Using String Contents As A Variable?
Nov 12, 2010
My current issue which I've been stumped on is incrementing variable names in a string.
Without reading my actual situation, I need to know if you there is a way to do the following:
Code
'Label1 is a label that exists in a userform and this code is entered into the UserForm_Initialize()
Dim X as String
[Code]....
The reason for my label1 example above is I believe that using my current methodology- if there is a way to convert a string contents to a variable name, it should do the trick.

I had a look through this forum and other forums but couldn't find what I was looking for. I am new to visual basic and have spent all day trying to find the solution to the following issue.I am creating objects from a class that store information about the user of the program. Each time a user signs up the program, I need the code to create a new instance of the class, creating an object and storing information about that user. The contents of this object will then be saved into a text file.

I have method that I execute many times.In this method I have the following AddHandler.
AddHandler mi.Click, AddressOf Context_SortDescending
I would like to replace "Context_SortDescending" with a variable that has the value "Context_SortDescending".I tried using:
Dim methodName as String = "Context_SortDescending"
AddHandler mi.Click, AddressOf methodName
This received an error (AddressOf operand must be the name of a method).

I have a structure named StudentData, it consists of a studentname, an array of testscoresand the student average. There is also an array of structure objects for a total of 6 students. I have the header, column heads, the student names and the averages printing when I click the print page event. I have tried multiple ways of setting this up to get the test scores to print, these are the structure array variables. When I put in the code to process the arrays testscores, I receive a run time error that I don't understand

While working with an excel file (.xlsx), the data I get from it is an IEnumerable(of Dictionary). When I bind this to my datagrid, I get the problem that I only see 2 columnsI've been tracing this problem and discovered that in the first row in the excel, there are only 2 values (cell C and D). I think the binding to datagrid looks at this first row to create its headers. This results in my datagrid only showing columns C and D.

I am trying to insert a string variable inside of two strings, and make a combined string. Public Sub Page_Load() Dim Id As String Id = Trim (Request.QueryString("Id")) End Sub Dim mp3text as string url... & Id & ".mp3" My goal is to make the mp3text variable have a string that is: url...(If Id is 7) It is for some reason not connecting up correctly. I checked what string it is outputting and this is what it is giving: url...It is missing the Id content.

It's become a night mare. All day today I have been trying to tell the hex contents of the bytes in a string. In this case Im attentpting to detect a VBCRLF. In the debugger this in displayed as a " " and thats it no matter how I have to setting set.It makes it difficult doesn't it? The thing is that debuggers are quite capable of displaying adresses, of course this is only relevant to systems that do not change virtual addresses (which Windows does not)only physical addresses.Why is it impossible to see the values of a vbcrlf (0D0A) in a string? This sytem is becoming impossible to use.

I need to remove some content from string.
dim id as string ="TabContainerContent1_Basic_MyFirstName"
I need to remove TabContainerContent1_Basic_ . The fix is TabContainerContent1, it is under loop so always _Basic_MyFirstName will be changing. I need to get the text after the last _ char.

The code below works for the class that I hard coded "XCCustomers" in my RetrieveIDandName method where I use CType. However, I would like to be able to pass in various classes and property names to get the integer and string LIST returned. For example, in my code below, I would like to also pass in "XCEmployees" to my RetrieveIDandName method. I feel so close... I was hoping someone knew how to use CType where I can pass in the class name as a string variable.
Note, all the other examples I have seen and tried fail because we are using Option Strict On which disallows late binding. That is why I need to use CType.I also studied the "Activator.CreateInstance" code examples to try to get the class reference instance by string name but I was unable to get CType to work with that.When I use obj.GetType.Name or obj.GetType.FullName in place of the "XCCustomers" in CType(obj, XCCustomers)(i)I get the error "Type 'obj.GetType.Name' is not defined" or "Type 'obj.GetType.FullName' is not defined"

I have a List(of String()). I have written a custom comparer (implements IComparer(of string)) to do an alphanumeric sort.Is there a way to sort the List using a given index to determine which position in the String() to sort by? In other words one time I might sort by Index = 0 and another time by Index = 3. The length of all String() in the list is the same.For reference this question is similar to Sort List<String[]> except I am using VB.net and that question is hardwired to Index=0.
EDIT from OP's comments:I started simple with the non custom comparer but I am getting an error: expression does not produce a value. Not sure what I am doing wrong.Here is the code:
Public Shared Function SortListOfStringArray(ByVal ListOfStringArray As List(Of String()), ByVal SortByIndex As Integer) As List(Of String())
Return ListOfStringArray.Sort(Function(x, y) x(SortByIndex).CompareTo(y(SortByIndex)))
End Function

