VS 2008 Making A Program Dealing With Change?
Oct 11, 2011
Write 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)

im new to programing infact this is my second day... im unsure of where to ask this question and i know this is probably not the hardest thing to do lol, i am making a "launcher" to launch a few games, a webbrowser and a few other things, however to do this i have a "set path" in the code, i want to know if anyone can help me make a "setup page" so the user of the launcher can set the path [eg]- to launch firefox i have If IO.File.Exists("C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe") Then Process.Start("C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe")not everyone has firefox installed to that exact location , so i need to make a settings page to set the paths, each file is launched buy a single button, in the future i may even make another program much the same for people who dont know how to use a pc nd just want to check emails and browse to a webpage.

The projects I've made in VS 2008 and VB6 are pretty basic. I use VS 2008 now, and I was wondering how I could accomplish something like this:Let's say I want to make a toolbar and in the toolbar (under Options...) I want to open up a dialog box that will allow users to change preferences to the software I've made. Let's say, for instance, they can set the background color of the main form to customize their software a bit.

I have an app that gets info from the internet into a label, the progam then decides which event will hapen depending on the info obtained, either load next form and continue or Application.Exit
My problem is that the speed that the info is returned from the net, varies and because the info is late sometimes the program exits when it should not.

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 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..

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'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]

I am making a program which generates a random number between 1 and 10 and when 7 appears it is suppose to tell you how many tries it took to get the number 7 and then end the application. This is the code I have used:
CODE:
This code only generates the number 7 and exits the application, each time i click the random button but i want it to show the other number it randomizes too for example 1 2 3 4 .. etc, if u dont understand, please try it, but im trying to say, when i clikc random it just says number 7 (does randomizing in background) and tells you how much tries it took but i want it to show the other number it randomized also and when 7 appears, then exit the program

I have a program that has multiple tabs, with roughly 100 - 400 controls of varying types on each area. The program takes about...4 seconds to load, which I don't think is right.I did a few memory tests on the program startup, and idling it. At startup, the program uses 100% CPU usage, and 102mb of RAM, but then the form displays, the RAM drops to 20%, and CPU at 0%.Changing a Tab locks the program up for 1 to 2 seconds depending on the tab, and memory fluctuates.Am I doing something wrong here, when a program form has literally over 500 controls of many types, spanning 6 tab pages, or should I be doing something different?

I am making an application for my school library, which lets the user see how many books have been borrowed, how many returned, and how many that have not been returned. I am using My.Settings to do this. I have no problem saving the settings, or making them change according to how many books have been returned or borrowed, but when I try to load them into a few labels, I get an error.
[code]...
This is the error I obtain:Conversion from string "Books borrowed so far: " to type 'Double' is not valid.

I would like to create a button that allows me to shift the form down or right say 10 pixels each time the button is clicked. How would I do this?

I mean i know i have to code it to call if from a folder but i do not know how to set up the form so i can make my own program. My teacher said that there used to be a thing where you just put in on the from and it did it for you is there a special thing you have to download to do that or do you have to actually go through and code it yourself. I do not want to be given code i just want to know the best way of starting my project whether it is making a thing so that i can play the videos

What would be the best way to make a Windows .NET application be the only program that can be used on a computer? I have come across timers or events to switch windows back to a window with matching text and some api32 calls to make a form top most.
Is it possible to make an application like the windows lock screen where nothing can be done except that what is on screen? I want to block users from doing other things and only let administrators get to the desktop.

I am making a program that is very simple, but I'm have problems with it. It runs like this:Theres a textbox and you enter in any amount you want.Next to that there are three radio buttons, deposit, check and service charge.If you enter in 100 in the transaction text box, and check the deposit radio button, and hit "Calculate" it will display 100 (in a total display box); hit calculate again, it will display 200, then 300, etc..Now lets say you keep 100 in the text box, but you check either "service charge" or "check" and hit calculate then it will MINUS the amount in your total display box. So for example if you had 300 in the total display box, and 100 in the transaction box and you checked "Service Charge" and hit calculate it would display 200 in the total display box, hit calculate again, and it shows 100.. etc..
Public Class Form1

I am making a program in vb.net (visual basic) that has two forms. I have one as a sort of "main" base which will be behind everything. Then I have another additional form which is suppose to go on top of the "main" form. Well I get this to work when I show both of the forms, but I want the smaller (additional) form to be centered onto the main form. If you want an easier sense of it, its a small box in a big box. (all centered and aligned). Does anyone know how to do this?

I have an exe with certain variables that need to be changed for each "make" of the program so that each one is customised, but what I need is to create a program that can edit these variables and generate a new exe, or something that can take the source files from my exe and edit the variables then recompile it. Now I don't want to hear "why not just do them by hand", if I wanted that I wouldn't be asking how to do this, I just need this because I need to create 1000's of these custom exes, and I figured that if I could make a program that can do this (edit the variables and compile new exe) then that would make it easy on me since the variables I need to change go in an order from 1 - 1000. I also need it to work on a regular pc not one with all the special VB plugins and stuff, it needs to be able to work on a fresh install of win xp.

I have searched lots of way to make a 30 day trial limit of my program. They say "Use -Settings- in visual basic application for your variables" to save the information about user (like : registered or not registered or when the program expire). (You can see the 'Settings' when you double-click on "my project" in "solution explorer") Does the data which we use with "settings" saved in our program or somewhere in the computer?

I am trying to make a basic "paint" like form for one of my programs.I would like it to be like a function, where I put the input in, the user changes it, and when the user is done, it returns the changed picture.I know how to draw the picture and then draw lines, dots, whatever where the user clicks, but I don't know how to do some of the features like: text, color picker, zoom, erase, select (copy and pasting parts of the image) , and fill. I also don't really want to have a color picker dialog open ever time that the user wants to change color.
