500 rows and 500 columns (width x height). When I load these files into array I set width and height variables to 500 and I was wondering instead of hard-coding like that how I can code in a way that the program should find the # of rows and # of columns of the file before loading the file into array...

I'm developing a revised version of a system I have been using for years, but with all the advantages of .NET features that were not around when I first made this. It's proving a steep learning curve! So, when a user logs in through my Login.aspx page which simply compares username/password to Database record, the system creates a session variable containing the user's Username and various other things. There are two type of variable which will be common to all elements of this system
User Specific data, Username, Permissions, etc
Setting variables, drawn from a database of pre-set facilities which are setup within the system, some will determine which facilities work, how they work, and some will be dependent upon the User's permission. Obviously, I could set everything within the Session data, but that'd be inefficient wouldn't it? If I were to set these globally available variables in my App_Code, how would I go about setting this up so that, for example, those variables which require a database call, are set for the duration of the Logged-In session and do not require constant Database lookups? Further to that, those variables which are dependent on the session state, would need clearing on each LogOut. I am using VB.NET.

I have an xml document on the internet right. Lets say it contains:
<tag>goose</tag>
What I want to do, is when the user clicks a button in my vb form it looks for the "tag" tag and finds the text inside the tags which is goose. Then it sets a label to equal goose, or whats in those tags.

I have a small class of Object CellValue
Friend Class CellValue
Public CellColor As Color = Color.White
Public CellShape As Shape = Shape.Blank
Public CellName As String = ""
End Class
Then in my main I make an array of CellValue but I want to know if the values are also being passed down with the array.
Dim Plan(SizeW - 1, SizeH - 1) As CellValue
Dim CellW As Integer = PictureBox1.Width \ SizeW
Dim CellH As Integer = PictureBox1.Height \ SizeH
[Code].....
Are CellName, CellShape and CellColor being tied to each element in the array?. The reason is because I need to use these properties to tie certain functions to them. The CellName should have a MachineID which I would have to use to pull some info from a Database.
The Array should also be serialized and deserialized to XML as customer needs to create/edit and delete certain values in the array. And in order to save the array has to be in XML
So the Questions are does it save the CellName, CellShape and CellColor for each element, will it be affected if I serialize and deserialize using XML. If possible, how can I call up the Cellname p.e for a specific array element.

<pre-question blab>// skip if you want Might as well consider me new, as I haven't programmed in years, and that was only tinkering in Java. Trying to get back on track a bit, so starting with VB to get the feel going to continue learning. I don't mind putting in the effort to learn and look up, I just am not 100% sure what I should be looking into at the moment... Old programming I did was nothing advanced, only little things like calculators, notepad-esque writers, and that sort.</pre-question blab>
I'm BASICally wanting to know what I should look into for saving multiple variables of a custom class object to be loaded later. I've seen some things about text, and I can do that fine, but don't think it would be the proper/best way of handling things
at all. I also saw some talk of XML, SQL tables, etc. I just need a point in the right direction.
For a bit more info on my actual project, I was tinkering with a 'simple' program to allow users to create rooms/objects/etc., which will then be converted into Inform 7 language (an interactive-fiction language).The variables needing stored are objects with a number of string variables and integer variables. I need to be able to save those, then load them out later into an array of said objects.
For anyone needing a more VISUAL image of what I mean, here are a few screenshots to show you what I mean. Also, if anyone has ever used Adrift, it is (at the moment) very similar to it, but for the Inform language.

I'm setting up a simple app that has 2 variables, one from a combobox and one from a textbox.Putting all my code directly in the button1_click sub works just fine, however, I wanted to add a marquee progress bar so I tried to implement a backgroundworker.

and call it with Me.Invoke(New SetComboBoxTextDelegate(AddressOf SetComboBoxText), ComboBox1.Text)but it still throws the Cross-thread operation invalid error.

I have an MVC application which sets some session variables based on internal static IP addresses.I have built an ApplicationController to override the OnActionExecuted sub in MVC for data that I need to use throughout my application.However, the code below, which is just a snippet of my code but is edited for my post, only partially works. On initial page load, the session variables aren't saved, but after a page refresh they are. The issue I have is that these need to be saved on the initial page load.
If Session("Item1") = Nothing Then
If IpAddressShort <> "" Then
Dim locInfo = cmsRepository.GetInfoBasedOnLocation(IpAddressShort).SingleOrDefault()
If locInfo IsNot Nothing Then
[code]....
Theoretically, if I'm correct, if there is no Session("Item1") set/if Session("Item1") is empty, then the rest of the snippet should run and set those variables.How come this isn't setting those variables on the first time the page load?

visual basic 2008
I am pretty good with visual basic and visual studio, but the one problem I have is saving... I am currently creating a game, and it has a lot of variables, I want o be able to save all those variables to a text file and then re-open it later. When it is open, i want the variables to have the original value from the text document.
To sum it up: I need variables to be saved in a text file, and then be able to open the text file back and have the variables have the proper values from the text file.
I have been searching around google, and I found ideas, but I have no idea how to use them. Like using XML or saving a table with " TextFile.WriteFromTable" "TextFile.ReadToTable" but I don't exactly get how to use those (the posts weren't too clear)

1: counting button clicks and saving them to a variable and adding two. For example, if a button was clicked 10 times, the value of the variable would be 12.I would start with:Dim Buttoncount As IntegerButtoncount = ....This is the part i dont know. I would think it would be something like button1.click.numberofclicks or something, but i cant find anything that works

I have several forms that have a DataGridView object in them. I recently discovered the AllowUserToOrderColumns attribute. I set it to true and I can reorder the columns at will. The problem is that the order for these columns is lost once the form is closed. Ok, how do you save the order for these columns and then restore them to the form once it has been reopened?

how to save a forms position on the screen? So I can use it to set a working area?
I just want to save its current location to 4 variables

I am trying to create a graph that changes every second and just shows a 3 second history. In my head it would make sense to tie it into the T variable (Time in seconds), so I have form1 outputting T to a text box on form2 and then everytime that textbox changes it graphs the new chart.
The reason I am doing the step ladder approach is because I wanted the numbers to appear under the points as they travel. does this make any sense at all, or am I completely off base?
