I'm converting a system of numerous programs from foxpro/foxweb/javascript to asp.net/vb/sql server.
I'm coding for a dropdownlist which is currently controlled via js.
I don't like using the control this particular way, but I want to maintain look and feel for the customer.
The control is initialized with some values via Page_Load() in behind code.[code]...

By my logic, this should only assign .length to index IF the length of strItem is longer than 0. This check is there in case the listbox is empty, or the user has not selected an item. However, everytime I go through this code without an item selected I get:

I have some code which gets child items for a menu via the GetChildren function which takes a list of menuData: Dim builtMenu As New List(Of MenuData)(_rawData.FindAll(Function(item) item.GroupingID = 0))
For Each menuData As MenuData In builtMenu
If menuData.Children IsNot Nothing Then
menuData.Children.AddRange(GetChildren(menuData))
End If
Next
If I check if menudata.children isnot nothing, it always is nothing because the GetChildren function is yet to run (providing the child items, which do exist). If I remove this check and just have this code:
Dim builtMenu As New List(Of MenuData)(_rawData.FindAll(Function(item) item.GroupingID = 0))
For Each menuData As MenuData In builtMenu
menuData.Children.AddRange(GetChildren(menuData))
Next
Then I am presented with a Object reference not set to an instance of an object error on menuData.Children.AddRange(GetChildren(menuData))
I have a class and method exposed to a client asp.net app. The class looks like
<DataContract()> _
Public Class Class1
Private v_string As String
Private v_integer As Integer
[code]....
The method is declared as
<OperationContract()> _
Function GetStuff(ByVal bar As Class1) As String
In the client code I create an instance of Class1 and set the values for v_string and v_integer, but using Wireshark to look at the xml being sent to the server only a value for v_string is being sent as part of Class1. I'm guessing this is because it considers the value of v_integer to be null/not set. Here is an example of the client code.
Dim MyService as New Service1.ServiceClient
Dim test as New Service1.Class1
test.P_integer = 1
[code]....
how different types are passed/used since Integer is a intergral type and String is a class, but can't seem to work out what to do to fix the problem.
am trying to get the following code to work:
Dim testString As String
testString = cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
when doing so the code is being stoped and I get "InvalidCastException" error emssage:
Conversion from string "yyyyMMdd" to type 'Integer' is not valid.
If I do the following, then it works:
Dim testDate As Date
Dim testString As String
testDate = cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue
testString = testDate.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
This, returns the desired value: "20110103"
NB:
cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue.ToString returns: "03/01/2011 00:00:00"
So would it be possible that the problem comes from of the "time bit" : "00:00:00"?if, so is it the parsetime function which would allow to take into account only the time bit value of the combobox?
I have a WPF application that uses a third-party library to perform a specific task; this library, in one of its methods, executes the statement Assembly.GetEntryAssembly(). If I run the WPF application on debug (by running a .Net exe for testing) the library works properly and Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() returns a reference to the assembly of the executable, but in production I have a different situation that causes me some problems.

I have the following code in my application. When it is executed it brings out a null value at times, where i am sure there should be a value returned. I have checked by running the sql statement in the database and it returns the correct value. What could be wrong with my code? [Code]
View 6 RepliesRather interesting bit on this one, I have all the code where it should be working but whenever it hits parse1 it returns the file as null. [code] I probably just need a fresh pair of eyes because I'm not seeing where this is glitching (...or if it's just my computer in this case.)Rather annoying at this point, tried break points and following the execution to catch the error but no such luck.
View 2 RepliesI have some VB.NET code that creates a TransactionScope instance:
LoggingUtility.LogDebug("UpdateCallTable", "SatComCallDataImporter", "About to associate call data with contracts")
Using ts = New TransactionScope()
LoggingUtility.LogDebug("UpdateCallTable", "SatComCallDataImporter", "Getting all unimported SatCom calls")
My application is throwing an exception on the call to the creation of a new TransactionScope, with "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". The exception isn't thrown on my development machine or my test machine; only on the customers production machine, and I have no idea why. I've placed debug lines immediately before and after this line so I'm positive it is this line causing the problem.
A have used TransactionScopes throughout the application and this is the only place throwing the exception on the client machine."About to associate call data with contracts" gets written to the log and the next log entry is the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
Code works fine if I move it out of a transaction.I've been struggling with this for 4 days now and have got no closer.
i hav two openfilefialogs(1 and 2). So i also have a listbox. the files opened with the openfiledialogs will be added to the listbox. and when i need to open the files i need to see if they are from which openfiledialog. so
it is like this.
Path.GetDirectoryName(OpenFileDialog1.FileName) & "" & Form3.ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString
'if this returns a null then go to this
Path.GetDirectoryName(OpenFileDialog2.FileName) & "" & Form3.ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString
Is their a more elegant way to assign a space to a value, if a database call returns null for a data set column? I am doing the following check which is pretty tedious:
If (ds.Tables("employee").Rows(0).Item("txtNamePrefix").IsDBNull(0)) Then
txtNamePrefix.Text = ""
Else
txtNamePrefix.Text = ds.Tables("employee").Rows(0).Item("txtNamePrefix")
End If
I have a DataGridView connected to a DataSet. I want to allow the user to update and insert new records on the RowLeave and CellLeave events. The Update method works:

