I have a product table which has around 90 columns in. Must of the columns are integers. When I search for an existing product and insert it into a row its fine but when I alter one of the columns and do an update using the command builder I get 'Expression Too Complex'. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
View 4 RepliesWhat I am about to do build is a UI that will allow a power user to build complex queries.
This is non-trivial, but very common. So before I re-invent the wheel, I would like to see if anybody can point me to some already-written free code or release some of their own.
Required:
To be able to specify some 'where-clause' type logic like this: Age>21 and (Citizen=True or HasGreeCard=True) but without having to type the query code, instead, use a UI with constrained options and on-the-fly syntax checking (e.g., no unclosed parenthesis or ending a term with an Operator).
I've seen this type of thing in many line-of-business apps, where you can say 'add condition' and another line appears on the UI like this:
Dropdown of fields Dropdown of ops (=, >, etc) Blank box for entry
And you can add more lines, and the lines are all and'ed, but you can also decide to OR a few, or insert parenthesis (explicity or via indenting), NOT a line, insert, delete, and move lines around, etc.
Not required but nice:
WPF - I could convert from winforms. Extensibility using OO constructs. Validate the sanity of the query. Emit a System.Linq.Expressions expression tree - or similar data structure. If it attempts to execute the query I don't need that; but I don't mind removing it.
I have a wierd problem with an Inputbox.Who I have not in VB 2003 and 2008. If I try this:
vb.net
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim result As String = Inputbox("Enter your username")
TextBox1.Text = result
End Sub
Then I've got this error:'Inputbox' is a namespace and cannot be used as an expression.Do I need to show an Inputbox in a different way than in vb 2003 or 2008.

While looking in the dataset designer for a database table I am doing in visual basic 2008 I found a line for expressions under the property menu for a specific column. I need to know the code that I would put in this expression line so that this column adds up the numbers I input into three other columns and displays that number in the column. I need it to automatically calculate this for each row in the database table.

View 1 RepliesIn my spare time i give myself programming stuff to do. Today i want to write a function that goes through a string, if the string contains any numeric value the function must return false, if the string has any special characters it must also return false else return true.

I am currently working on a project, which purpose is to call a webservice through a VB script. VB is by far not my first language and I simply reach the point where I do not know how to go on from here.
I have a Webservice descriped in a WSDL document that defines a service that takes a complex type as parameter and returns such one as answer.
The complex type is basically just a string that is wrapped inside a class object. So what i did was to create a new class module and added a public variable to it. I created a new instance of this class, gave it for the purpose of testing a value and tried to call the webservice. Everything goes well untill i reach the call to the webservice, where the program throws an exception that says:
"Class does not support automation or does not support expected interface"
My first thought was that the initialization of the object might have gone wrong but i am quite able to set and get the values on it. So i have to assume that the object is okay. I know that the url to the WSDL document is correct, due to the fact that I can call the document via the browser and it will throw an exception of "wrong type" when i feed the soap method with a primitive.
With out luck I browsed several pages on the net to find a clue what this could. So now i wanted to give this forum a shot.
You should know that i am not able to alter the WSDL file. I have to go with the way it is. In addition am supposed to stick to VB 6.0.
I used a Form in VB to make the call to the webservice.
Here is the call procedure:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim tS

I have a custom modelbinder built to handle my accountRequest class.This class consists of some boolean values and a UserViewModel.The UserView Model is made up of strings such as Firstname, Last Name, Address.Originally I was just passing the UserViewModel as the action parameter but I now I need to package UserViewModel inside of accountRequest.however, now my modelbinder will not map the strings in the httpContext.Request to my UserViewModel inside of AccountRequest. All of the booleans map just fine.Is there an easy way to get his data to map to the UserViewModel properties other than hardcoding it? [code]
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to save some settings in a complex object. If I make a dll of the class I can then add it in the projects properties settings list as that type.When the program runs though it won't show up as anything other than nothing. I read you have to have a sub new empty constructor which I have but don't know why else this would fail.First question is how to you do this. Second is there anyway to use a class inside the project as the target of the settings type or do you have to bring a in an external dll to do this every time? [code]

Imagine you want to draw a regular shape such as a triangle, rectangle ... all the way up to say a 10 sided figure ( a decagon ) or more. I know that when we try lots of sides it looks closer and closer to a circle or an ellipse. The problem I am thinking of is placing smaller circles ( or ellipses ) at the correct positions near the points of that shape as shown for a triangle below.Here comes the question(s) How could we: a) Correctly place the circles ( or ellipses ) at the points so that the sides are at a tangent to them andb) Can we combine the REGIONs of these to produce a figure with rounded points so the light blue bits get excluded? I guess that to produce a method to deal with all the mathematics involved would be quite a complex task.Has anyway previously tackled doing this or know of any .Net tools I could use for this problem?
