VS 2008 : Reading Random Data From Xml?
Sep 25, 2009
I am having some trouble thinking of a way to do this, what i have is an .xml file loaded and data read from it and used in my application, the thing is the data varies in each .xml for example:
vb.net
Dim XMLD As New Xml.XmlDocument
'// Find and load the XML file
XMLD.Load("Debug/xForm.xml")
[code]....
The fields vary on application execution, there maybe 5 fields with data one time, then 13 the next etc, if only 5 fields have been written to the xml and i load them all like above i get an error (because that data hasn't been written)is there a way to load the data dynamically based on how many fields have been written kinda thing?

how to proceed. One of our customers is going to be sending me a flat file (ASCII-Text) that I have to break down and scan. Every line ends in a CrLf - So I know I can use StreamReader and ReadLine(). I did get it to work on one of the test files they sent.(A very Short file) However, the file is not delimited at all and every field is padded to the full length they specified. Here's the format of the file:

I'm a new VB programmer, although I have a decent background in java.Anyways, I'm learning VB and I'm trying to read data from an Excel file using VB 2008 and can't figure out how to accomplish this. I can't seem to get any data from the Excel spreadsheet to display in a simple Windows form. Also, there's a decent amount of data in the spreadsheet so I was wondering if it makes sense to just read data as needed from the excel spreadsheet or if there was some type of data structure that I could import the entire Excel spreadsheet into and do my analysis from there.

Is there a way to set BitConverter to produce Int32 values from BigEndian-encoded bytes?I feel like there might be a way to temporarily "set" the encoding to BigEndian before calling BitConverter, but I haven't figured it out.Right now I'm just reversing the 4 bytes before calling BitConverter, I guess I could create my own function that adds the bytes with the appropriate multiplier, but it seems a little inelegant if it can be done simply with BitConverter.

I have a text file that the first part of my program writes data to, but for this second section, I need to read that file and use pieces of that data and average them out. The text file is setup up with 90 lines of data starting with the first 9 lines containing data and the 10th is a blank space. I need to read line 6, 8, and 9. I need to Loop through the file so I am using the Do While Loop. Where I am confused is when using the For...Next Loop to tell the program to read a specific line. If you have any info that can lead me to the answer that would be great. I would prefer you just point me in the right direction because I would very much like to somewhat figure it out in the process.

My program so far reads a certain webpage's source code and places it in a textbox. This much has already been accomplished.
Now I need to pick certain strings out of the rather large amount of text data and have the lines stored in variables, but the trick of it is, the exact string is unknown. The exact function should be, that the code finds certain tags from the source code, say <td> and </td> and takes the string data in between those tags, what ever it may be.

I'm working on an application that takes certain outlook email messages, saved as text files, and loads data from them into a database. It would be better if I could read the messages from the inbox directly into my app without the user having to save them as text files. I've searched the web and every example I find is from 2003 or earlier and is using VB6. I'd like to read both Outlook and Outlook Express Inboxes. Can someone either provide me with the code to do this or a good "recent" link with a tutorial?

Data binding should be an extremely simple thing to manage but I can't find a SIMPLE solution to the following problem.
I have two forms
Form1 contains a 4x4 MSFlexGrid (unfortunately an unmanaged COM object but I can merge cells, which I can't do with a managed Datagrid)
Form2 contains other controls which change the data in the Flexgrid.
I connect the two with a Public 4x4 array. Form2 changes the data in this array. I can update the grid data by reading the array. But how do I bind the Grid to the array so that it auto-updates - which is the whole point of binding isn't it?

I use the following statement to shuffle the data in a range (for example 1 to 10) and result is stored in a combo box.
Dim RndSQs As New Random()
Dim ArNumbersSQs As Integer() = Enumerable.Range(1, Val(txtSQs.Text)).OrderBy( _
Function(x) RndSQs.Next()).ToArray()

How can I shuffle that data which is already in a combo box but not in a range. These nos. can be random no. that user shall chose.

I want to generate random datasets with regex.
Therefore I have an expression like [a-z]{10}.I want to generate maybe 200.000 data - maybe more (it should be generic), every data should be unique.
How can i implement that?at the moment i have a algorithm, that generates a random string, then search in an array that stores the values, if the string is already in there it repeats that process. Otherwise it stores the string in the array.

how do you save data stored in an array of records (structure) to a text file using StreamWriter? I currently have
Private Sub btnSaveToFile_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSaveToFile.Click
Dim sw As New StreamWriter(New FileStream("EmployeeDetails.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
For Each record As EmployeeType In employees
[code]....
but it doesn't work. My array is fixed and currently has 3 elements (for testing purposes). If I enter two records and add these to the structure I get the following data saved to the text file:
123,helen,66000
879,john,89975
0,,0
How do I stop unused elements of the array being included when writing to file? Should I use a dynamic array instead and if yes, how do you use dynamic arrays with structures?
