I have a control thread that starts up a secondary thread and when the secondary thread finishes, the control thread restarts the secondary thread. On this secondary thread, I use a stopwatch to record a thread.sleep event. Is there any reason, under any circumstance, why the stopwatch elapsed millisecond value (499) would be 1ms less than the sleep time (500 ms)This doesn't happen all the time or even a lot, I'm just curious if there is any physical reason for this to happen.

I have a field displaying on a datagrid that the user has asked to be variable length based on the data that is returned. Is there an easy way to determine how many characters are returned for a field and then converting that to a pixel length so that I can change the length of the field in the code.

If using the following in an if statement I get an error: If trg.Name.Substring(4, 6).ToUpper <> ("ABCDEF") Then I get the error: "Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length"
I assume this is because the string (trg.name) is too small for the 4, 6 substring. What would be the correct method of working around this problem? VB.net Studio 2008.

Maybe I missed it in here, but I couldn't get a search to find anything.
Is it at all possible to change the length of a tab in a normal TextBox. I hate how deep the tabs go. I'd like it if they were a bit smaller.
Seen this in
Dim file as FileStream = New FileStream("myfile.text", 0, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim reader as BinaryReader = New BinaryReader(file)
Dim data as Byte() = reader.ReadBytes(CType(file.length, Integer))
Why is the file.length being converted to Byte, when Integer range is greater, and the code not failing to do so? I don't understand.
I have a string:
0E0100000000000000000003CB7352
I need to be able to look at Offset 14 and Length is 1B. I need to be able to look at bit 0 - bit 5. I have NO idea how to read data like this so I wish I could be more specific but I can't. Can someone tell me how to read the specific bits and translate them? I have no idea how to google this. So if someone wants to point me to a search pattern. That would be awesome too.
Here is a chart that describes the bits:
bit 0 : Light LED (head) status, 0: OFF, 1: ON
bit 1 : IR-Radar power status. 0: OFF, 1: ON
bit 2 : IR-Radar detector status: 0: fine, 1: barrier detected.
bit 3-5: Charger staus
0x00 : nothing happen
0x01 : charging completed.
0x02 : in charging
0x04 : something wrong, error occur.
bit 6,7: undefined, do not use.
Is there any container that would hold a number that is 10,000 characters in length? would I have to create one? If so how would I go about doing something like that?

View 12 RepliesI'm making a class to basically print the screen. I'm going through each field and doing a drawstring, but things aren't lining up correctly. I tracked the problem down and don't know why it's happening.Take this line of code as an example:
Me.CreateGraphics.DrawString(Label1.Text, Label1.Font, Brushes.Black, Label1.Left, Label1.Top + 30)
This should draw the same text that is in label1 directly below label1 on the form. However, the drawn text is a different length than the label's text. Courier draws shorter, Sans Serif draws longer. It's doing the same thing going to a print document; it isn't matching how the label is being rendered.

I need to create a function named isValid to validate some criteria, text length character content. have validated length but i need to validate at least one Uppercase letter and one number is used(minimum) i was thinking of using a loop to check each character individually. thats probablly where i go wrong i, i often convolute the simple and keep heading of track.
