View 2 RepliesWe decided to use the registry for handling our deployment with connection strings in our VB.net application.
The requirements are:
If the program cannot connect to the server, first check the registry for a connection string. IF not, create the folder and fill in the name, type, and data. Make sure its encrypted.
I have never edited or created anything in the registry.
I'm rewriting a legacy application in .NET. In the earlier version, I used a few control .INI files that could be edited by the advanced user to provide variation in certain program options. (The program also permitted override of these same variabes via menus and such.) I used the API functions to read the .INI files and rewrite them to alter the user's environment for subsequent runs.

The only "major" project I have completed using VB is a computer calculator that exactly mimics the capabilities of Windows 7's calculator. Yesterday, I began a Chatbot program for my girlfriend. Lol. I have used the instr() function to answer most of the questions or answers which are typed into the textbox1. I find this extremely troublesome because when using the instr() function you cannot say instr(textbox1.

I am trying to retrieve a 'tag'(Is it called that?) from an XML webpage. Once I make a post request from my vb.net app it sends a command to my online webserver and redirects me to a page that has entries that change each time. The page that im redirected to that changes each time looks something like this:
<mainpage> <id>hello</id> <random>176</random> </mainpage>
What vb.net code would I use to retrieve the id (In this case 'hello') and store it in a variable.
i'm working on a code that i want to start creating new classes with but i want to know if there's a more direct way to send the variables used in the form to a new class for storage.

Dim ClassName As String
Dim Grade As String
[Code]....
you know? so what would be my most direct route to get this? how should i start?

View 12 RepliesI have 13 variables, all called Items1, Items2, Items3 and so on. I have a combo box with items in, each time I click a button I want it so whatever is selected is stored in a variable and if the button is selected again then it stores whatever is selected in the next variable. I know all the code for selecting items in a combo box and transferring it to a variable but the problem I cannot do is the part where each time a button is clicked it stores whatever is selected in the combo box to the next variable.
View 9 RepliesI am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a backup program for personal (for the moment at least) use.
For some directories (network directories / protected directories) credentials are needed to access them.
I can setup different jobs in the program to run at specific times.

I have a done the following steps:
1. I took a decimal point number, suppose 192.123456
2. Then removed the decimal point
3. Concatenated the L.H.S and R.H.S and stored it in a string
4. The string that I got was 192132456
Problem: Now I want that the I should be able to reverse the string such that the string should become 5624132901. I have tried using the arrays but it gives me an error when I try storing a string into an array. I am pasting the code below:

I'm obtaining data from a StreamReader.My StreamReader is called "reader" and I'm reading the stream with "responseOutput" like this "responseOutput = reader.ReadToEnd()" And in that bunch of text that I receive I want to FIND and EXTRACT a piece of text and then STORE that extraction in a variable of String type.Here is part of the code I'm referring to:

I have a listbox where the user can add items to it with the following schema "count, id".I want to take each item from the listbox,use the split function so I can "take" only the "count," part and then add the "count," part of each item into a string.I mean I want something like this:
user adds 3 items in the listbox:
1, 100
2, 200 and
3, 300.
I want to make it,so a string can be formed, and contain the "count," part of each item which in this case is;
in the first item the "count," part is "1,",in the second item the "count," part is "2," and in the third it's "3,".I want those "count," parts to be stored into a string (which will result into having this string "1,2,3,").
