Since the string class does not have a Left method, how would you do this in VB.Net. I could use String.SubString(0, x), but the problem with this method is that it throws an exception if the String is not at least x characters long. Should I use the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left function instead?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to do string manipulation of an OpenID in my codebehind. For example, if the user enters " url...I want to do the following:
1. Remove the http:// or https:// if it exists
2. Remove the "/" at the end of the OpenID if it exists
So that all would be returned is url...I have used the Right, Mid and Left functions before with a string that contained spaces but I'm not sure how to accomplish what I'm trying to do here.
As a non .net programmer I'm looking for the .net equivalent of the old vb function left(string, length). It was lazy in that it worked for any length string. As expected, left("foobar", 3) = "foo" while, most helpfully, left("f", 3) = "f".
In .net string.Substring(index, length) throws exceptions for everything out of range. In Java I always had the Apache-Commons lang.StringUtils handy. In Google I don't get very far searching for string functions.
Edit:@Noldorin - My first encounter, although it took me several seconds to do the same in c#:
[Code]...
Note the static class and method as well as the this keyword. Yes, they are as simple to invoke as "foobar".Left(3). See also c# extensions on msdn.
For years I never had trouble with this String. Format function until today when I got a value longer than 0 characters and the function returned all the characters in the string instead of just ten. Now sometimes I get less than ten characters so I can't use the substring with out getting an error. I can try the left function but I was hoping there was a solution with the Format function.

View 3 RepliesI have a very small VS 2010 app that basically reads the records of a text file, adds some additional information to the end of the record read, and writes the new record to a new text file.The issue Im having is with the Left() function.I need to take all chars left of position 10 of a text box and add it to the end of the new record before I write it. When I use the Left() the "Error List shows an error related to this function.The error says:Public Property Left As Integer has no parameters and its return type cant be indexed.It gives two solutions: 1) Generate Method Stub Left in Project1.Form1 and 2) Generate Property Stub Left in Project1.Form1 When I select solution
1) that creates a warning indicating: Function Left conflicts with property Left in the base class Control and should be declared Shadows. When I select solution
2) that creates a warning indicating: Property Left shadows an overloadable member declared in the base class 'Control. If you want to overload the base method, this method must be declared 'Overloads.

I'm trying to develop macros for games. I'm currently coding with vb 2010 and I'm using the keybd_event API. It works great, I've done many working macros but I cannot find a way to send arrow strokes using this API. (Left, Right, Up, Down) I don't want to use the numpad. Here is what I've found: [Code] For some reason, nothing happens, no keystroke seems to have been sent. When I use any other ascii decimal from the ascii table, it does work but not for the arrow strokes.
View 2 RepliesBeen digging around on the net, but struggling to find a decent example. Essentially, I want to take a string, and take the Left most character, (the first character of the string) and change it to upper case.
Back in VB6 days, it was Left(somestring, 1) to equal some variable, then convert it to Uppercase.
I have a lot of really long strings that I want to test. Is it possible to use the CASE statement and compare it to the first 25 characters of the string to get a match?

View 4 RepliesI have an app that takes your full name: First Middle(If any) and Last and converts it to UserInitials String. If the name doesn't have a middle name, "X" should be displayed for the Middle Name.
Example name: First Middle Last = FML;
Example name: First Last = FXL
Obviously, if there is only ONE space present, there is no middle name. I'm having issues calling InStrRev to count from the right to the left.
Ex: InStrRev(Name_Input, " ")

Some programs implement command parameters, Like my favourite computer game - Crysis - has them and windows media player has them.But how could i implement them in VB.NET..I want to have a component of my program built as a seperate exe - so it can be an Optional component.But of course the seperate exe, on load, needs data passing to it.So i need something like Process.start("Componentname.exe", "/StartDL <Suchandsuchastring>)/StartDL will need to call a function, and the string that it uses will be given to the function to initiate a download?

I got a panel that i am adding labels to.

Is this even possible? Same thing with UP.
Or is the Scroll only limited to Bottom and Right?

The following output produces a string with no closing xml tag. m_rFlight.Layout = m_rFlight.Layout + "<G3Grid:Spots>" + Me.gvwSpots.LayoutToString() + "</G3Grid:Spots>"
This following code works correctly
m_rFlight.Layout = m_rFlight.Layout + "<G3Grid:Spots>" + Me.gvwSpots.LayoutToString()
m_rFlight.Layout = m_rFlight.Layout + "</G3Grid:Spots>" 'add closing tag
What's going on here, what's the reason the first example isnt working and the second is?
The gvwSpots.LayoutToString() function returns a string.
