VS 2008 - Storing / Using Numeric Data

Oct 20, 2009

I have the book "Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step", I am in the final chapters and have completed all of the walk through and demo programs thus far. I am a beginner but I also have a basic understanding of quite a few program statements and objects. My Goal: For the sake of simplicity I will use an example. I have a Tetris game, the player loses in the first level earns 25 points they click the save score button. , they play again tomorrow and do 1,000 levels and earn 25,000, now their score is 25,025.

Then they play my blackjack game, they gain 25,025 points when they start automatically from their Tetris game, they earn 25 points in blackjack click a save score button, now they have 25,050. [Thus far I have 2 games, and they both share a score that will need to be added to in the future]

VS 2008 : Storing And Calculating Data Into Hashtable?

Dec 11, 2010

I am making a small tool that require some calculation. I am using hashtable to store values that I need to calculate. This tool continuously extract data on specific time interval(30 seconds) from webpage and add those data into the hashtable. Now the problem is I need to store the previous extraction data and when new extraction occurs, I need to deduct the previous data from new data.Here is the process I am currently following:

HTML
Dim MyTable as New Hashtable
MyTable.Add("Data1","200")
MyTable.Add("Data2","100")

[code]....

On first run it shows the result of Data3 = 100 which is currect. But on second run I need to redefine the value of Data2 = Data1 . So I need a result of Data3 = 0 on second run. This may not be the proper way to do this sort of operation. I have also tried using listbox, listview and even textfile to store the Data2 and recall that on second run.

VS 2008 Storing Custom ToolStripMenuItem Data

Mar 16, 2010

I'm trying to add functionality to my application to let user define "custom actions" in one of the context menus.Essentially, these would be command lines that can be executed against remote machines.I've got the code to add the menu items working but I'm not sure of the best of storing the data related to the menu items. At the moment I'm using a Specialized.StringCollection in the project settings but this only allows me to store a single line (i.e. the command line).This means that the text of the menu items is whatever command line the user has defined (not ideal).What I would like is to have a "friendly" name for the menu item (e.g. Start Notepad) and have that associated to notepad.exe.What's a good way to store this data so that I best dynamically build the menu items every time?

VS 2008 Storing Data In Arrays In Xml File?

Sep 3, 2009

My xml files were looking a bit clumsy when i read them, what i have done now is to save them in the xml in this format:

vb.net <field>{value1|its partner value2}</field>

i noticed {|} this is the format that vb.net uses for arrays, i was wondering if that's an ok way to store things, on retrieval once i get the node value, what would be the best way to break up the {value1|it's partner value2} variables to use, explode the | and get parts (0) and (1)?

VS 2008 Which Method Would Be Faster For Gathering And Storing Data

Nov 16, 2009

I have a simple multithread application that stores updated data from a list of websites. After each thread gathers data, it then store the data into the same text file. I am now thinking of having each thread store the data directly into a arrayList, and after a certain amount of time past, store from the arrayList to the text file. Which situation would enable the application to complete its task faster?

Numeric And Non Numeric Data?

Jan 22, 2010

I am reading a data file and storing them in an array of string.Data is random, could be like "1","2","133,18" but sometimes there can be missing values like "?".Once I load the data in the array, I want to check if at least a majority (like 60% of them) are numeric values.If yes, then I wanna track down the higher and lowest value in the array, and output a range of 5.Loop through the array

If 60% of them are numbers (integers or decimals) then find highest value, find lowest value end if produce range

If for example lowest = 1 and highest = 100, range of 5 means 0,20,40,60,80,100 (so 5 ranges are 0-20, 20-40, 40-60, 60-80, 80-100).Also if the ranges turn to have decimals due to weird numbers, I would like to round them up.My problem is, in order to find highest and lowest when there are non numeric values in the array like "?", how should I handle those? I was thinking of something like Double.NaN but I would have to have an array of doubles.

Storing Access 07 Data On VB 08?

May 2, 2011

I've linked the two using the standard data sourcing method and I now need to use the data that is read in to it on another form. The idea of this is that I'm creating a wage calculator and the employees are stored in a database and can be viewed on a vb form, however, I now need to use the data of their pay/hr to be used on another form to calculate the wage.I have tried to declare a public variable across the two separate forms, and on the button that takes you to the other to set this variable as the contents of the text box which is displaying the pay/hr using the following

Public Class ManageUsers
Public HrlyRate As Decimal 'Declaring global variable to use between forms

'Some other code in between relating to rest of the stuff on the form

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
RatePerHourTextBox.Text = HrlyRate 'Saving private variable to global variable
Calculation.Show()
End Sub
End Class

Then on the other form I have used this code to do the calculation:

Public Class Calculation
Private Sub calculation_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub

Storing Data In Listview?

Jun 23, 2011

I'm trying to learn visual basic and i've made my application all work and now I just need to make the listview save data.As far as I know, I can create a database with all the relavent tables in it for each column in the listview. For example in a database, I will have a table that will have four columns because I have a four column listview. Each row must be tied together though.

The other option is to create a text file and use some xml or seperate them with commas. which one should I go with? I'd rather do the database one, but I really have no idea how to go about it.
