I want to bitwise turn off the left most bit of a Short value (&H8000) and leave the other bits as they are.
Dim x = BitConverter.GetBytes(Short.MaxValue Or &H8000)
Dim z = BitConverter.ToInt16(x, 0)
Isn't there any shorter way with bitwise operators?
When I do
Dim a = Short.MaxValue Or &H8000
I get a compiler error, cuz it goes up, instead of negating it.
I want to just get the leftmost characters from a string. Something that should be very simple...and yet!
Here is an example:
Code:
Dim strA As String = Now.ToString
strA = Strings.Left(strA, Len(strA - 1))
Why does this return an error: "Conversion from string to double is not valid."
My current code: Server: Imports System.IO Imports System.Text Imports System.Threading

Right now I can add background music in my program by using this code
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Music_3, AudioPlayMode.Background)
I can also turn it off and change the music by using this code
My.Computer.Audio.Stop()
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Another_Music, AudioPlayMode.BackgroundLoop)
Is it possible to pause the music then if I resume the music it will just continue the flow? I mean if I pause the background music in 33 seconds and the music has 50 seconds and I resume it will just continue playing in 33,34,35 etc.. seconds?
I was wondering if their was a way to for me to turn off events and then turn them back on in my program or just queue them up until i am ready for them to be excuted. Kinda like how a OS turns on and off interupts. Is this one of those general programming no-nos?

View 1 RepliesI have a date field in my Access database that I want to display in a textbox with a colored back color. This is VB.NET 2008. A datetimepicker has a format property (short) but the datetimepicker does not allow the color I want. No problem, it's just for display so I'll use a textbox. But the textbox shows the date and time. How can I get rid of the time in the textbox and just have the date? The field in the Access table is Date/Time with a format of Short. I think Access always stores the time.

We had a Nullable object must have a value error today on this line of code:list = From x In Me Where x.FooDate.HasValue AndAlso x.FooDate.Value.Date >= barDate
Funny thing is that I feel sure this used to work fine (and there has always been a sprinkling of null values in the underlying data). And logically it looks fine to me. The check for HasValue and the AndAlso look as if they're going to shield us from any Null danger.But it seems suddenly they're not. Am I missing something?OK, we can correct it to this, which eliminates the error:
list = From x In Me Where If(x.FooDate.HasValue, x.FooDate.Value.Date >= barDate,False)
But this looks to me less readable. In simplifying the above code to shorten the line I left out a crucial chunk of the code. The original problem should have read something like:
list = From x In Me Where x.FooDate.HasValue AndAlso x.FooDate.Value.Date >= fromDate And x.FooDate.Value.Date <= toDate
Because of the rules of shortcircuiting and operator precedence (as outlined in an answer to a long ago question of my own) I needed to add brackets round the second part of the instruction in order to stop LINQ evaluating the second x.FooDate.Value.Date:
list = From x In Me Where x.FooDate.HasValue AndAlso (x.FooDate.Value.Date >= fromDate and x.FooDate.Value.Date <= toDate) LINQ really does obey AndAlso and force me to look more closely at the original problem.

I'm building a new web app that has a requirement to generate an internal short URL to be used in the future for users to easily get back to a specific page which has a very long URL. My initial thoughts are to store a number in a database and output it in a HEXADECIMAL value to keep it shorter than an integer. TinyURL.com seems to use something other than HEXADECIMAL (multiple case letters mixed with numbers)
