VB Can't Get The Right Function To Work With Strings
Jun 20, 2012
Basically, I'm trying to do some string manipulation to edit directories. I found some code to try and edit the directories, but when I use it it doesn't recognise 'right' as being a function and only recognises it as a right property, thus producing an error.
I was wondering if there's something I haven't imported or if perhaps 'right' is an obsolete function that was used in VB6 but replaced with something. The code I have is as follows:
I was trying to use TextInfo.ToTitleCase to convert some names to proper case. it works fine for strings in lowercase and mixed case but for strings with all characters in Upper case, it returns the input string as is. Nothing about this behavior is mentioned in MSDN documentation, any insights?
I have two textboxes (TB01 and TB02) and one button (Button1).Then i have written the following [code]I made a loop to get each line and append them to TB02. The strings should be split in three parts (cutt off at the |) so i can later recall them. However it just wont work. I played around a bit but just cant get it to work.
I cannot make the code work when it gets to consonants. I cannot get the consonant part correct.

Update: I didn't make it clear but I meant this to be a question about where/how I would use a function to return a list of strings when I'm trying to just work with classes.I have a class called Account.
I have data access class called AccountDAO.I have various functions that return lists of objects like GetAllAccounts, GetAccountByID etc.I want to populate a drop down list with just the account names and nothing else. It's proving rather slow when using lists of objects and databinding them to the dropdownlist.
I feel like I should be using a simple "Select Account_Name From blah" type statement and returning a list of strings but I don't know how to work this into my class and data access class.
Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?
'strSearch = textBox.Text, columns 2 to 10 are the optional columns you want to search to. Function WhereQuery(ByVal strSearch As String, ByVal column1 As String, Optional ByVal column2 As String = "", Optional ByVal column3 As String = "", Optional ByVal column4 As String = "", Optional ByVal column5 As String = "", Optional ByVal column6 As String = "", Optional ByVal column7 As String = "",[code]..

im also thinking on using stringbuilder to replace my strings.
I have the code below. The code returns a string in (IntersectingPoints) for X and Y. I need X and Y values to be in single and stored in an array to deal with later.[code]...
I'm a beginner and doing a review for my final...the question is-Write a Function procedure that takes an array of Strings, sorts it using Shell sort and returns the sorted array. I do not get shell sort at all.
This question is similar to How to emulate MySQLs utf8_general_ci collation in PHP string comparisons but I want the function for vb.net rather than PhP.Recently I make a lot of supposedly unique key.Some of the keys are equivalent under UTF8 unicode collation.For example, look at these 2 key:
If I paste that into front page, and look at the source code you'll see
byers-street-bistro__38.15_-79.07
byers-street-bistro__38.15_-79.07
Note: In stack overflow they still look different.I know it's not the same. I guess even in stack exchange it doesn't show. Say I have 1 million such records and I want to test whether 2 string WILL be declared the same by MySQL UTF8 collation. I want to know that before uploading. How do I do that.So vb.net think that those are different keys. When we created mysql query and upload that to database, the database complain it's the same key. Just one complain and the upload of 1 million databases will be stuck.We don't even know what the hell is ? Where can we look that up anyway?Anyway, I want a function that when given 2 strings will tell me whether they will count as the same or not.If possible we want a function that convert strings into their most "standard" form.For example, seems to encode nothing and the function would recoqnize all those nothing character and eliminate that.Is there such thing?So far this is what I do. I need something more comprehensive.
Public Shared Function GetQueryStringValue(Of T As Structure)(ByVal queryStringVariable As String) As T Dim queryStringObject As Nullable(Of T) = Nothing If queryStringVariable <> Nothing Then If HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString(queryStringVariable) IsNot Nothing Then queryStringObject = DirectCast(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString(queryStringVariable), T) End If
I am trying to call an external C++ function using VB.NET (answers in C# are fine, I can convert back) which returns a list of device names. This comes in the form of a pointer to a null-terminated array of null-terminated char arrays (correct me if I've misunderstood what I'm dealing with) with a function signature:
long GetNames(char*** names)
Most of the answers to similar questions I've found have involved something more like:
long GetNames(char** names, int length)
It appears from what I've read that I need to give it an IntPtr but I'm uncertain as to how this should be initialized, and in my case I don't know the length of the array. At the moment, in the VB module, I have:
<DllImport("MyExternal.dll", CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl)> _ Function GetNames(ByRef names as IntPtr) As UInteger End Function
I've tried calling the function by passing an IntPtr initialized as IntPtr.Zero or using Marshall.AllocHGlobal, but I always get an AccessViolationException.
Any ideas on how I should be calling this function and how I get the return value into a managed string array would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I've found a sample function call in native C as follows:
If I have two threads both calling a normal function at the same that appends strings, sometime the output string is a combination from both threads as the function had not finished executing the code before it was called again... Would a shared function wait to finish first?
I am having trouble figuring out how to get my function (lines 45-57) to work. Option Strict is supposed to be on. I am getting the error "Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Decimal' to 'String'." This is an intro problem so its going to be basic. [code]
I expected the "Left" function in the code below to return the letter "A" but it returns nothing? Also, as a further test, Left(CP, 3) returns nothing?

I'm using some functions which can be compared to encoding/decoding, but it's a really simple and basic application, not really an encoding function.The problem is, the decoding function doesn't seem to work. For some reason, it doesn't work correctly, and I'm a bit stressed, so even after searching for a while, I can't seem to find it.[code]
