Changing Unknown Number Of Label Captions Using Unknown Length Array
Oct 22, 2009Using Access 2003 and VB code, I have created a form with a number of labels. The labels will display an employee's names. I have named the labels name1, name2, name3...etc. Using an ADO data set and DCount I have determined the number of names in an Access table (the number of names can vary). What I want to do is for each record in succession to pick the first name and surname from the data set , combine them into a full name (this part has been successful), and then set the full name into the label caption in succession. Example: full name 1 into name1, full name 2 into name2, full name 3 into name3... until all names appear as labels on the form.
I created a counter to and a variable to increment the label number but when I address the caption property of the variable containing the new label (e.g. name1, name2..etc.) it throws an errer at runtime. Here is the code:

.net - VB 2008 - Extracting Data From Website?
Oct 20, 2009All I've been able to do is create the form. We have to get information off of a website and load certain information back into the textboxes on our form.
Assignment 6 - Text Parsing Many applications require you to extract information from a block of text. We will be using this heavily in the project. This project is designed to give you some practice extracting information out of text files. You will need to open up a file, search the file for some specific content, and then copy that content and place it on screen.
Go to Jobs.com and select a state that starts with the same letter as your last name (if there is no state that starts with the same letter, use the second letter, then the third letter, etc.). For example if my name was 'John Byway', since there was no B or Y, I would pick a state starting with W - either Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, or Wyoming.
The idea is you want to extract all the jobs information out of the page. We want to put the jobs names in a combo box, so the use can pick any of the jobs. Ideally, this would also show the information about each job. You don't need to do that. However, you do need to extract the information and put it on the screen (When you load the next job, the old job information will be lost, and you will be left with the information about the last job loaded)
Tasks
1. Go to the above address, view the source in the browser, copy and paste it into a text file. You do not need to access the Source of the web page within your application.(in IE go to View / Source; In FireFox go to View / Page Source)
3. Extract each job title and place the name in the Combo box.
4. Find and extract the following fields. Note, some jobs may not list all of these. In that case, get as many as are presented.
a. Date
b. Title of job
c. Company
d. Location
[code].....
Indicate on screen how many jobs you found. Note, you only need to look on the first page of jobs?
VS 2008 : Reading Random Data From Xml?
Sep 25, 2009I am having some trouble thinking of a way to do this, what i have is an .xml file loaded and data read from it and used in my application, the thing is the data varies in each .xml for example:
vb.net
Dim XMLD As New Xml.XmlDocument
'// Find and load the XML file
XMLD.Load("Debug/xForm.xml")
[code]....
The fields vary on application execution, there maybe 5 fields with data one time, then 13 the next etc, if only 5 fields have been written to the xml and i load them all like above i get an error (because that data hasn't been written)is there a way to load the data dynamically based on how many fields have been written kinda thing?

Python To VB: Unknown Data Types
Mar 3, 2010I never thought I'd say this, but I am getting pissed at how easy it is to just plop down a variable in python without any declaration. I have an existing python script which interfaces with a server, and it builds its own messages to be communicated via sockets. What I am trying to do is take the command line python script and convert it into a VB GUI app that is more user friendly.

Storing Data With Unknown Length In Array
Jan 15, 2010I have a piece of code written in Visual Basic:
Dim n As Double, i As Integer
n = 4
Dim Ramp_length(1 To 4) As Double
For i = 1 To n
Ramp_length(i) = Cells(13 + i, 5)
'Cells(65 + i, 7) = Ramp_length(i)'
Next i
Is there a way I can reproduce the result without declaring the array with a "fixed" length? I eventually want the code to read off a column of data with unknown length and store it in an array of equal or smaller length so it can be altered.

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 New Instance Of A Class With An Unknown Name
Apr 25, 2012is it possible to declare a new instance of a class using a name contained in another varible which is unknown?
For Instance....
Dim Clients() As String
Then say two clients are connected that array may contain the following:
Clients(0) = Client1245
Clients(1) = Client4856
I now need to create an instance of my class 'clsClient' for each client connecting so my thought was to declare it using the clients unique name/number. I know this isnt valid code but as an example
Dim clients(0) as New clsClient
So I would then have an instance of clsClient called Client1245 and if I had a routine in clsclient called for instance StartClient() i could then do
Client1245.StartClient()
Yes I know the code isnt valid but I think it gets across what I am trying to do and hopefully one of you smartass's will be able to instruct me on what I am trying to do and hopefully not too complex :-)
VS 2008 - Safe Cancellation Of Unknown Threads
Jul 7, 2011I have got my multi threaded application running which is a Windows Service Project.
Basically when the service starts it starts a thread listening on a port for connections. The reason I started this on a new thread was so I could easily control it and not lock up that main worked thread.
Now on that thread when a client connects it dynamically assigns them another port number that is not currently in use and starts a new thread listening on that port and waits for the client to connect to do the actual data crunching.
So basically I have my main project thread, a Main listening thread then the possiblity of 0 to 100 more threads for each connected client.
Now this project should always be running but in the event it needs to be shut down (or server rebooted etc) I want to be able to shutdown the threads safely.
I can down my main listening thread safely but my trouble is all those other possible threads. What I would like is if the service is called to stop I want any of those other possible running threads which would have an active connection to the client to send a simple command like 'STOP' then close the connection gracefully (MyConnection.Close) and end itself.
The only solution I can think of which I don't really want to do is have a global varible (StopThreads as Boolean) and after each command in the thread check that boolean and if its set to true jump to some code to do what I want and end the thread but there must be an easier way? Or is this the best way?

I've spent a few hours trying and don't want to have to pay Verisign or someone. I know you have to set a strong name up in the Signing section but I can't get this to work. Also, when I upload the application I currently just upload the .exe from the bin/release folder as I like it to be a portable application. Am hoping I can keep it this way for a publisher name to appear.