I am basically trying to access the CLSID portion of the registry... some CLSIDs are working, some arent...
Here is my code:
Dim regkey As RegistryKey
regkey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("CLSID" & location & "InprocServer32", False) 'Just Returns null when im looking for a certain CLSID
Dim SubKeyvalues() As String = regkey.GetValueNames()
Dim subkeyvalue As String
subkeyvalue = regkey.GetValue(SubKeyvalues(0))
I'm trying to get data with the methods below and I get null response and can't figure out why. I'm just trying out a different way of using a wcf service from silverlight and I don't understand something that I should.[code]...
The employee object will stay null. If I put a break into the service call and follow through the code it finds the correct record from the database and the return statement shows an object with the correct data but still the employee object in silverlight side will remain null.
I have a several form elements that I am dynamically creating with javascript when a user changes a number value in a textbox, by filling the innerHTML of a div like so:
dfinnerhtml = dfinnerhtml + "<div class='field'> ";
dfinnerhtml = dfinnerhtml + "<textarea name='textbox1" + suffix + "' type='text' id='textbox1" + suffix + "' value='' rows='4' cols='20' class='field'></textarea> ";
dfinnerhtml = dfinnerhtml + "</div> ";
Then, in the aspx.vb code behind, when the user clicks the Save button, I run through a series of Requests to try and add the values that are in these form elements to a SQL string:
Dim DFTestValue1 As String DFTestValue1 = Request("textbox" & c.ToString)
where c is a loop counter to the # of textboxes created (the input value mentioned above that triggers the create) The problem here is that this code works in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox or Chrome. The Request() value returns null and nothing is saved. I hope I've explained this well enough.
I tried binding data to combobox at the runtime in the form load event. I had written the following bind function,
Private Sub BindComboBox()
Dim da As SqlDataAdapter
Dim conn As SqlConnection
Dim ds As DataSet = Nothing

The problem is cboSubject.SelectedText is returning empty string.
I have a vb.net app that I can read a .xls file into a dataset or loop through as oledbdatareader and it gives the same result.Some of the rows have all nulls when I loop through them but if I open the same file in Microsoft Excel I can see that row fine.[code]From the info above the first two SKU values would come through fine but when I get to the 3rd row it would show a null.Is it possible that it kind of inherits the first rows type and since the 3rd row isn't all numeric if nulls it? [code]
View 1 RepliesI have a select statement which was returning the required values but when I changed the OS date from English(US) to English(UK), it now returns null. I believe the problem is concerned with date since in the query am selecting values where the date from the database is the same as the date in a combobox but I don't know what else I can do. It almost looks like the dates in the combox and in the database are not the same and yet the date in the combobox is actually retrieved from the database and has been returning values fine until I changed the system date format.Here's my select command:
cmd4.CommandText = _
"SELECT sum(brought_qtty), recieved_qtty from brought_coffee, centre_weigh where brought_date=#" & _
dtComb.Text.Trim & "#" & _[code].......
So for instance I have this method: LoadFunkyInfo(byval funkyData as string) And I pass it something like this:
LoadFunkyInfo(giantTable.Rows.Item(0).Item("blahName")). Should I do this instead?
dim foo as string = giantTable.Rows.Item(0).Item("blahName")
LoadFunkyInfo(foo)
I read somewhere long ago, that it's better to assign the method to a variable and pass that variable to a method, as opposed to passing the method as a parameter. Is that still true? Or true at all?
Iam using this method to seach in xml file but it returns search by first word for example i have a name [url] and i write in seach box word "forum" then it will not return any result but if i write "vb" then it will return the result how to solve this problem code is here

I am using vb.net sqlite.net and dblinq0.20.1 to search a sqlite table on a primary key field.My code looks like this
Dim blb = (From d In db.Data Where d.UID = myuid Select d).Single
This returns the error "Coalesce used with type that cannot be null" .If I search on a nullable field it works fine.
I am making use of a 3rd party dll and am encountering some strange behavior in VB, which doesn't occur in C# Perhaps someone can explain what is going on. Anyhow, I am making use of a method in this 3rd party library which accepts an array parameter ByRef. The end result is the variable should remain null after the method call, but it is returning initialized for some reason.

just found out that replace(string does not do the same as string.replace when my string variable was an empty str the first one returns "nothing" and the second returns an empty string (as expected).just sloppy coding anyhow, it was a function that was converted from classic asp and never rewritten properly.

View 1 RepliesIs there any sense to set custom object to null(Nothing in VB.NET) in the Dispose() method?Could this prevent memory leaks or it's useless?!Let's consider two examples:

public Foo(Bar bar) {

Take the below example. I would expect the IsInterned method to return null, because this string can't possibly be in the intern pool having started up the test app for the first time? I would also expect, that if I did something like string.intern("this112233StringCan'tPossiblyBeInTheInternPool!£$%") first, then this would legitimately be returned by IsInterned from the pool. I've also done the same in c# and the behaviour is the same.
Whenever I use strings in code, I tend to do something like textbox.text = string.intern("someValue") etc or if (textbox.text = "someValue") etc. Infact, whever strings are being used, I've gotten in to the habbit of using string.intern. Is this a bad habbit rather than using constants or the resources file?

I have nine pictures that I need to animate -I need to use the ToString method and a counter to concatenate a file name into a string variable from the Image.FromFile method. Once the counter reaches its maximum value, and the last picture is displayed, the counter should be reset to zero or one depending on how the first image file has been name. Also a static counter variable should be incremented in the time routine. what I have so far -- I know what I have to do; however, I just do not know how to code this properly.. Right now I have this going thru a button procedure but it needs to go through a timer.
