SelectedIndex On The Cmbactiveproj Is Blank When An Apostrophe Is Used ?
Aug 16, 2010
I have a form which has a combobox (cmbactiveproj) and a textbox (txtProjnameupdt). By selecting any value on the combobox the textbox changes accordingly. The user has an option to change the txtProjnameupdt.text and save.
Note: the text stored in txtProjnameupdt is part of the value in the combobox.Then I refresh the combobox by calling the datasource;
Me.QryactiveprojectsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.Projstatus.qryactiveprojects)
This reflects and changes that have been made i.e., the combobox gets refreshed.and the change made can be seen on the combobox, and selected by the code below.
cmbactiveproj.SelectedIndex = cmbactiveproj.FindStringExact(txtprojnameupdt.Text)
But when the user inserts an 'apostrophe' in the txtprojnameupdt.Text and save. It all works fine... But the selectedindex on the cmbactiveproj is BLANK.It ONLY happens when an apostrophe is used if I dont use an apostrophe it works fine..

I am using VB 2005 and MS Access 2007.Some of business name has apostrophe(') and I need to know how SQL deal with this name.For example
sqlStr = "SELECT * FROM AddressTable WHERE BusinessName=" & "'" & updateBName & "'"
in this case, if updateBName is "Den's Nail", the real SQL is
"SELECT * FROM AddressChangeTable WHERE BusinessName='Den's Nail'"
and this code generates Error Message.Is there any way to prevent error ?Or do I have to remove all apostrophe(') in Business Name?

I have a xml file that should contain a apostrophe in one of the nodes name. Now as far as I can see it can't be done but put a bit of light into this. So the node should look like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<name's>
...
</name's>
Now I'm sure that the xml is not correct, but how can I bypass this?

I have Visual Basic code going against a MS Access database. I am trying to create a Select query using parameters to filter records. One field is Location which is a loaded combo box. The user can select "Catering Hall" which is not a problem. But if they chose "Paddock's Restaurant" I get a syntax error. I tried putting a double apostrophe on either side of the query but that doesn't work.
[Code]...
how to get around this as the database record is "Paddock's Resaurant".

How do I query a DataTable where a value has an apostrophe in it? For example, my datatable has a lastname column and I want to search for the name "O'Bryan", how would I do it? With an SQL query I would just use a parameter & it would take care of the apostrophe automatically. Is there a way to use parameters with a DataTable?

In .NET 3.5, I have a Winform with a combobox in it. The datya comes from a DB2 mainframe DB. The problem is that we have a character that is not the real apostrophe. Pasted from Word I'd guess. But in our combobox, it is not diplayed correctly. It shows a question mark "?" instead.

I am having an issue with the SQLCommand query update handling apostrophes. I have a gridview that accepts edited text which might have apostrophes and other such accent characters.The UPDATE keeps throwing errors on the apostrophes in the text entered causing the SQL UPDATE to fail.
Here is the code:
Dim lbl1 As Label = GridView3.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).FindControl("Label1")
IDVal = lbl1.Text
[code].....

I have an html string that is dynamically created server side.
strHTML = "<td><a href""google.com"" onclick=""SaveToDatabase('" + arrString(0) + "','" + arrString(1) + "')""
The value of arrString(1) is javascript:OpenDoc('ProductManual.pdf','vbShowDoc')
Error Message: Expected ')'
How can I encode this value to save in the database, and decode it when retreving it from the database ?

I am having a problem trying to resolve an apostrophe related issue. I have searched SO,
My clientside javascript code is: var strUserText = uSettings.replace(/'/g, "'")
after the above line is executed, the form does a submit
document.form1.submit(); in code behind, a class retreives those values:
sUserSettings = request.form("strUserSettings ") the result is a semi-truncated string.Given the above code process flow, how can I save "John O'Brady's ASP Blog" in to a database?
I thought I was saving "John O'Brady's ASP Blog" but that isn't working.

Am just wondering if I'm doing something the long way round, so I thought I'd bounce it off the forum for opinion. I'm using the following code to write the contents of three text boxes into a table in an access database. [Code]
During testing I noticed that when an ' (apostrophe in words like can't) was used in the text boxes it would cause the app to halt. Figured that it was due to the ' being interpreted as a command so I could replace all of the ' in the text with a "unique" character before writing it to the database, so then when it is read back I could re-replace the "unique" character with the ' so the user sees what they have entered.
My question: is there a more efficient way of handling this ?

