I am unsure if there is a simpler way to get substrings from objects other than strings but in any case, I created a quick function to trim any object type if converted to string. Normally the .Substring method is reserved for string. However, this simple workaround allows you to easily get substrings of doubles, integers,

substring and the indexOf method
I have this problem that I'm going in circles on. The error message is "no accessible IndexOf can be called with these arguments."
My professor said that "to search for the string Los Angeles and substring will return it from the textbox, but it needs to know what position to start returning a word at, and that is where the IndexOf comes in." Does that mean substring and IndexOf are used together? That's what I did and may be the problem. Here's the code:
Private Sub btnOrder_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnOrder.Click
'Declare variables
[Code]....
Consider the Statement:
Dim pstr As String
FileOpen(2, pfilepath, OpenMode.Input)
pstr = LineInput(2)
pstr = pstr.Substring(13, pstr.Length)
Label1.Text = pstr
FileClose(2)
And it is Giving me the following error:
Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length.
I've got a f(x) that returns a collection of user controls. .Net lets me just treat the f(x) name as the collection.

I'm trying to create a valid RegEx replacement pattern for correctly formatting specific .XML file names. Specifically, if a file name does not begin with a prefix, let's say, ACE_. If the XML file name and extension does not begin with ACE_, prepend the string ACE_ to the file name.For example, if my input source string is the following:
Widgets.xml
I would like to execute a single RegEx Replacement that would result in the string being:
ACE_Widgets.xml.
Conversely, if the string already begins with ACE_, I would like it to remain unchanged. Also,how can I include the pattern ".xml" to ensure that the string pattern for the file name and extension ends with ".xml" in the same matching pattern for the RegEx Replacement pattern? As for the match, I have some luck with the following:
^ACE_{1}[dD]+
Which indicates there is a match for the pattern if the input string is ACE_Widgets.xml and no match if the string is Widgets.xml
The RegEx pattern would suffice, but if you need to know the language in which I'd like to use the replacement pattern is in .NET 4.0 in either C# or VB.NET.
The following posting is close to what Im looking for, but with the inclusion of the *ix directory path prefix, and the use of preg_replace() in PHP, I'm having a bit of a struggle getting it to work with what I need to do:

How will I select a substring with 2 criteria? I have a Richtextbox where I select a number after a : with this code; For Each line As String In Richtextbox1.Lines Dim equalsPos As Integer = line.IndexOf(":") + 1 txtFound.AppendText(line.Substring(equalsPos, line.Length - equalsPos)) Next This is working ok, but the whole line.length is appended for number2. The line ex. Some text:my number some text-my number2. I want my number appended to txtFound, and my number2 appended to txtFound2. With my code only number2 can be appended correct.
View 4 RepliesI am working on a application that has quite a few functions involved and have been thinking of the following: If I have a function that has a few paramaters, is it more efficient to pass the objects to the function(Example 1) or reference the objects in the parent(Example 2)? Does it matter if the objects are large or not?
Example:
Class mainform
Public myGenericList As New List(Of String)
Public myDatarowArray() As DataRow

I call the function GetDataTable and when it gets to the return line, I get the error message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Dim DB As New DBConn
Dim gd As New DataAccess.GetData
Dim DT As New DataTable

Updated. I'll see if I can update with the DataAccess.GetData code. I didn't originally put it in there because our shop use it all the time and have no issues with it.
I am trying to remove VB6 type code and use VB.Net code, in particular, remove "Left" and use "Substring". This code does not do what the old style code does. It seams to ignore the first two chars and forces the msgbox prompt no matter what I type in the textbox (at "Leave").

Example:

Does the variable that receive the object still a pointer to the memory location that was used inside the function?What about when you do a oEmployee2=oEmployee.Is oEmployee2 just a pointer? And any changes to oEmployee will now affect the other. Just trying to understand it from a memory perspective and how that scope works?

This should be a fairly common question, but I haven't found a straightforward answer anywhere.
If I instantiate an object within a function in VB.NET and return it, does it return it be reference or by value. IE - should I be worried about performance if I write something like this:
Public Function ret_obj_func() As big_object
Dim ret_obj As New big_obj(<lots of stuff>)
Return ret_obj
End Function
If I call this function from somewhere else, will it instantiate the object in the ret_obj and then create a deep copy to pass back a copy to the caller, Or will it just pass back a reference?
How do you pass a control (say a textbox) to a function as a parameter in compiled assembly using CodeDom? I've tried passing through the args in the Invoke method but it doesn't work.[code]...
View 6 RepliesI'm needing to go through all the controls on a page, looking for a specific one. We've got a bunch of user controls, a masterpage, content panel, &c.
The basic idea is simple, but once I find the control I want, say five 'layers' in, the control is returned only one level.
I know I can do something cheesy like having a private variable and assigning the control to that down in the rabbit hole, but I figure there must be a more official method of doing this.[code]...

How can I create a function that returns an object of a certain type, which the user of the function specify in the argument (using vb.net 2010) ?

The code above doesn't work, but maybe it can explain what I want to achieve. Using this feature, I want to hydrate my data transfer objects from datatable. Client will just call this function, specifying which DTO the client wants, and this function will just create that DTO and populating the properties with reflection GetType.GetProperties().
Lets say I have function returns an object and that object has 10 properties. for example
myStudent.ID
myStudent.Name
myStudent.Surname

Datatable object within class function + garbage collection?

I have an object with a number of properties (let's say object.one, object.two, object.three). There are about 30 of these properties and they all hold a string ("Pass" or "Fail"). Right now the existing code checks whether the property has value "Pass" or "Fail" and then runs some code that prints stuff out. That is, the same snippet of code is duplicated 30 times, one for each of these properties.
The code looks something like this
If (object.one = ... )
...
End if
If (object.two = ... )
...
End if
If (object.three = ... )
...
End if
I want to use a loop to clean this mess up (each block is huge), but am not sure how to do it. I was thinking perhaps there was a way such that I might be able to construct a string like "object.one" and run some function that will tell the compiler that this is actually an object's property? That way I could create an array containing the object's name like my array = {"object.one", "object.two", "object.three"} and then do something like, in pseudocode
For each string in my array
If (some_function(string) = ...)
...
End If
Essentially, it would take those massive blocks of duplicated code and reduce it to just one block. Is there such a some_function that I am looking for? This is in VB.net.
