I am adding ToolTips to my forms and sometimes to get the point across my text string can get lengthily. This results in a long single line. Currently I am simply adding manual carriage returns after a test run and then making changes when it looks right. Has to be a better way.
View 3 RepliesI'm populating a ToolTip with a string of text that has vBCrLf at the end to return a new line.
textfortooltip += dr(0) & dr(1) & vbCrLf
This produces multiple lines in my ToolTip based on a SQL query eg:
Administrator COMPUTER1
sa COMPUTER1
RandomUser COMPUTER2
Is it possible to format the string so the spacing is a bit more presentable like:
Administrator COMPUTER1
sa COMPUTER1
RandomUser COMPUTER2
Through tabs or another method of populating the ToolTip?
I have a little issue with the tooltip and with a toolstrip control...
I added the tool tip and set the in toolstrip control the ShowItemToolTips to True, and set for each button that i have the correct text. When i run the application when i put the mouse over the buttons the tool tips are showed, but for example the icon doesn't show up, i only get the rectangle with the text...
If i put text in the tooltiptext for the toolstrip control it works fine.
var queryString = string.Format("filename={0}&filestream={1}&append={2)", fileName, Convert.ToBase64String(b, 0, bytesRead).ToString(), 1);
above line of code giving error 'Input string was not in a correct format.'
I have a function that is getting passed a String and a DataRow.The String is a custom formatter. The idea is to do this
String.Format(passed_in_String, DataRow("ColumnINeed"))
The reason this is being done is at this point we have no idea what the column contains.However, if the formatter is "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" and the DataRow("ColumnINeed") is an integer containing 42, String.Format is returning: MM/dd/yyyy In this situation I need it to throw an exception instead of returning nonsense.Is there anyway to make String.Format throw an exception if the object does not match what the format string is expecting?
In my application i have a TextBox named "Me.txt_catre.Text" and a MS Word File (.doc) containig "<<03>>" word that must be replaced with the value from TextBox...
I use this peice of code...
code:
The problem is... if the "Me.txt_catre.Text" contains more than 255 characters as a string... the application gives me error...
What solution i have to place more than 255 chars into that MS Word file ?
I have string 12.3.2010,13.3.2010,14.3.2010,15.3.2010
And how to check for example: is 12.3.2010 member of this string up.
If it is, messagebox ("true")
If it isn't, messagebox ("false")
It's important to say that size of the string is not specified, so it can have more dates.
I had set a print format to print some word in a Text box, when I input the text in text box is an normal size from system,but I want it print out to printer follow the Rectangle size that is was set to print out on paper.actuary i want it can auto size the font size follow by the length of string.
View 1 RepliesFor some reason I can't figure this out. Here's my code. colorTextbox.Text =Format(Hex(ColorBox.Color.G), "00")What I want it to do is format the Green Hex number to be "00" instead of just "0" when the color is something like blackhis has proven to be very stressful and this Format command makes no sense to me anymore (worked differently in 2005).For one, whatever I put in the quotes ("00") is what comes out in the text box. Butaccording to the command parameters, "00" should be the format, not the actual text! So then I tried any string format I could think of (## etc.) along with switching the order and I STILL can't figure this out.

If the "PanelText" is too long (say 50 lines), it does not appear. Sometimes it shows an empty tooltip.

View 1 RepliesSo I need a format string to pass to String.Format that would "move" the decimal point.I can't perform any math operations before doing the String.Format, so it has to work right off the bat.Basically I'm emulating a formatting string from a proprietary server. In it if I say:
"MR2"
for the value:
12345
The result is:
123.45
I'm close with this, but it's not spot on:
String.Format("{0:#0.##}", 12345)
an extra, but not necessary... there is also MR2Z, which moves the decimal 2 left, but if the value is 0 "" is returned.
When I attempt to read my Xml file when using a schema file I get the following error message:
Input string was not in a correct format.
If I delete the schema it read its fine so I am assuming something in schema file isn't matching the incoming data? How can I determine which line is creating the error?
I am making a program that shows a data of azimuth and elevation of a radar. Example:
Azimuth = 203.40
Elevation = 3.52
I need that the data will always be two number after the point. Even when the number ends with zero (203.40).But the Double by default removes the zero from the end of the number.
I am building a program for my CINS-113 class where it allows the user to enter a number 1-15 in a masked text box and then hit OK and it will display that number in a ListBox as such:
Say they enter 1...
1 X 1 = 1
1 X 2 = 2
1 X 3 = 3
...
1 X 12 = 12
I have gotten everything to work great, but when you enter anything but numbers 1-15 it properly provides a message popup telling you that your entry is basically not the right value, but then I get a build error that says "Input string was not in correct format" and it highlights my line: "intInput1 = Convert.ToInt32(strInput1)"

Is there any possibility to make this true?I mean we can't use { } as a normal text in String.Format()

View 1 RepliesHow to add decimal point (with two decimal places) to string, without converting string to decimal? For example (Dim str1 as String), regardless str1 has value: 100 , 100.0 , 100.00, or 100.5 , 100.50..I'd like to get the output: 100.00 or 100.50, with two decimal places.
View 3 RepliesI've written a little library to include in other projects that does some string parsing. One of the items I'd like to access as a property of the class is a string array.I can't seem to get the syntax right though.

As a matter of fact, I thought in VS 2010, you didn't have to use the get, sets anymore, but I can't seem to find the right example for what I'm trying to do.
I'm trying to create a sql query to search within an Access table that is showing inside a datagrid.
The search criterias used in the "where" bit are retrieved from info entered by the user in 3 textboxes and 1 DateTimePicker control.

View 5 RepliesI have developed a VB.NET (VS2005) application that performs a dependency check of VBA code to see where a selected procedure was called from. I want to add the facility to launch an application and to load the selected procedure into it's edit window. I can launch the application and, using sendkeys, I can open the application window, and the final thing is to use SendKeys to insert the function name. Now, here is the problem. Where the finction name contains parentheses, they get stripped out by SendKeys. For example where a function name is of the form "Scriptxyz(1)", then sendkeys sends the value "Scriptxyz1" to the application. I have the script name defined as a string and am using SendKeys(strName). How can I stop SendKeys from stripping out the parentheses?

I've been working with an Infragistics Ultragrid and I'm looking for a helpful hint. I'm using a table from SQL Server 2008 to populate my grid. The table that I'm calling has a column that has been updated to be something like this. "Items" + char(9) + char(9) + "Cost" + char(13) + char(10). The "Items" section of the column is padded to be 50 charcters in length followed with the two tab characters, the cost then the new line characters. Ultimately this is what the results of a single row would look like. Notice how the items and the cost are lumped into a single cell.
