VS 2008 - Displaying Proper Columns In Console Game?
Jan 17, 2010
I'm making a console game that shows some data:
#: Item Name Item Slot Cost Item Price
in that order. The thing I want to do is to make it come out in nice even columns...but I can't seem to make it do that. It comes it out in nasty uneven rows that don't look attractive...
Basically, here's what it looks like now:
1. Sword Slots: 2 Price: $40
2. W. Stick Slots: 4 Price: $1
I want to get each column to line up nicely with the other (since I control the size name).
I am having a problem with a program I coded in VB for class. It is a program that asks for the user to enter an amount of pennies then it displays the amount of dollars, quarters, nickels, and pennies. The problem I am having is that its not displaying the proper amounts in the text boxes, for example:
141 pennies = 1 Dollar 1 Quarter 1 Dime 1 Penny
So when I enter that, or any other number like 350 for the pennies, it gives inaccurate data, I am assuming that it is something I did wrong with the Modulus operator.
Public Class frmMain Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load End Sub Private Sub btnExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click Me.Close() [Code] .....
Dim qry As <??> = From f In dirInfo.GetFiles("*.QBW") Select File = f.FullName, Include = True Dim dt As DataTable = qry.CopyToDataTable()
I tried as "IEnumerable(Of DataRow)" but that didn't work. At runtime it said:
Unable to cast object of type 'WhereSelectArrayIterator2[System.IO.FileInfo,VB$AnonymousType_02[System.String,System.Boolean]]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[System.Data.DataRow]'.
My book uses Console app to display the result of a code but I prefer working with Windows forms controls. translate the code below so that it displays in a ListView or ListBox instead Console? Where do I find tutorials on how to use ListView/ListBox?
Dim ds As New NorthWindDataSet() Dim tblCustomers As NorthWindDataSet.CustomersDataTable = ds.Customers Dim rowCustomer As NorthWindDataSet.CustomersRow
I have declared my variables As Decimal, and what I am struggling to do is to display these values to 2 decimal places in such a way so that they both appear on the same line of output. Here is the guts of the problem (noting I have two different versions of Console.Writeline...the second one does display on one line, but without two decimal places).
im wondering how I could contact my Call of Duty: Black Ops game server's console, through RCon, through an application I have created in VB.net.All I want to beable to do is have the ingame console in a textbox or something, it doesnt even have to be live, just so I can execute commands remotely.
I am creating a DB application using the DataSources Wizard to create a strongly typed DataSet. Let's say that I'm working with the Employees Table of the Northwind DB, and my code is like this: Dim nWindDs As New NorthwindDataSet Dim empDT As New NorthwindDataSet.EmployeesDataTable Dim empTA As New EmployeesTableAdapterempTA.Fill(NorthwindDataSet.Employees) 'Fill the Datagridview:Datagridview1.DataSource = nWindDs.Employees
This is a follow up to my previous question: Filter DirectoryInfo files by date in asp.net
I have a gridview that is populating data from DirectoryInfo. However, I only want to display certain columns, and customize the column names and the hyperlink value in the row.
My code is:
Dim files As FileInfo() = New DirectoryInfo(strDirectoryPath).GetFiles().Where(Function(x) x.LastWriteTime >= (dtStartDate) AndAlso x.LastWriteTime <= (dtEndDate)).ToArray()
[Code]....
How can I loop through the columns, to display only "name", "extension" and LastWriteTime?
I'm trying to write a jukebox application as part of my undergraduate coursework at university, and have hit a brick wall. Using while loops, I'm trying to display tracks/songs under particular genres, as listed in a simple text file, from which the programme reads.The issue is, although I can get the columns to be named after the appropriate genres, as stated in the text file, the songs are read, and placed in the first column, regardless. I can't seem to get them to move to the next column, when the previous genre is finished.[code]
I am making a change to some code written in vb.net, its a winforms app. The menuitem uses the System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem control. I need to display the values in that drop down menu into 2 columns. It displays a number of items and therefore is too long.I wish to display the items side but side in 2 columns. In C# you can use ToolStripMenuItem which allows you to display multiple columns. Even though ToolStripMenuItem is available in Vb.net its difficult for me in the current app to switch to that tool.
