One of the features of my new Vb game is the ability to modularly add and remove in-game items. However, in order to add these items I figure their effects should be recorded in code in the text file they will be stored in.In short, I want to store code in a text file and then have it run on command
Furthermore, is there a way I could put all of the code on one line?
I have a program that dynamically generates new VB code, and needs to call that code later on. How do I get it to run code from a text file? Is there any command to extract lines from text files and run them as code?

Need to design a program that can encrypt and decrypt messages stored in simple text files using a private key stored in a separate file. Software should also be able to allow the users to enter simple messages that either displays the encrypted or decrypted message. The encryption method should use a simple substitution method. It should be set out in the following format:
Example (the "@" is the separator):
@
The character The Code End of line
A @ 4gh EOL
B @ 84!9 EOL
Has to use the 256 ASCII character codes. The separator will be used to separate the character and its corresponding code.Here are the pseudocodes I have come up with:
� Read any private key file
separator = readline(file);
while not EOF(file) do
tempStr = readline(file);

I'm using Visual Basic express 2008.The application I am working on is the first major project I have ever undertook with visual basics. The application is a launcher for a private server for world of warcraft.I have a menu bar that pulls the file path of the wow.exe and puts it in a hidden textbox, I then have another option that saves this text to c:wowexe.txt. All of this works GREAT!
How can I read the .txt file to end and return the information stored in the .txt file to this line of code.
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("This is where I need the data from the .txt file to be seen", 1)
If your wondering why I don't just type in the path of the .exe, it's simple, not everyone installs World of Warcraft on the C drive.
I'm working in VB.Net w/ WPF and I need to create a DataGrid at run-time (in the code-behind) with the text in each grid cell able to wrap. I've found a lot of examples showing how to do this in the XML but I can't find anything explaining how this is done in the code-behind. I'm stuck trying to figure out how the DataGridTemplateColumn, CellTemplate, and DataTemplate all work together.
<DataGridTemplateColumn>
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>

I think the problem is with the binding and the textblock property. Something like this would make more sense but it doesn't work...
Dim b1 As New Binding("Wrap")
factory1.SetValue(TextBlock.TextWrapping, b1)

I have a 'People' table that has CompleteName, Address, and Phone. I'm trying to look for the Name, and return the Phone number. I would like to use LIKE in the SELECT statement for the name.The code in VB is this:
Using Command As New SqlCommand("SearchPeople", MyConnection)
Command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Command.Parameters.Add("@Competename", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = Textbox1.Text

I have another table that looks for ID number, it works great with similar code, except this particular one doesn't return anything.I've tried adding "'%" & Textbox1.Text & "%'" also in WHERE CompleteName LIKE '%' + @CompleteName + "%'So how can I search using LIKE with this? If I don't use stored procedure and using sql commandtext, it works fine.

I have a stored procedure to update a table, but needs a couple of values from another table.
the first two selects get the value from the table and then are used in the update statement.
The select statments:
Select @iStatusDropDownValueID = iDropDownValueID
From DropDownValue
Inner Join DropDownValueType On DropDownValue.iDropDownValueTypeID =
[Code].....
First, the values that are retrieved by the first two select statements are always the same. So they could be passed in by the code itself. I don't know that this will speed things up at all, just make the entire stored procedure better and easier to read.
Second, if the "Value Name" should change this store procedure will break (which is possible, but not often).
I am looking for any insight into the Best Practices for this situation.
I have 2 problems, this may sound odd but is there an easy way to store and read vba/vbs inside a database (MSSQL)? Second problem, how to create vba/vbs so i can use it to interact with my own software?

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to open a text file that was already generated with info inside.I want to read specific lines and have them changed via user input.the lines are not consistently on the same "line".An example of the text I'm trying to read and change is:
// General (upgradeable) values the Player sees for each system
hullLevel = 1700
weaponsLevel = 1450
[code]....
The "H" in hullLevel shows up in line 26 in some of the files, line 27 in other, line 36 in some others and line 37 in yet others.
The reason this jumps around is that this comes from a file that is edited by other modders when they create a ship for a game that I'm modding.My program is designed to allow the user to visually see a representation of how strong and well equiped a ship is and change the values of each line with a slider bar.I have all the slider bar and progress bar code worked out.
I just need a way to reliably pull these lines no matter where they are from the ship file chosen by the user so that the program can edit them without disturbing the rest of the text in the file.
Im wonder how i can create a textfile from the text inside in the textbox. I have already begun with the code, but i get an error.

output = TextBox2.Text
output = GetFileContents("C: est.txt")
End Sub
How do i make it works?
How would you structure a large project with most of the business logic already inside stored procedures?We are moving from classic ASP to ASP.NET (VB) and pretty much all the business logic is inside stored procedures.Getting the logic out of there is pretty much impossible since my boss doesn't want to (too expensive, takes too long, no "real" added value).I was thinking about making a presentation layer made of aspx pages, a business logic / data access layer that would basically get the data and interact with the existing stored procedures and a business entities layer that would be made of classes (for entities and collections) containing the information to interact between those two layers.The reason I wanted to make those layers was to be able to reuse most of the code without duplicating it.

View 2 RepliesWhat I'm wanting to do is gonna sound pretty strange. I play a game called Wonderland Online. Usually while playing, I will have between 3-4 instances of the game going at the same time, each instance running a different character. Also, I will have open another program that I wrote that helps me figure out what I need to manufacture a certain item in the game. The running game is an 800x600 window, and I have all 5 of these windows open at once, where I am constantly moving things around, minimizing and maximizing.I want to create a app that would basically be a frame for the game. Creating the frame would not be hard, but this is the first time I have tried to get an external EXE to basically run inside of my program. Is this even possible? And if so, I would imagine I could run multiple EXEs and flip between them inside my frame. I could integrate my manufacturing program into the frame, as well as control which instance of the game is visible inside the frame.
