I want a method of dealing with very, very, very big numbers (potentially a million digits). It is very cumbersome to deal with very big numbers in VB, would another language perhaps be better for that?

I'm trying to make a program that'll play the card game "War". I've started to code the dealing process, but it doesn't seem to be working. I currently have 3 comboboxes on the form each with numbers representing different cards, 1 that contains all the cards to be dealt, 1 that contains the user's cards, and 1 that contains the computer's cards. I plan to just draw random numbers from these comboboxes for the dealing. However, nothing happens when I click the tool-strip button that's supposed to deal the cards. [Code]
View 5 RepliesSo I am making a file crypter so that I can encrypt my VB.NET Application that I am making so that people can't decompile it. I had made this in C# and am transfering it to VB.NET, Everything worked fine in C# but once I had re-written the code in VB.NET i get this error inside of my RC4 Encryption method:
'Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.'
The error is occuring here:
Dim t As Int64 = (s(i) + s(j)) Mod 256
This is the same code above in c#:
int t = (s[i] + s[j]) % 256;
Is there anyway to make that calculation with it erroring? And why does it work in C# but not VB.NET?
I am using a stored procedure to fill a dataset with a large amount of data (47k rows and 8 columns). I am needing to fill two tables with the results of this stored proc.One table will have data representing 47k reps that currently have credit for a transaction. The other table will be a mirror copy of the 1st table with 47k reps that were supposed to get credit for a transaction. This application is going to take credit from one rep. and give the credit to the other rep record in the 2 mirrored datasets. It's taking 30 seconds for the data adapter fill method to return records to my application. I would like to reduce the amount of time it takes for this request to process.

I am making an inventory program in which there's an ItemMaster and Sales Form. Currently there are 15000 records of items(increasing daily). I want to display all the items in the sales form so that the user can select an item from the list for billing, and also in the itemmaster so that if the user wants to edit any item then he can select it from the list.
I can make a common list form for both sales and master, but i have to load the data from the database into the list every time the list is displayed(which is taking lot of time), so is there an better way to do it.
I've been messing around with prime numbers for a while now, but I now want to use massive numbers, say a few million digits in length. Is there a way of storing and performing mathematical functions with such large numbers? Is it even possible on my home computer? I read on another old thread, something about a big number library, but the links he gave are now dead.

View 10 RepliesThis piece of C# code does not produce any overflow exception.wordsize is a constant equal to 32.the x and y can be very big at the computation time. So big that long or decimal even cant hold. But C# handles the problem even the value of the variables exceeds its limits.The computation gives thr right result.(I dont know how it does it)

How is it possible to deal with incredibly long (large) numbers in vb.net?I am working on Problem 25 in Project Euler, and my program cannot handle these computations.Is there a data type that can handle thousands of digits?

Now, the person who said this was doing VBA in Excel and said that there was about 4 lines of code which could handle the overflow so it wouldn't happen.
View 4 RepliesI am currently trying to create a program to list a large group of numbers for me. My final goal is to have every 2, 3, 4, ..., and 9 digit number containing only "1" "2" and "3". I thought I would go about this by using the following VB.NET program and then copying it into a text editor, and using find & replace to eliminate all other numbers.

it fails due to the massive amount of processing that needs to take place. However, adding the intervals requires a great deal of time for each number to be displayed without any crashes.

I need some guidance on a little program I'm making (one that I thought would take a couple of hours from start to finish, it's been days now ...) that determines all of the proper divisors of any given number up to the maximum value of a UInt32.
View 8 RepliesI have a main form which contains a few buttons...some of those buttons open up smaller forms...there is also a button for each of those smaller forms, which should let me bring the chosen form to the front and give it focus...basically like the tabs in your task bar let you switch between which program you are using...but I'm having trouble with this...I need to click the button 2 times before the form I want comes to the front...the first click removes focus from the currently activated form the second click then moves the form I want to the front.I need this to happen in one click..I[code] figured out the exact cause of the problem.it's due to the fact that the first click doesn't actually take effect since the child form has focus...so the first click actually just transfers focus to the main form...the second click does what it should.I knew it was going to be extremely obvious.so the question now becomes...how can I overcome this if that is possible at all...I know I've seen applications where I can still activate functions of the parent form in one click even if I have a child form open and focused.And it's basically what I need...it does what I want and lets me switch between child forms in one click...but it stuffs up the entire look of my parent form...the layout and colors get wacky...the transparency of certain things don't seem to work and my background image is gone..
View 7 RepliesWrite a program that makes change for amounts less than one dollar. Input to the program should be an integer less than 100. Output should be the original amount together with the proper set of coins that add up to that number. The program should produce change consisting of the minimum amount of coins possible. The output should be printed in such a way as to avoid unnecessary amounts.For example:
32 cents should be printed as:32 requires 1 quarter, 1 nickel, and 2 cents Rather than� 32 requires 1 quarter(s), 0 dime(s), 1 nickel(s), and 2 cent(s)
I wonder, what is the most elegant way of dealing with the dbnull situation. I have a class, with attribute, let's say: "End_Date", which is being read from database. Type of this variant should be date, but as it's the "End_Date", there might be the situation that something haven't ended yet, and in the database in this field I have a null value.
Right now a deal with the problem this way:
Dim mEnd_Date
...
Public Property End_Date ()
Get
End_Date = mEnd_Date
End Get
Set(ByVal value)
mEnd_Date = value
End Set
End Property
But I am not sure if that's a good way as I don't declare variants as any datatype?
I will start a new project, use the queries and dealing with databases using LINQ or SQl ,Which is better to start ???

View 1 RepliesI want to write a program to do Markov chain, but my states are quite large. First of all I calculate all the transition probabilities and revenues for all states(1381860 total states), and store in a multidimensional array. Public RevArr(0 To 9, 0 To 750, 0 To 282) As Long
After that the iteration of markov chain should use these as inputs to calculate the steady-state probabilities. But when I try to run the main code I got this error.Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

This is used for making notes, so you can keep adding notes on it until it's done.And I know this is not the 'best' way of keeping these records, this is the way how it was kept until now.So now my manager comes to me and asks to make a different structure of processing these notes.Because it is stored this way I can only retrieve full record from the database, but what I need is a way how to take for example only the 'top line' of it.Example:5/25/2009 8:45:49 PM Confirmation send