I have a language that generally contains serialised data messages in a human-readable format, but some productions within the language contain verbatim raw, binary data.My parser uses String for its buffer since that seems to be the easiest thing to work with. However the data is read from a network socket into an array of Byte.
Now, I'm trying to connect the dots between Byte() and String:
[Code]...
But my data is still mangled. I haven't actually been able to deduce yet precisely how the data is being mangled, but I do know that the length of the data is changing, indicating that the bytes are not being left verbatim.
So how can I obtain a String whose contents are just a verbatim copy of the bytes from my Bytes() input?

I got a string array & I need to show the contents of it to a single label. It acts like a clock. The thing is I tried with everything I could but I failed. This is the code I've been trying. Its in vb.net. And theres a thread running to slow down the loop so I can display the contents in a label for 2 seconds.
Dim j As Integer
For j = 0 To readText.Length
label.text=readText(j)
Thread.Sleep(2000)

I have an arraylist of strings, one of them looks like this:It's wet out here and [player id=3686163]Ripper[/player] knows it. That ball was like a bar of soap in a prison - nobody wanted to pick it up. Knock-on.
I need to remove the square brackets and the contents of them, to give:It's wet out here and Ripper knows it. That ball was like a bar of soap in a prison - nobody wanted to pick it up. Knock-on.
The contents of the square brackets are likely to change from string to string, and in some case I may have more that one player in that string.

I work for a printshop that screenprints customized hats ,tees and a host of other stuff for a variety of small businesses. Being that we are a small business as well, we can't afford to mass ship catalogs to our clients, so I decided to build a catalog application/business card that can be emailed to them. The app is rep. specific, and after choosing which options suit them best using text fields and combo boxes, upon clicking submit, the customers' info is emailed to the rep.
To do this, I am trying to get a popup window that displays an email form with the 'mailto' address previously set, so it can't be altered and the info from the previous screen to be pasted in the body of the email. Upon clicking the confirm button, the mail is sent and the window is closed. I already have the code to copy the info from the textbox and combobox entries and paste it into the textbox in the next form, but getting the email form to be functional is appearing to be quite a feet.

just found out that replace(string does not do the same as string.replace when my string variable was an empty str the first one returns "nothing" and the second returns an empty string (as expected).just sloppy coding anyhow, it was a function that was converted from classic asp and never rewritten properly.

I have 4 string lists as follows
Dim input_list As New List(Of String) Dim input_POS As New List(Of String) Dim trigger_list As New List(Of String) Dim trigger_POS As New List(Of String)
I want to compare the contents of the input list (containing words (e.g., want, the) etc. to the ones of the trigger list (containign again words) and if a same entry (i.e. word) get the POS for both input word and trigger word from the relevant lists and put them into a property list. For example
input list (want, the, right)trigger list(want, there, wait)input list POS (verb, article, adjective)trigger list POS (verb, pronoun, verb)
Output property list (want:verb, want:verb) (only want is common between input and trigger list). Then I need to conduct a test between the two property items for similarites. If they are exactly the same, the code should output a confirmation "i.e., Yes" into a textbox. If not the code should output a "No" plus the contents of the property list into a textbox.

I am using vb.net to parse my own basic scripting language, sample below. I am a bit stuck trying to deal with the 2 separate types of nested brackets.
Assuming name = Sam
Assuming timeFormat = hh:mm:ss
Assuming time() is a function that takes a format string but
has a default value and returns a string.
[code]....
I could in theory change the syntax of the script completely but I would rather not. It is designed like this to enable strings without quotes because it will be included in an XML file and quotes in that context were getting messy and very prone to errors and readability issues. If this fails I could redesign using something other than quotes to mark out strings but I would rather use this method.
Preferably, unless there is some other way I am not aware of, I would like to do this using regex. I am aware that the standard regex is not really capable of this but I believe this is possible using MatchEvaluators in vb.net and some form of recursion based replacing. However I have not been able to get my head around it for the last day or so, possibly because it is hugely difficult, possibly because I am ill, or possibly because I am plain thick. I do have the following regex for parts of it.
Detecting the parentheses: (w*?)((.*?))(?=[^(+)]*((|$))
Detecting the square brackets: [[(.*?)]](?=[^[+]]*([[|$))
