Storing In Variables Versus Calling From Database?
Dec 29, 2009
I am developing an application where I need to make use of multiple values during the run time. These values are configuration setting of the application as specified by user and are stored in a database (more than 50 in number containing strings/boolean and numeric). I have defined a structure to contain all the variables that will store this information. At start of app, I retrieve all values from database and fill the structure which i can use when required. I am wondering if it is a good idea to declare too much of variables and keep them alive during the run-time as compared to retrieving the values from database every time it is required?

I have code, shown below, that works all except for 1 thing: The variables being passed byRef get passed, but once modified in the else section of the "if me.invokerequired" code of RecordData, the variables are never updated in the calling function. To reiterate, the calling function does not receive the updated data that is in the variables custid and amt.When debugging, I see the data change in the else section of "if me.invokerequired", but once it returns from the callback the data is missing.[code]

I was a VB6 programmer. And back in the day global variables, functions and subroutines were put in a module. The program started in the module using a sub named Main(). Now in vb2010 it looks like using sub Main() is possible only for console apps, which is not what I want, I'm still trying to write a windows app but it looks like everything has to go at the top of the starting form?? How is this good coding practice? Shouldn't public vars and functions be in their own module?What is considered best practice?Are there any links that would walk me through the differences between vb6 and vb2010?

In a program I've been working on I would like to start a process and save it in a variable of type Process. This is so I can kill it later, if needed, and change the window type.

I have been tasked to create an application, for which the requirements may change over time.This application will be a data entry Windows application,of which multiple copies will be running.All data will be written to text (.CSV) files for validation before being uploaded to a remote mainframe system (iSeries).My application needs to store certain variable information in an external text (or XML) file; for example, the file path to shared resources (which may change over time),as well as the specific data fields required by the mainframe system.
My questionsare these: what is considered the best practice for accomplishing such a task, and how would I accomplish it?I am completely new to XML, so I don't even know where to begin, although I am sure that XML is the path to follow for what I am trying to accomplish.

SI have a form and on submit I need the following variables stored in array.
Dim OrderName, OrderNumber, OrderSize, OrderQuantity, OrderAddOn, OrderEachPrice, OrderTotal As String
So pretty much its an order a customer will be making and every time a new order is placed, a new array will be made.
Example:
OrderName = TextBox1.Text was Sean
OrderNumber = TextBox2.Text was 123456
OrderSize = TextBox3.Text was Large
OrderQuantity = TextBox4.Text was 2
OrderAddOn = TextBox5.Text was Pocket
OrderEachPrice = TextBox6.Text was 10
OrderTotal = TextBox7.Text was 20.00
On submit a new array would be created and would be something like this:
Dim ArrayName(,) As String = {{"Sean", "123456", "Large", "2", "Pocket", "10", "20.00"}}
BUT a new array has to be created each time the submit is clicked.

Is there a way to set session variables during login that are then available to reports? We have a reporting services server where we move and denormalize data from our transaction system for reporting purposes. In order to allow our users to login with the same user name and password from the transactional system we have set up custom forms authentication and after much trial and error it is finally working. In addition we have the authorization accessing our transactional system so that any changes in user authority is immediately reflected in Reporting Services.
Our problem now is that we would like to add some additional features such as locking down parameters depending on user authority/groups in our transactional system. We have found a way to do it but it's inefficient, basically we have stored procedures that will query our transactional system to check for access. The problem is that these queries will often be run for every report request even though the answer is unlikely to change. It would be nice to have access to session level data that can be set once during log in and then accessed from the reports.

I have this string
mainString="/MyApp/ViewPage.aspx?userId=admin&password=1&id=975"
I am getting value in mainString using this code
Dim mainString As String = Request.QueryString("dest")

1)strTempUsername
2)strTempPassword
In these variables I want to store userId and password values from mainString.
So for this requirement how I write logic in code
Dim arrArray() As String
'/MyApp/ViewPage.aspx?userId=admin&password=1&id=975"
strIndexq = mainString.IndexOf("?") ' Check QuestionMark Exist or not in mainString
If strIndexq > 0 Then
Dim strTemp As String
[Code] .....
Here I am getting userId and password but in this code I will get problem when after ? if userId and password starts wit capital letters and password maybe contain characters like "1&a"
And after getting userid and password. I want to remove userid and password from mainstring. So I want mainstring look like:

I have a vb .net ArrayList that I would like to store in one field on my Ms SQL 2008 database. Is it possible to put it in and get it back out as an ArrayList? I'm guessing i need to break down the Array some how and store it as a string, then rebuild it when reading back as i dont see any datatypes for sql that are for arrays. Which is a bummer for me! edit - The ArrayList stores a set of quote ID's. There is no limit to how big it is so it could hold 1 or 1001 different ID's

I am in front of a great dilemma whether to store files in Database or doing it the standard way. I would choose the second option, but my application will be used by multiple users, so I am doing it by Web Services.
On the one hand, storing in database will be very useful as every user would have access to everything very fast, not caring about file paths, locations and so on.
On the other hand, if this table consists of 1000 files, wouldn't it be a bad idea as there should be some performance loss?
At the present moment, I am using mysql as database, but I am thinking of moving to SQL Server, but I suppose this is not DB Issue.

I have my form set in french as well, and it automatically changes the text format to use ','. However When I try to insert my values into the database it says cannot convert nvarchar to decimal? Worst case, Is there a way I can disable the numbers from changing to use ',' and just use '.' always regardless what language it is? My working language is vb.net?

I've created a rich text box which stored the "textBox.Text" value in an SDF database. The storing works, but the formatting seems to be lost. Is this something that SDF databases can't handle? Do I need to store in binary or something? Not sure how to do that either.I'm using Visual Basic Express Edition with Winforms and writing in VisualBasic.NET btw This is how I store to the database:
Private Sub btnToolStripSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnToolStripSave.Click
Try
Me.Validate()
Me.SangerBindingSource.EndEdit()
[code]....
And this is how I insert the text in to the rich textbox
txtBoxText.SelectionFont = New Font("Verdana", 16, FontStyle.Bold)
txtBoxText.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.RoyalBlue
