VS 02/03 Comparing Strings That Contain Quotes?

Aug 18, 2011

I'm trying to compare the selected item in a combo box to the items in a collection in search of a match. There is guaranteed to be a match because the combo box was originally populated from the same collection. This is the code I'm using:

[Code]....

This code works for other collections but not for this one. In this case, the loop stops after the first iteration, regardless of what's selected in the combo box. I have confirmed that the collection contains the correct data and that there is a match for the combo box options. The only difference between this instance and other instances is that the values in the collection and in the combo box contain a double quote at the end. I suspect this is what's causing the error. (To be clear, there is no error message, it's simply not returning the correct value.) I've tried various string compare methods but none of them have fixed the problem.

Adding Double Quotes To VB Strings?

label1.text = "<a href='#' onclick="window.open('PageTwo.aspx','',''); return false;">Click here</a>"

Notice the 2 quotes in bold above. I need to add (return false) so the browser won't scroll to the top of the page when the text label (#) is not found.

I'll use this image to illustrate my question.

Basically, how would I go about it searching through the listbox for "String 4" and then a messagebox coming up?

But, if it doesn't find that string an error message comes up.

Comparing Large Array Lists - Matching Strings?

Apr 26, 2011

I have two array list same size, depending on the information gathered by previous functions. The size of the arrays range from 2 - 45 in length, both arrays always have the same length. I am trying to match one string in one array to another string in the second array. When they match then add Item to List.

Here is my
Do Until i = Arraylenght
info = Replace(myAL(s), " ", "")
SortedArrayList(m) = Replace(SortedArrayList(m), " ", "")
SortedLine = Split(SortedArrayList(m), "Price=")
If myAL(s).Contains(SortedLine(1)) Then
[Code] .....

This code works up to an array of not more then 4 in lenght, when working larger size array then 4, the minute it get to 5 I get this Error:
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index

Comparing Lists Of Strings - Copy And Display Elements?

Dec 20, 2009

I have two lists of strings. One is a list of all students in a class and the other is a list of students in the class that completed an assignment. The two lists are part:whole. So we have two loops for copying elements and displaying them in a list box for only the students who did submit.

Dim f As Integer
f = 0
Dim h As Integer
h = 0
While (usersinclass.Count > f)
h = 0
While (usersidthatsubmittedassingments.Count > h)
[Code] .....

What I need is the remaining portion of the "usersinclass" list. (i.e. The students who did not submit). I tried an Else statement BUT with nested loops, every element is guaranteed not to match at least once, so I was getting elements that shouldn't be there. So, is there anyway to run the given lists against each other again to pull out the remaining students? (preferably with no repeats).

Quotes In Quotes Creates Error That Stops The Making Of A Desktop Shortcut?

Dec 27, 2011

This should create a desktop shortcut but instead it spits out an error that is because of the quotes inside quotes. They need to be there, I know this is the problem as I have tried without them and it has worked. Another problem though is that it creates the shortcut (when Idon'thave quotes in quotes) but wraps the whole TargetPath in quotes making the shortcut unusable. Here is my code:

Dim input As String
Dim s As String = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("UserProfile")
input = TextBox1.Text

C# - Using SelectNodes With Attribute Having Single Quotes And Double Quotes?

Nov 9, 2011

Is there any way to use selectnode with the attribute having both single and double quotes? If we are having single quote in the attribute we can use like below,

If we are having double quotes we can use,

nodeList = root.SelectNodes("//book[contains(title,'"""attribute"""')]")

how can I use an attribute ['attribute"] having both single and quotes in SelectNodes.

Prepend A String To All Strings In A List Of Strings?

Aug 5, 2010

I have a list of strings. For each string in that list, I want to prepend another string. I wrote a method to do it, but I was wondering if there was something already in .NET I could use to do this. It seems like something that could be built in, but I was not able to find anything.

Here is the method I wrote:

Private Function PrependToAllInList(ByRef inputList As List(Of String), ByRef prependString As String) As List(Of String)
Dim returnList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
For Each inputString As String In inputList
returnList.Add(String.Format("{0}{1}", prependString, inputString))

[code].....

It works, but I would rather use built in functions whenever possible.

VS 2008 Using List Of Strings Or Array Of Strings?

Oct 16, 2009

I'm migrating from VB6 to VB.NET, in hence my questions below:

I have to write a function that returns array of strings.

How can I initiate it to empty array? I need it since I have to check if it's empty array after it returns from this function.

Is list of arrays better for this purpose? If I use a list - Is it empty when it firstly defined? How can I check it it's empty?

Find Strings Inside Strings?

Aug 15, 2011

I have been looking for examples to find the string between two strings. This top one works fine;

Public Sub ReadData(ByRef keywordStart As String, ByRef keywordEnd As String, ByVal filename As String)
Using reader = New StreamReader(filename)

[Code].....

Now the first one is fine - Ext_Volume is result of the string between the strings <Volume> and </Volume>. <Volume> and </Volume> are unique so this is straight forward.

However the second one - "^FDExp:" is unique, but "^FS" is not unique. There are occurances of "^FS" before and after "^FDExp:".

How do I get the string to search AFTER the occurrence, not before etc?

C# - How To Use Double Quotes Correctly

Oct 3, 2011

This form works in VB .NET
sendMsg = "<CStatus timestamp=""0"" " & _
"type=""login"" " & _
"cid = """ & cID & """ " & _
"key=""" & loginKey & """ />"

But I can't get it work in C#
sendMsg = "<CStatus timestamp="0"
type="login"
cid="" + cID + ""
key="" + loginKey + "" />";

It does not give the same effect. I want this as an output:
<CStatus timestamp="0" type="login" cid="var_cid" key="var_key"/>;