I'm creating a number guessing game. [Code] Textbox1.text refers to the answer input by player. There are two labels for displaying the range of the answer within. Label1 and Label2 refer to the lower limit and higher limit respectively. If the input value is smaller than the answer, the label1 will show the number that input into texybox1. If the input value is larger than the answer, then vice-versa. However, the program doesn't work as my expectation. Once I input the answer, the MsgBox doesn't appear. When the input value is smaller than the answer, the label1 doesn't show the input value.
why vb 08 help are not getting in proper way. instead getting help for vb 2005 which is not compitable with vb 2008. i m user other vb 8 user must be facing similar problem
I am not sure of the proper, or best, way to use Settings and Resources. For now I use the default project wide My.Settings and My.Resources. I have a class that I would like to reuse in other projects, so adding project wide settings or resources in each project doesn't sound proper, nor does creating constants and variables within the class itself.I'm guessing there is a way to give a class its own resource file, and maybe even settings file, but I'm not sure how to do it. I tried adding a resource file with the same name (but with .resx extension) and I got a weird error saying I was trying to edit a resource that is apart of another project. I continued, but it didn't seem to be what I wanted and I wasn't sure how to access that new resource.
I had designed a simple form with Groupbox and some checkboxes (colors)where I need to program the following :When I checked one checkbox in this collection I need the previously checked checkbox to be unchecked and the new one to be checkedbut what I'm getting is not like this where after writting the following code :
Private Sub obj_checked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkred.CheckedChanged, chkblue.CheckedChanged, chkbrown.CheckedChanged, _ chkgreen.CheckedChanged, chkwhite.CheckedChanged, chkyellow.CheckedChanged
I took a look at System.Security.Cryptography.MD5 class about using a checksum for a UDP program i am making.Basically i want to use it, to ensure the server is receiving what the client sends it, in a way that the server can make note of it receiving properly without having the client keep track of how many proper payloads the server received. The reason i need a checksum is because the client is sending a random hex payload, so i cant have the server predict what it should receive the same way as i have it working with the sequence number.I dont fully understand how i could implement this to my code. I believe i should make a public property in my packet class, but im having trouble implementing it with the way i coded my program. [code]
I have a thread running on my application that checks a database every so often to decide whether or not to update nodes in a treeview.
Each treeview node represents a document and I have an open button that opens the document for the user.
When the document is opened, I wanted to suspend the thread that refreshes the node list until the document is closed.
I have MyThread.Suspend and MyThread.Resume. But the document viewer is on another thread.
I created functions for suspending/resuming the thread in the application. I have delegates in the viewer to call those functions from another thread. But I'm still getting an Error. "Thread is not user-suspended. Cannot be resumed" or something of the like.
But I realize that Suspend and resume are obsolete functions, so what class or objects should I be looking into and if it didn't take up too much of your time, a small example as well?
What is the proper way of working with percentages and DataGridView and dividing by zero..In my code I am attempting to divide two numbers, sometimes one of the numbers is zero..Then I need to add a column to my datagrid, I think i need it to be decimal? So i can sort it later. I had it as a string and everything worked fine excpet i couldnt sort properly.[code]If I change column to Double it handles it fine, then i am not sure how to read the value as a percentage?
Using Excel Automation classes I am seeking to save an Excel file as a delimited text file. The examples given in the MSDN library refer to versions older than Express 2008 with (apparently) different syntax options for FileFormat.Based on the snippet shown, I get a COM exception error (800A03EC). Other variations produce the same error.
Am I improperly applying the Automation features? Imports System.IO Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
I found one problem Windows Server 2008. please refer the following code. it gives me the "ieplorer.exe" while i am running this code in XP or 2003, but while I am running this code in Windows Server 2008 it is not giving me the proper result. it gives me Explorer.EXE" insted "ieplorer.exe".before run this command you have to add reference of shdocvw.dll in your project. i am using the VB 6.0
Dim IE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer Dim MainIE as SHDocVw.InternetExplorer Dim sws As SHDocVw.ShellWindows
[code].....
de my MainIE Object will set to my Previously stored handle( In TmpStoredHandle) . Does anybody know that how can i get the existing IE(Opened Internet Explorer) detail with the help of SHDocVw.ShellWindows in Windows Server 2008? with this API i can get all the opened windows with Its handle
I was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

I'm just using the default SQL Server Express in my vb 2008 express edition as my database server for my database operation. When I tried to update the records on my table I got a runtime error which indicates the error on this line 'myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()'and it highlights a yellow background on it. The runtime error says "SqlException was unhandled: An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Number'. ".

I have a console application I'm using to run scheduled jobs through windows scheduler. All the communication to/from the application is in email, event logging, database logs. Is there any way I can suppress the console window from coming up?
