I'm a bit new to these forums but anyways let me get to the point. I'm trying to make a Unit Conversion Program on VB 08 and I am trying to make it so I don't use too many radio buttons, however I may use it if there is no other option. And I also have to make the program do it both ways
For Example I want to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and Celsius to Fahrenheit in the same textbox or some sort of box.
Does anyone have a nice sample of a unit convertor handling multiple unit types that I can integrate in my application? I have found this one, but it is only handling one type of unit. For example I want to convert weight as well as volume from and to imperial units.
View 8 Repliesi am new to VB and am trying to make a metric to imoerial unit converter in VB 2008. I have created a form with 2 list box's with MM, CM, KM etc ....... and the other Inches Miles etc I have added 2lables with convert from and convert to and also 2 blank text box's the first one to choose the number i would like to convert and another to show the converted unit, I have also added a convert button.I am really struggling to find the correct code to make this work.
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to make a unit converter that converts between km, m, cm, miles, yards, feet, and inches. I have a textbox that is used to input the value to convert followed by a space and the units (i.e., 56 km) and a second textbox where the user types what unit they want to convert to (i.e., cm). When converting, the output will be displayed in the second textbox. (I know this is complicated, but this is the way it is to be done). I am doing this using sub and function procedures and If blocks and Select Case blocks (i.e., keeping it as simple as possible).

View 5 RepliesI have written one application which communicate with one data logger unit (temperature monitoring unit) and download records after some interval. Unit continuously send current temperature which I have to show on screen and after each one hour I have to download log (all records saved inside unit at max 1024) from unit.
Now problem is after downloading log, application get hang or what we called working in background and resume after some time. If I pause debugger in visual studio 2008 it show control at application start (sub main) with message as "application will resume here after completing execution of current function". There is nothing in output window. So how can i trace is there any events got spool or what actually application doing in background.
i'm trying to make a converter, i have 4 textboxes, 2 of them are encode, the other 2 are decoders.
on the encode process i use:
[code...]
I want it to be decoded when a button is pressed, because I cant use the KeyPress or KeyDown function because it will most likely be copy-pasted.
how would i do that, for instant the char A Will be converted from "W11" to "A".
Now i know there is a function called Convert, but i have no idea on how it works or if it even is proper for this task.

View 6 RepliesIm trying to make a program which basically performs unit conversion. I have basically made two text boxes, one for the S.I. Units and the other for British Units. The general idea is that when i input any number in the S.I. Unit text box, it should display the answer in British Unit text Box and similiarly if i input any number in British Unit Textbox, the answer should be displayed in S.I.Unit textbox. Now the problem lies here that the code that i created is by using if else. now the compiler automatically gives me the correct result in the British box when i input the value in the s.i. unit box, but when i input the value in the british text box, it gives an error that :
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
Additional information: Conversion from string "" to type 'Double' is not valid."
Heres the part of the code.
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I am working on a school project to make a temperature converter that when fahrenheit is entered into textbox1 and then tabbed, the conversion to celsius, rankine, and kelvin is displayed in textbox 2,3, and 4.My instructor showed me how to input the code for this, but it isn't working correctly. I know I need more code to get this right but I am a newbie to programming and my instructor doesn't insruct very well. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to finish this coding? This is what I have so far:

So i decided to make a units converter for my term's project and my teacher insisted on including the combo box in this project. I'm not really familiar with the combo box as i am still a beginner in visual basic. I've looked around and learned a bit about using the combo box but later i faced a problem. First i created a Main combo box and placed it in the middle of the form. I managed to use the select case command to make other combo boxes appear and disappear as i wish. I don't really know how to describe the problem, i want to make it that if i choose the input as a unit and the output is any other unit from two different combo boxes, the value in the input text box would be multiplied by a certain conversion factor and the result will be shown in the output text box.

At the moment im tryng to create a celcious to fahrenheit i already got the formula and so i put it into visual basic. My goal is to create a programm with two textboxes
one celcious and the other one fahrenheit.[code...]
THen i realized that loop is created because if i write 12 in celcious it outputs to fahrenheit which outputs back to celcious ecc.. infact when i debug it says
Make sure you do not have an infinite loop or infinite recursion .I would like to have a programm with 2 textboxes. If in one i put 12 then the respective fahrenheit comes out; If in fahrenheit i put 55 then the respective celcious comes out.
after numerous google searches and comparing excerpts from different peoples' various codes I could not get this program to work, though I came quite close. I'm attempting to make a program that will tell me the time in different parts of the world, a personal use program that I thought would help me exercise my vb skills.
The problem I'm having, however, is that when it should be showing my time it is either 5 hours ahead or 5 hours behind. I tried adding variables and deleted them again time and time again trying to make adjustments but all I managed to do was make the timer get stuck at 12:00:00 AM.

I'm running some unit tests for a large VB.Net application I help maintain and am running into problems with tests timing out. The test run is set up so that there's no timeout limit on the overall test run, but a limit of 2 minutes per individual test. However, a couple of the tests take a lot longer than this to run, so we tried adding the timeout attribute to the test's declaration, i.e
<TestMethod(), Timeout(15 * 60 * 1000)> Public Sub DoSomething()
for a 15 minute timeout. However, the 2 minute timeout set in the test run properties seems to be taking precedence, even though it says that the timeout attribute should override it.
I am trying to create a unit test similar to how I would have done one in C# but am struggling with the lambdas in vb. Bascially I am trying to mock a class and then create a stub and return. In C# I would have done something like;
MockedPersonRepository
.Stub(x => x.Find(id))
.Return(person)
