VS 2008 Making A Calculator Using Arguments And Functions?
May 6, 2009
Ok. I just took my final for VB and the last chapter we did was on procedures and functions. Functions was the only thing out of this whole semester that I was just completely lost. I'm trying to work on this cause I'm taking Advanced VB next so I wanna know what I'm doing. So I'm trying another tutorial in the book and I'm really lost. Here is what the it wants you to do.
Retail Price Calculator
Write an application that accepts from the user the wholesale cost of an item and its markup percentage. (For example, if an item's wholesale cost is $5 and its retail price is $10, then the markup is 100%)
The program should contain a function named CalculateRetail that receives the wholesale cost and markup percentage as arguments, and returns the retail price of the item.
When the user clicks the Get Retail button, the program should do the following:Verify that the values entered by the user for the wholesale cost and the markup percent are numeric and not negative. Call the CalculateRetail function Display the retail cost as returned from the function.
Here's what the calculator looks like and my code so far.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub btnRetail_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRetail.Click
[Code].....

I have to write a program that allows users to specify two numbers and then adds, subtracts or multiplies them when the user clicks on the appropriate button. The out put should give the aritmatic performed and the result. I inserted an attachment on what it should look like also Public Sub btnCompute_Click() Handles btnCompute.Click " here at this one I am getting an error message Error 1 Statement is not valid in a namespace. C:\Users\Tiffney\Desktop\School projects\WindowsApplication1\Form1.vb 1 1 WindowsApplication1"

Well I am a new to VB.NET, converting a legacy system to .NET world. Recently I have been reviewing the already existing code since I joined the project quite late in the team. I find that there are many shared functions (not shared class) inside many classes. I doubt this may create some problem if two requests ( i.e two different HTTP request to the same method as it's a WCF application, of course exposed methods are not shared but internally called methods are shared) comes to the same shared method and both the calls to the method may have different method parameters/arguments, overwriting each other's arguments. In short, if shared method has a list of arguments which is going to be processed, is there any chance of inconsistencies in the light of multiple access to the shared method via two http requests.

What I am trying to do is have a class where the functions of the same name are both instance functions and shared functions.
Public Shared Function Get...(byval xx as xx)
and
Public Function Get...
The Public Function uses a Property xx created in the constructor, whereas the Shared Function has the parameters (byval xx as xx).

I'm trying to make a calculator application. Just as practice, as I'm new to visual basic (.NET 4.0) coding. I've got this so far.
[code]...
Note, I've not programmed it to do operations yet, I'm trying to get this sorted out first. My issue is, when I enter my numbers, they do not store as a variable, they both store as zero.

making a general functions class library that will be used in several applications and asp pages, sometimes running at the same time.I've looked at a lot of samples on the web and they all show you to create an instance of the classlibrary namespace or the classlibrary class.
IE.
dim obj2 as new mycompany.mynamespace.myclass
dim n2 as integer
n2 = obj2.somefunction(...)
What I did was create my class library and put a class in it and declared a function as sharred, then created my dll.I don't have to create an instance of it and I can use it like the net framework by just coding
n2 = mycompany.mynamespace.myclass.somefunction(...).
The net framework does this, I mean once I imports it I don't have to make an instance of it in every function.All the samples I've seen about class libraries do not use the shared keyword.

This is my first time programming with visual basic, but the GUI I'm trying to create isn't complicated. So ,after looking at the tutorial for a bit, I got started.What I'm trying to do is run a c++ program which I created, but I'm making the GUI so that other people can use it easily.The c++ program needs arguments, so I have to text boxes on my GUI that will contain those arguments. One is a file path and another is an integer.I'm trying to run the .exe file for my c++ program with a shell script, but I can't get the syntax right.I don't want anything ecial I just want to run the program and pass it arguments. Here is what I have:I'm trying to use a shell command, as you can see.I can run the program from the visual studio 2008 command prompt by typing "cl DataRedux2.cpp" to compile and "DataRedux2.exe" to run.

I'm making a program that can take arguments and run cmd line style. I'm trying to think of a good way to sort and check the arguments. I currently split the arguments into an array and use a loop to assign them to variables.[code]That works but would seriously mess up if someone left out anything. I want to know if anyone has any tips on how to parse the incoming arguments. I always like making my scripts idiot proof, cause at times i mess stuff up.

I have a function which has multiple arguments, but takes around 30 seconds to complete. Is it at all possible to put it under a thread?
VB.NET
Private Overloads Function XLSParse(ByVal WorkBook As String, ByVal CellFrom As String, ByVal CellTo As String) As Boolean
[Code].....
And it runs fine because it doesn't have any arguments. So is it possible to run a function on a seperate thread if it has arguments?

How would I run an executable with arguments like you can add to a shortcut? Such as:
"C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonarma 2arma2.exe" -window
I want to create a program where I can select these arguments from a list, press a button, and away you go, without having to type them yourself.
Is there any way other than creating a shortcut and then running it?

in my calculator script I'm trying to build I have a putton for pi, named Pi. The text on the button is pi. This is where the problem is. Up until now I've just been adding the value of the button to what I call the DisplayScreen (The textbox that outputs your answers), but Pi is not a number. And I want the value of the button to be Pi, not 3.14 whatever. This is what I have for the Pi

just Addition only at this time each number 0 to 9 have this code[code].....here what he says..Write the code for the equals button. There's only three lines in total, and here's a little help.
You need to use the other variable that was set up at the top of the coding window, total2. The variable total1 will be added to whatever is total2.The first line of code will be this
total2 = total1 + (something missing here)
Your job is to supply the missing code. In other words, replace "(something missing here)"
Remember that total1 contains the first number to be added. And you know where that came from. The only thing left to do is to add the second number.For the second line of code, you need to transfer the total2 variable to the textbox.For the third line of code, all you are doing is resetting the variable total1 to zero. That's because after the equals button has been pressed, we have finished adding up. If you wanted to do some more adding up, that total1 will still hold the value from the last time. If you reset it to zero, you can start adding some new numbers.

I was trying to make a calculator which takes the amont of copies you want to make and it tells you the cost. Then you type in the amount you want to enter and if its less a message box comes up saying "please enter more money". I've had a few problems
1. when i use formatcurrency the program crashes for no apparent reason
2. if i calculate cost without entering any copies then it crashes (ive tried putting a msgbox in but it crashes anyway)
3. if i get the msgbox to come up saying "Please enter more money" i had to remove the formatcorrency tag.

1) Is it possible to access the Excel mathematical functions without actually opening Excel?
I was thinking of through a DLL WinAPI call or maybe a delegate function or smaller program?
2) Does anyone know of a MS link or area that gives instruction on "how to" use every function of every Windows DLL at all?
Or for all those that Microsoft have chosen to document online at least.

I need to pass a file's name as an argument and a switch to the executable I'm using.I'm doing it like this:
vb.net
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-z ""C: est.txt"""
I'll know where the files are that I need to grab, but I won't always know the exact names. So, I thought I could grab a collection of the files, store them in a variable, and then pass them as an argument.I tested it with one file like this:
vb.net
Dim File As New System.IO.FileInfo("C:...Desktop est.txt") Dim proc As New Process proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "..." proc.StartInfo.FileName = "....exe" proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-z" & File & "additional arugments" proc.Start() proc.WaitForExit()
But, as you all may already know, I can't use the & operator with a string and FileInfo.Would I have to then convert the FileInfo to a string first and then pass it through?

It works fine if I just specify the executable path with no arguments. But if I pass the arguments then Outlook says it can't find the file. Here is the line that I add to the email message body to start the exe only:
