My app saves a bunch of stuff to an XML file. This is my line of code-
Using writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:vdx2kMWSREEXTReportsInboxTK" & frmCitation.txtCiteNumber.Text & "Traff.xml", settings)
So that saves it at that specific location.
I need to duplicate the XML and have it also save in another location. I've been at this for days, Googling, searching, trying different things and now I need to turn here for help.
I am taking in two html files and creating one out of them. To do this I am opening the first html file and not writing out the closing </body> and </html> tag and opening the second file and not writing out the corresponding opening tags, as well as the <style></style>section. I start a streamwriter, and write the lines out to it, and then close the streamwriter. My problem is that the output file is filled with strange characters. I've tried opening the streamwriter with different character sets as the third parm, but all this does is change the characters to different strange characters.It says charset=windows-1252 at the tops of the input files (and the output files for that matter - since I'm just reading stuff in and writing it out - with the exceptions mentioned above).Questions;First, do you think I am properly approaching appending two .htm files together?Second, how can I eliminate these strange characters.
Im using this little function to search for text within some downloaded HTML source:
Public Function GetStringBetween(ByVal InputText As String, _ ByVal starttext As String, _ ByVal endtext As String)
Dim lnTextStart As Long Dim lnTextEnd As Long
lnTextStart = InStr(StartPosition, InputText, starttext, vbTextCompare) + Len(starttext) lnTextEnd = InStr(lnTextStart, InputText, endtext, vbTextCompare) If lnTextStart >= (StartPosition + Len(starttext)) And lnTextEnd > lnTextStart Then GetStringBetween = Mid$(InputText, lnTextStart, lnTextEnd - lnTextStart) Else GetStringBetween = "ERROR" End If End Function
It works great, but i need to be able to search for something that spans over 2 lines. E.g.
Sam works in a shop from the hours of 09:00 to 15:00
I want to search for the words "hours of" - but because they are on seperate lines, it cannot find it.
I have tried "hours" & Environment.NewLine & "of" - and other variants of envirmonment.newline (knowing they all return the same value, but, hey, you gotta try) but to no avail. Surely there must be some sort of syntax to ge around this?
i wish to run a program with 2 forms form 1 will have 2 radio buttons and a textbox and form 2 will have 2 textboxs i wish to use the radio buttons to select wich information is bieing displayed from either form2 textbox1 or textbox2 using the radio buttons on form1 then display the information in textbox1 of form1.
How do i go about making variables on a second form have the same value as in the first form while still being able to make the variable on the first any given word or phrase and it appear the same on the second form?
I'm trying to open a connection and create an SQL statement with two different tables in different Access DBs. Is this possible? I'd like to join the tables in a query.
Is there a great advantage in splitting somewhat large Access databases? Or is it best to just create a large access database with many tables?
Basically I try to get a DataGridView and a BindingSource working inside a class. I define them by:
Dim TempDGV3 As DataGridView = New DataGridView Dim TestBinding As BindingSource = New BindingSource
When I manually add columns to the DataGridView, it works perfectly, but when I set it's DataSource to a bindingsource from a base class, it doesn't load data and keeps throwing 'object does not exist' errors. The bindingsource mentioned here did, however, work on other DataGridViews that are defined in the base class (and implemented in the form to which the base class belongs)
Same for the BindingSource(not the above mentioned, but the one I try to create inside the class in the beginning of this post). I try to use it in the following way:
But the BindingSource keeps returning 'Nothing' for it's datasource and basically doesn't work. However, the SourceDataGridView mentioned here gets filled with 63 columns with "AllowUserToAddRows" and other properties when the columns names are asked.
So my question is: how do I get the BindingSource and the DataGridView to work in this class? I'm getting the feeling I'm missing out on something very obviously here. If that's not the case, I can report back with more code?
This is a very basic newbie question, but I still haven't worked it out yet. I have a fair amount of code that I want carried out inside my Form1_Mousemove event, but I also want the exact same code inside the Form1_MoveClick event. I assume the best solution is to take all of the code and put it inside a seperate procedure and call it from both events? Or is it possible to call one of the events manually so inside my Mouseclick event, could I force a call to the Mousemove event?
I have a program where a user puts a string into a textbox, and then character one goes into Textbox1, char2 goes into TB2, char3 goes into TB3, etc.I have a For loop that gets all of my textboxes that are used for this, and I have my for loop that is supposed to go through my string character by character.[code]
Dim strHml as string = "<html><head><title></title></head><body><div class="normal">Dog</div> <div class="normal">Cat</div><div class="normal">Elephant</div><div class="normal">Giraffe</div><div class="normal"><div><p>Random Div</p></div>Lion</div><div>Wolf</div> <div>Tiger</div></body></html>"
I want to somehow be able to pull all the div tags and their content and put each one into an array have looked at split function and regular expressions but no clear and easy solution has presented itself as yet.I have amended this slightly to incorporate nested div tags, but those tags I still need returning in the format :-
I'm relatively new to the vb.net framework and object oriented programming. After perusing the threads for a few hours I can't quite find an answer so I'm posting this thread. I'm not necessarily looking for code examples. I just want to know if it's possible and where to look next. Basically I'm trying to build a starter application that will help me learn programming. One of the main things I want to do is to be able to dynamically (at run time) create a set of information (data) that can be manipulated via a set of static (and/or dynamic) functions/calculations. The reason I need it to be dynamic is because even though this program is really just for my own fun and perusal on my own machine (and I want it to be able to run without any outside connections (i.e. databases or servers) the data itself is going to be location (i.e.State of residence or even city) specific. Essentially most of the data will be numerical and can be of the integer type. But I'd like to be able to adjust and create new data sets if desired. From everything I've read and researched I haven't found a way to do this (at least now without an excessive amount of coding that is above my expertise). So I want to know if there is a way to do this that is relatively simple.
After a path is defined with all its components, is there a version of the DrawPath that allows the composite object to be drawn in locations other than the initial locationsFor example, the code shown below displays an ellipse and two rectangles in a specificocation. To also display the same objects in one or more other location,s, is it possible to disply the defined path at other locations or is it necessary
I am working on making a picturebox that when clicked in a general location it will do something. Is there a way to make a grid out of a picture so when a certain slot on that grid is clicked an event will happen? It cant be an exact location, because that will be too hard to click. but a relative location would be perfect.
The file locations for a setup package using Standard Edition? I have added an .xls file to my project, marked it as Content and as Copy Always in the properties for that file. The XLS file I added to the project is from my user Apps folder in the Roaming sub folder. Other simple .TXT files are in my UserMy DocumentsData folder and each file is also maked as Content and Copy Always. When I create the setup package all goes well. I have a setup.exe and an .msi file. When I test it by installing it on my PC of course the program knows where the files are because it's my PC. In the program folder created as C:Program FilesMyProgram I find the .exe plus the XLS and TXT files, but these XLS and TXT files are not used from the program folder. How might I know if an installation made by another user on another PC elsewhere is going to load files in their user apps or user documents? I need to be sure that the additional data files deploy to the correct location (whatever I want that to be) on a remote PC.
I would like to make a simple functions for my program but I can't figure out what to do. I want the picturebox PBplayerbullet to be moved in the midle top of the picture box PBplayerim I know that if I use PBplayerbullet.location = PBplayerim.location will it to the top left part of the picture, but how it can be moved to the midle ?
I have made this installation program and everything work just fine, but I wish to improve it a little. Atm. all the files being installed is in a seperate folder, and the installation program simply move them to the right location.There is a builder program too.I would like it to add all files from a list to the programs resource.folder instead of a seperate folder.Atm I add the installation file to the destination folder with the following line. [code]
My application may be run by a number of different users and needs to be able to read and write to the same filles irrespective of what user is logged on to the PC.What is an acceptable location to store these files?i.e. a folder that has read/write permissions set as default.
I want define where my application and user settings files will be located.I would also like to rename them.For example my project will have a number of folders located inside the application folder when deployed.One of those folders is labelled "Cfg" and i want my application settings files to be saved in there.This is including the user settings, i dont want to localize the user settings file as is done automatically (at least not at this stage).
I have a collection of locations for a sales person, allowing them to send an item to multiple locations. I want to start reading at index 1 since I am using a collection. I saw an example where you can say something like "+ 1" (e.g. myitem.SelectedIndex + 1) to skip the first record. How can I skip the first record for the following:
Public ReadOnly Property Customer() As ICustomer Get Return CType(Me.CustomerList.Item(Me.CustomerNumSelected), ICustomer) End Get End Property
I tried to say Return CType(Me.CustomerList.Item(Me.CustomerNumSelected + 1), ICustomer) but it returns an error saying "string cannot be converted to a double". without the + 1 in there, I get an error that says "collection index must be in range 1 to size of collection".
My card program generates a text file AllCards.txt - I want to know when the first character in this file is identical to the 3rd, 5th, 7th, or 9th. In this case I would need A (1st char) checked against the 5 (3rd char), 5 (5th char), 7 (7th char) and 8 (9th char).
How can I move the mouse to different locations in another application. Currently, I used HDC and HWND to get my window's handle. (Also FindWindow). So, is it possible to like MouseMove(HDC, 5,5)?
I'm working on a little board game we play here in Jamaica just to see how it would look and as a sort of challenge for myself while on vacation. I'm however stuck on how to make my markers (PictureBoxes - two per player) move along the board.So heres my problem; I have 40 slots where the picturebox can be moved to (eg picturebox1.Top = 324, picturebox1.left=243). Now moving to these slots are determined by the roll of a pair of dice. How can I assign a variable preferably an integer for each slot so when the dice is rolled I can just do a little addition as to where the markers can be moved?
I am trying to create an install for my application that I have just created using visual basic express. I want to be able to tell it to put files in certain locations and create my own installer. For example I want to make a license page with a read me on the installer. From what I understand the clickonce technology is what comes with express editions and you cannot do it with them. Is there an alternative to being able to accomplish what I want to do without having to purchase the full version of visual studio?
