Storing Conditional (Logical Structures) In XML
Jan 20, 2009
I have the need to express simple conditionals as program input. The input must be human readable. Is XML suited for this? For example, I have the following conditional statement:
If AnimalType = Leopard And (SourceCountry = Kenya Or TargetCountry = Kenya) Then
ZooKeeper=Jack
Else
ZooKeeper=Jill
End If
Expressing the above in XML might look something like this:
<If>
<Conditional>
<And>
<AnimalType>Leopard<AnimalType>
[Code] .....
How best to represent conditional statements in XML? I haven't yet explored using attributes. I don't currently have the need for nested 'If' statements or the 'Else If' clause, but I'm going to try and work them in anyway. Perhaps the VB code is more 'readable' than XML can be in this case and I should create a custom flat-file format instead.

I have a structure called 'Scheme' and in my program I want (ideally) an ArrayList of 'Schemes' (so i can add, remove schemes etc.). However, within the 'Scheme' structure, I want to have an ArrayList of 'Item''Item' is another structure. Are there any solutions out there for iterating through these arrays quite easily?
How can I easily add multiple Items to a Scheme and mutliple Schemes to my Scheme array. Code is below. When I try to add Items to a Scheme, I get the 'Object not set to a reference of an object, try the 'New' keyword', but you cannot declare 'New' keywork within a structure.

I read in the Book "Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic 2008" about "User-Defined data types".The example given is creating a Structure as follows.I wanted to check that so I wrote all the code given; I used a TextBox and a Button for this.(I didn't include the "CheckDate" here; that is in the book)
Structure CheckRecord
Dim CheckNumber As Integer
[code]....
The problem is this does work.What I get is "00000". and I found out that the "Checks(4)" Array does hold any value ie: on keeping the cursor over that, it shows "CheckAmount 0.0, CheckNumber 0 , CheckPaidTo Nothing ".

Did anyone else read this article under Visual Basic News? I thought it was a very bad treatment of the subject. I especially don't like articles like that when the code they post relies on Option Strict Off.

Sorting arrays are useful when you want to get the first/last/min/max logical item of a list. I.E. A list that contains numbers and you want to find the Min/Max (without LINQ), you can sort the list and pull the first/last element. It's also useful to display lists to the user in alphabetical order.

According to MSDN The And operator can act as a bitwise operator OR a logical operator.The only way to know if it is used as One operator or another is, If it is on the right side of an assignment operation? for example x = 3 AND 5. I cannot find any other instances where the bitwise operator would be used instead of the logical operator, are there?

I need to test a logical expression held in a string to see if it evaluate to TRUE or FALSE.(the strig is built dynamically)For example the resulting string may contain "'dog'<'cat' OR (1>4 AND 4<6)". There are no variables in the string, it will logically evaluate. It will only contain simple operators = > < >< >= <= and AND , OR and Open and Close Brackets, string constants and numbers. (converted to correct syntax && || etc.)
I currently acheive this by creating a jscipt function and compiling it into a .dll. I then reference the .dll in my VB.NET project.
class ExpressionEvaluator
{
function Evaluate(Expression : String)
{
return eval(Expression);
}
}
Is there a simpler method using built in .NET functions or Lamdba expressions.

I've seen the operator Max used two different ways. The following two queries produce the same results. The MSIL code is slightly different. What is the benefit of using the Aggregate operator? Logically, is there a difference?

Can I set up a change in the font color when a certain true value comes up with a logical test - e.g. If the "value_if_true" says STOP, can I have the STOP show up in a red font and if the "value_if_false" says OK, then leave it as a black font?

I'm attempting to create a list of structures that contains a list of structures. I can't seem to figure out how to properly allocate the object for the inner list of structures. I expect the outer list of structures to have a couple thousand entries and the inner list of structures to be fairly small at 2 to 10. Both lists will grow over time but the number of elements within the inner list will be constant for an instance of the outer list. Meaning, if an instance of the outer list has 2000 entries each of those will have the same number of elements on the inner list, say 4 entries.
Here is a simplified code fragment. This fragment makes no attempt to create the instance of the inner list "StructBlist" since I can't figure out where to put it. Tried "New List(Of StructB)" in the declaration as well as "Alist(0).StructBlist = New List(Of StructB)" but neither works.

Dim FieldA1 As Integer

I found using AndAlso/OrElse, all the time, VERY annoying. It reduces code readability, especially when conditioning get complicated.

I have some reports that I use with the MS ReportViewer and I need to get a count of the physical pages (as opposed to logical page count) to use with a print dialog. I've implemented a workaround so the ReportViewer control displays the correct number of physical pages, but is there a way to get that value from the ReportViewer control? The only publicly accessible property gives the logical page count.

In this query against a datatable i'm trying to do some conditional filtering.The check against Timeband(index N) should only be done when the Index exists. (the base code only had three item fields, i've converted them to a simple list)
Dim res As DataTable =
(
From dr As DataRow In dtTimedRow.AsEnumerable()
Select dr
[code]....
The above code triggers an Exception if the count = 1. It executes the code next to imeBands.Count > 1 which it should not. What would be the correct solution for this code.In the mean time i've added a simple filter function.

I have two combo boxes: cboRepairCategory (plumbing, landscaping, etc) and cboVendors. I am using Stored Procedures in SQL to store the data from my database and then load them into the combo boxes.The cboRepairCategory will be loaded first. Once the user has selected what type of repair it is I want it to restrict the amount of vendors that can be selected, so instead of saying:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.up_Fill_Vendor_Combo
AS
SELECT VendorID, CompanyName
FROM Vendors
[code].....
I would select only the vendors that have the RepairType of say Landscaping, so thecboVendor would load now only Vendors with Landscaping instead of all vendors.My question is this: Is this done in SQL in my Stored Procedure or is it done in VB in my functions for my combo boxes. I've never tried this before I am totally lost on it. I have fiddled with the code on both ends but to no avail.
