Oct 16, 2009I'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?

View 2 RepliesConverting C++ Printf Formatting To / From String Formatting
Sep 30, 2010I have some VB .NET software that interfaces to a load of old (but sound) COM objects. The VB provides a GUI for the COM objects, part of which consists of setting various options on the COM objects - several of which relate to string formatting.I have a simple pair of VB .NET functions that convert basic %f, %d, %g formats to/from .NET equivalents using a large select case covering specific common strings, but they don't cover all formats.[code]Before I start diving in and making it more versatile with some parsing, does anyone know of a class (eg VB or C# .NET) that provides a decent ready-made implementation? Or perhaps some regexp wizadry could be used?

View 2 RepliesDate Formatting In VB 2008?
Apr 4, 2009have a really annoying VB 2008 problem and I'm hoping someone knows how to solve this. I implement the following code:
Code:
DispArrDate = MonthArr & "/" & DayArr & "/" & YearArr
DisplayArrDate.Text = DispArrDate.ToLongDateString
So basically, I'm getting date information from the user and trying to convert it into a date format, and show it to the user in a text box which is obviously named "DisplayArrDate", and "DispArrDate" is a date variable and "MonthArr" & "DayArr" & "YearArr" are strings which are always numbers because they are selected from a drop down combo box.
Now, the code works perfectly on my computer and some others, but for some unknown reason, on some computers, even if they have the same local date settings, it gives me the error: "Conversion from string "4/13/2009" to type 'Date' is not valid.", that's just one example, where "13" is obviously the day. I use the month/day/year format because, in the toturial I'm reading, it tells me, that no matter my local date settings, when using VB 2008, the month/day/year format should always be used and it will display a date in the local format automatically. It seems that on some computers, this isn't the case, and the month/day format is creating errors.

VS 2008 Annoying In Text Formatting?
Jun 4, 2009So i wrote a script which does a few things and richtextbox2 is updated as follows:
a = 27,130,000,000
b = 2,930,000,000
c = 4,290,000,000
Problem is, when i copy the contents of richtextbox2 to the clipboard using "clipboard.settext(richtextbox2.text)" and then open up note page, and paste the clipboard contents, it is wrapped wrongly and i get the following in note pad:"a = 27,130,000,000 b = 2,930,000,000 c = 4,290,000,000"
I am using "system.envoronment.newline" in my code to start a new line.

VS 2008 - Nullable Datatype Inhibits Formatting?
Nov 29, 2010[Code]...
When x is nullable I get an error 'Overload resolution failed because no accessible ToString accepts this number of arguments'. I suppose I could copy the nullable variable into a non-nullable variable, then format it, but that seems extremely clumsy for something that should be fairly simply. Isn't there a better way?
Arghh! Copying the Date? variable into a Date variable doesn't work-Option Strict is On & that sees the two variables as being of different types. Is it really necessary to to an explicit CDate conversion on a nullable date variable?

VS 2008 Any Primer For Formatting Output In Console App
Mar 18, 2012I would like to have my output in columns, and the numbers in two digit after the decimal.
I am writing a data validation app where the app asks the user for input like give me a number of double type: and hopefully the user will comply.
But the app will test some validation rules and then:
1) if the user simply pressed enter the app will tell the user all sorts of reasons why the input was rejected. And that part should look like a table with columns for the entry, if it passed true, otherwise false and then the reason line empty input. Or this number is a string.

May 24, 2012I am working on a vb6 to vb.net migration project using vs 3.5. I have a datagridview.in a particular cell of this grid, user has to enter only numeric data. but after user enter data, itshould become concainated with a $ symbol (eg: if user enter 34, the cell value should become $34). And if he/she presses the hyphen ("-") in the key board, the data (ie. $34) should become -$34 and if again presses the hyphen button in key board, the data should become $34.
