Hopefully this question will have an easy answer; I've tried searching for the answer myself, but I don't know what to search for (I don't know what you would call this).
Is there a way to compare a string to see if it matches more than 1 value?

Just wondering if anyone knows why does my authentication server fail at comparing strings? Also is there a better method of comparing strings than what im using below? User types in a textbox then sends text to server, server then checks it

I cant seem to think this morning.I am trying to compare version strings. These are scraped off a website...
examples:
4.5.0.55
4.2.2.128
4.5.0.37
5.0.0.713
how do i make sure I am grabbing the highest version?right now I have it checking the length, if less than 9 .. add a zero. then remove the .'s and convert to an integer. then just check. I know thats not the best and most accurate.
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.
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.
Below two which is the best practice to compare strings...
If "A".ToLower = "a" Then
'....
End If
If String.Compare("A", "A", True) = 0 Then
'...
End If
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
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).
I am working on a UDP Client/Server, and currently i have them sending back and forth strings, which i convert to bytes, and then open the bytes to read. I want to now send an Object instead of those strings, which includes multiple unsigned integers and strings.
View 39 RepliesI'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?
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?

I've had no issues with this in C++, however, in Visual Basic 2008 (not sure about 2010), when I run a Do loop of any type, and run a comparison to 0, or even 0.0, the code loops a second time.
[Code]...
To my knowledge it should cancel after the 5th line, since the condition is satisfied. However it does not. Instead it runs the loop one last time.If I put in a comparison of any number higher or lower than 0, it works as it should, and cancels properly when the 5th line is written. So 1, -3, 0.0001, etc. works, so the problem lies with 0.
Now I do not know that much about the debugger, but it should be mentioned I'm running express edition, and I could not find anything that lets me see how each line compares. Nor, after an hour of searching online, could I find a single forum where this is answered (though perhaps that is due to how I worded my search).
If someone could explain to me why the comparison does not work as it should and loops a second time when comparing to 0, or even 0.0 (one person thought it was a difference in balance being double and 0 being an integer),
How do I check if 1 file is the same as another file? For example, lets say I have to files. Both have the same name, but different contents. How would I "compare" the files and tell if they are the same or different?

View 9 RepliesI'm wondering if there is another way of comparing two byte arrays, that isn't going through each index of the array.[code]But that would give me false negatives. If I wanted the real results then I would have to add a Not.
View 4 RepliesThis is the code I have in one button and I have 2 listboxes that will be filled with the info it gets.This code should compare 1 avi file to one jpg file and see if they have the same name. If YES then it will add the avi path to one listbox. If they don't have the same name OR the .jpg doesn't exists it will add avi path to another listbox.. But currently it is adding the avi name to both listboxes.

Then I made a dropdown with options
I want my script to compare the values of the dropdown with the string readed from the ini
then uses it as selected value (the so called standard value) the one uc without clicking on the arrow if the none of the values match with the string value of the ini then it executes

I have a combobox that displays saved names from the fullname column of my database. This works fine, all the items under the fullname column are added to the combobox. However, I also have several textboxes on the same form that also need to display data from the database, from the same record. So I was wondering if this was possible:

I have these list of RS-232 strings declared in my public class
Public Class TouchInterface

Dim SystemOffbtnCmd As String = "rs232command4"

I then have this private sub. For the sake of this thread, what I would like to do is get the name of the label that was clicked which in the code below is already done, convert it to string (not sure if this needs to be done), this is also done in the code below. Next I want to compare the labelnamestring to all the variables in the public class to find out which one it is equal to and then disply that variable which should be my rs232 string in the message box. I have also added "Cmd" to the variable names above so I also need to work out how to add the text "Cmd" to the string to properly compare.

I was just wondering if a computer would add two numbers together (positive) faster that comparing two numbers.
I was thinking that it would be comparison (best case) due to the fact that the 0th bits could be different right off the bat. Where as when adding, moving from bit 0 to N is mandatory for addition.
But then again a computer may add/compare differently than I am imagining.
I'm trying to make a Lottery program on visual basic 2008, but there's one thing that I am stuck with.Note: My explanation may be hard to understand, so if you would rather have me send you my code and see how it works, I'm fine with that. My code is pretty long so far, so I didn't know if i should post it on here.
My program has 6 picture boxes lined up horizontally, and has one text box underneath each one. There is a play and stop button on the bottom left corner.I've altered my program to have animations for the picture boxes. Instead of having a random picture picked, I have it so that each picture box scrolls through a series of 10 numbers when the user presses play.
When the player presses stop, the picture boxes stops scrolling, and random pictures are displayed in each box. (The picture is really just a black circle with a number in it).The text boxes below the picture boxes are for the user to put numbers in. These are the numbers they select for the lottery. Now this is my predicament. Since the picture boxes decides what the winning lotto numbers are, how can I compare the numbers in the text box to the pictures?
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.