I just ran into what I consider a very strange issue in the execution of some code that I thought I had completely well-understood.
Basically, I was using this kind of notation:
If strOne.equals(strTwo) Then
rather than
If strOne = strTwo Then
I came from a c and java background, and using the '=' operator for comparison has always made me cringe, so I've used the .equals() comparison function thinking that it was equivalent. But just now some of my code broke. It encountered a string containing "Eagle's Nest: Dawn Patrol", used the .equals() to compare it to "Eagle's Nest: Dawn Patrol" and declared them not equal. I changed the code to use '=' rather than '.equals()' and it declared them equal. I also did this:
If strOne.Replace("'", "").Equals(strTwo.Replace("'", "")) Then
And again, it declared them equal.
This has me a little rattled because my code is filled with the use of .equals(), and I've used it assuming that it was no different than writing strOne = strTwo. I've scanned the interweb looking for information about this. I have not found any information about odd interactions between the apostrophe (or other) character(s) and .equals(). Microsoft's documentation does not hint at any subtle differences. how .equals() differs from '='

I am trying to filter fields in a table that contain percent (%) and apostrophe (') characters. I kow that to filter an apostrophe you need to add another apostrophe (''). However, when a text contains the percent (%) character in combination with an apostrophe (') character, an exception is thrown. Also, when using the % character in a filter string, it will be function as an "*" (fields starting or ending with). I need the % to be considered as a character whenever the % makes part of a string in the field. How can I address these issues? [code]

Cannot work out for the life of me how to match the apostrophe in a regex pattern in .net, seems to be different in .net than any other implementation of regex where you can just use '
Also tried matching "x27", "'" and "''" all with no success

why the rowfilter property does not work if there is an apostrophe in present in the string. For e.g. , tempdat.DefaultView.RowFilter = "Mystring = '" & st & "'" the above does not work if st="mystrings's" under the column header Mystring.

Incorrect syntax near 's'
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ".
query = "UPDATE dbo.TblProjects SET ProjectDesc ='" & _
txtProdesc.Text & "' where ProjectID='" & _

The data was being read from a Gridview which had the html encoding. The solution was the following...
Dim Sht_Text As String = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(row.Cells.Item(0).Text)
I am trying to prevent from having to escape apostrophes and other special characters in my string variables by using a parameterized query with an OleDbConnection. I have all of the parameters in the same order, the insert is working, it just does not maintain the characters. I keep getting those pesky html codes. I am trying to insert into an Access db from a web pages. As I mentioned, its working, just not the special characters.
Here's the code:
Dim pConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection pConn = New OleDbConnection(cb.ConnectionString)
Dim SqlString As String = "INSERT INTO Strings (Mlt_String_ID, Lng_ID, Strg_Name, Sht_Text, Lng_Text, Alt_Text) Values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)"
[code]....
jp and en records already existed, the insert of fr record pushes the html codes for the small circle which represents the degree symbol. Happens for all other special characters as well.

Is this possible? I programatically change the selected index when a certain event is fired using this code:
DropDownList.SelectedIndex = DropDownList.SelectedIndex + 1
Now I want to update a corresponding textbox with the text that is in the new SelectedIndex of the DropDownList via postback.What's the easiest way to do this?I know how I can do this in javascript.... I was just wondering if i could do this in the VB code behind.

My understanding is that if you set a ComboBoxes .SelectedIndex to -1, it should unselect any items in the ComboBox and show nothing in the ComboBox text. This is not happening. How can I get that to happen?I have 10 items in the Combobox. Let's say the index is set to number 5 and the text says "MasterCard". Now through code I want to set it to -1 and the text should show nothing. How can I do this?

I have a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn that I allow the user to add new items to by typing in the ComboBox and hitting the 'Enter' key. That triggers CellValidating and I do the adding there by the following:
cmbColumn.Items.Add(e.FormattedValue)
All this works well, except that it leaves the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn blank. How can I set the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn to display the e.FormattedValue?
