I'm facing a problem that Google couldn't solve yet!I'm trying to store URLs in an XML file. Problem is that these URLs contain Equal Signs (=) in them. And that generates an error.Here is my code: (**token is a variable that contains the URL)
Dim child As String = vbCrLf & "<Link URL='" & token & "'></Link>"
Dim fragment As XmlDocumentFragment = doc.CreateDocumentFragment
fragment.InnerXml = child

I have this database with a table which has the the following but I have no way to decypher it
DATA, TYPE, FILE TYPE, SIZE, DOC TYPE
0x15234324 , Word.Document.8 ,DOC, 19968, WORD.DOCUMENT.8
The field seems to contain a word document stored in a SQL Server IMAGE column
Has anyone come across this before or a way to extract this data in a readable format?
So far I have tried using PHP to extract the file and write it to a word document but not had much luck.
UPDATE: I now have Visual Studio Express and would like a way to extract this data and save to a word document
UPDATE2: This is what I have in VB sofar
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.IO

In the following LINQ query, i would like when the Loc=Locale.Gr all the records with GrID=100 returned and when the Loc is anything else all the other records with GrID <> 100 returned.How can i achieve this one? I tried something like the following, but it is totally wrong.
PrivateSub Test(Byval Loc as Locale)
Private Const GrID as integer = 100
Dim Query = From c In Mob Where c.CountryID = IIf(Loc = Locale.Gr, GrID, <> GrID) select c

I've been asked to get the page counts for documents stored as tif files. What I have now is looping through our third party software to open them and then get the page count. I can't stop the image from flashing and it is very slow. Does anyone know of a way to loop through them quickly and can the page counts (one image can have many documents)?

View 3 RepliesI'm usually a LAMP developer, but some .NET work has arrived. If I run the following code:
<% poundsign = "£" %>
<% Response.Write poundsign %>
<% Response.Write "£" %>
Nothing is displayed. However, outside of the <% %> tags (i.e., in the HTML) £ displays correctly. I have no trouble displaying the usual alphanumerics, it's just the £ sign that is proving problematic. The underlying file is in Windows 1252 encoding, and I need to serve it as such. If I save the file as UTF-8, I get mojibake instead of a £. What I can do to make this work, or any settings that might be preventing it from working (other than saving the file in a different format)?
Aside from the fact that my £s aren't appearing on the page, a major part of my problem is that I need to insert strings containing £ into a SQL server database, but if I form a SQL INSERT statement within the ASP, none of the £ signs end up appearing in the database. Inserting £ signs into the database from ASP isn't a problem when I save the .asp files as UTF-8 files, but I need everything to work in Windows 1252 encoding.
No matter what I try, it never matches the sign. I even tried using the string as the pattern. This function should be able to take a string like 1 day -36mins + 2s -1s and parse it into a TimeSpan object. Any pointers?

I need to write a program that uses constants to establish the base pay, the quota, and the commission rate. The Pay menu item calculates and displays the commission and the total pay for that person. However, if there is no commission, do not display the commission amount (do not display a zero-commission amount).Write a function procedure to calculate the commission. The function must compare sales to the quota. when the sales are equal to or greater than the quota, calculate the commission by multiplying sales by the commission rate. Format the dollar amounts to two decimal places; do not display a dollar sign.The summary menu item displays a message box that holds total sales,total commission,and total pay for all salesperson. Display the number with two decimal places and dollar signs. the Clear menu item clears the name, sales, and pay for the current employee and then resets the focus.The Color and Font menu items should change the color and font of the information displayed in the total pay text box.Use a message box to display the program name and your name as programmer for the about option on the Help menu.

So the issue is when I push the pay/calculate button everything is calculating correctly the first time, but then when I push clear to input another workers name and weekly sales and push calculate, my label is blank and does not display any info about the second worker. Then when I push summary after inputting the second worker, it's only displaying the total calculations of the first worker. I can't seem to figure out this problem on my own (After countless hours staring at my code I might add!), so I am hoping somebody can pinpoint what I have done wrong?

How to use the signs "+", "-", "*", "/" as label text randomly. I am trying to create a math game for my kids. There I need a random sign to display every time they get new question to solve. I am able to display values [random numbers] but could not able to use this signs randomly as a single label text.
View 8 Repliesi want the user to login, and the first thing is, having the text document for that(if theres a safer way to do it, let me know) then it goes to the weekly sales page, but theres also the goals for the sales, which rarely change, but if they do i would like them to be able to change them, then next page is the list of the workers, and if they need to i would like them to be able to add workers. so my question is: is there anyway that maybe i could save both the goals, and the workers in the text document, and when they need to change it/add workers it will save it in the text document and the next time they sign in the changes will be permanent? also is there a way to delete the user once they have been created, other than going into the txt document and deleting it.

View 2 RepliesYesterday I asked why a adding 10 times 0.10 to a double is not equal to int 1;in VB Why (1 = 1) is False.I got an excellent answer. The overview is because:Floating point types and integer types cannot be compared directly, as their binary representations are different.The result of adding 0.1 ten times as a floating point type may well be a value that is close to 1, but not exactly.I can see the reason why now. However, if I do something like:[code]In this case I really obtain equality between double 1.0 and int 1. I thought then that double were only approximations so I would expect d to be somehow a value close to 1 as in the original first question. Why is not a good idea to compare directly different data types (in this case double - integer) and why I this time I obtain equality ??

I'm a little foggy on System.Type versus an actual class type (like Object or XmlDocument) in .NET... will this code correctly determine if the type of a particular object is equal to a class I specify?
// Given "myObject" (unknown type), and some class type (let's say "MyClass")...
If myObject.GetType.Equals(MyClass)
If TypeOf(myObject) Is MyClass[code].....
Which one is correct? Bonus points if you can provide some information on what a class identifier is versus what a System.Type is. :)
Note: The language doesn't matter here, VB.NET or C# is fine, the code above is pseudocode.
