VS 2008 Possible To Declare A Variable Using Text Of Lets Say A String As Name?
May 1, 2010
Is it possible to declare a variable using the text of, lets say a string, as the name?If u dont get it im looking for something like;Dim Var + string1 As PictureBox..In the code "Var" is the start of the name and "string1" is the end of it so if string1 was "Hello", the picturebox would have been named VarHello.
When working with PHP I always declared my string variable and set them equal to null just to be safe. I'm new to visual basic and am wondering what the safest way to declare a string variable is. Will
Dim strWords As String
be sufficient? Or is it better to set it to null or nothing or some other default value or primitive type?

I have an issue with variables that are used to name For-Next loops. I have had this problem in a couple programs but not consistently, i.e. some variables work, some throw a warning (not an error).
The situation is this. I declare the variable along with all my declarations in a module-
Module MainModule Public Counter1 As Integer end Module 'MainModule
[Code]....
The type for variable 'Counter1' will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of 'Counter1', or use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.Counter1' or 'MyBase.Counter1'). In the past I've always broken down and changed the names to get rid of all those ugly warnings. Sometimes I have eliminated them from being declared in the module and declared them at call time. This is not how I program and I like to keep consistency throughout.
how I can get rid of this spotty, on-and-off nonsense? There is obviously a lot I don't understand about VS and I would have never taken it up but would have stopped 3 languages ago if I weren't forced into bulkier and bulkier languages (sorry about the rant. I feel OK now).
How can i declare a simple variable in a form that is the count of the amount of times a field appears in a database.Basically i want to count the amount of times the word "Saloon" appears in a column in my database (access 2007) and then assign that value to a variable.
How do I read all the text from a text file and save it as a string variable? For some reason I remembered it being something like this: IO.FromFile.ReadAllText("path") but thats not it.
And i got a listview that is on detailed...When i press a button: for each row listview item add.So the listview items will be 3 items, 1 item per row in the textbox thats on multiline.
These is the content of my txt file which is saved in D drive in my pc abc,1,2,3..I tried the flowing but it didn't work:[code]I am getting error on this line.. data = line.Split(","c)...it says this line isn't in use anymore or something and that I rather use LineInput but thats asks for filenumber and i don't know what that is. I am sorry but I am a complete beginner. what else can I try? [code]ok that error is gone now but now if I want to add these values to a list box..how can i do that?
I have a form with 2 controls, a textbox and a button. The user will type text into the textbox and then when they click the button the text that they entered will be added to a List Collection. You can see the code below. There is just 1 problem. Where would I put my declaration of my List Collection so that it holds the values and does not start at the first element everytime the button is clicked?[code]
I have just a few questions about the listview control,how do messegebox sub items lets say row2 col 2 and why cant (at run time) I select items in col 2 but only col 1.
I have been debugging my code for a while and looking at posts in other forums, but it seems to be that everyone has a different problem than mine and what works for them will not work for me.My dropdown list is supposed to filter a gridview by choosing all the Companies that are associated to a certain product. The solution I have found online is that most people did not have DataKeyNames set in their gridview. I do have this set, but not to CompanyID. It wouldn't make any sense. So I have no idea what I am supposed to do since this is the only answer I have found.
How do you declare a variable as a Date and initialize it with a date before year 1. I would like to caluate historical BC dates using a fuction that returns the ellaspt time.
I've used this line of code however I can't to work setting the date value to a negative.
I have searched online for a few hours to try to figure out how to do this, but nothing I found really makes sense, so could someone please tell me, in a simple way, how to do this?
Let's say I have a text box that the user fills out, named textbox1. And I have a combo box, named combobox1, which contains the choices A, B, C. And then I have a button named submit_button.
Each time that the user clicks submit_button, I would like to dynamically create a new variable. This variable should be named the same as textbox1.text, and should contain the value of combobox1.
For example, if the user types "blue" into textbox1, and chooses value "C" from combobox1, and then clicks submit_button... then the following variable should be dynamically created, like..Dim blue as String = "C"
And then, after that, if the user types "red" into textbox1, and chooses value "B" from combobox1, and then clicks submit_button... then another variable should be dynamically created, like...
Dim red as String = "B"
And each time the user submits new information into the textbox and combobox, a new variable should be created.Is it possible to have the program automatically create variables like this? If so, how?
My actual project is much more complicated than this, of course, so the above is just an example. But if I could figure out how to solve the problem in this example, I could figure out how to solve the entire project.
I'm trying to make a message box appear, I don't want to have to declare the message box as a variable, And I don't want it to be in it's own Sub!I just want it to print (variable) S, It's in a sub. Just not sure of the structure of that code. Just a really quick example
I am working on an alarm system software, which is SMS-based. I am using a GSM modem to receive the SMS when a client's premise security devices are triggered. The types of SMS text received will be like for e.g. "fire alert"(when devices triggers), "fire clear"(when devices are 'reset').
My program can detect real and false alarm, it works this way, i will input a premise site-map on a picture box at the main GUI, i can then create buttons at run-time and drag them to the respective position on the map. The buttons created have their text set as the client's block number referred to the database. So basically, a button represent a client. When a device in the client's premise is triggered, a SMS will be sent and my GSM modem will receive it, process the SMS and the button representing the client will start 'flashing' showing that the client's premise is under danger. Then when the button is clicked, which acts as an acknowledgement, will display the client's information on labels and turning that specific button to red color. Finally, when the device is 'resetted' in the client's premise, it will send another SMS to my GSM modem, after processing, the button will be back to normal.
But my program has detect false alarms also, the first part is similar to mentioned above, client's premise security device triggers, SMS sent, SMS received by GSM modem, process SMS, button 'flashing'. Secondly, if the alarm is false, it will be automatically 'resetted' or the client may 'reset' it, then a SMS will be sent to my modem, turning the button to 'flashing' green in color. when 'acknowledged' will display the client's info and the button will become normal.
The problem here i am facing is during the processing of the SMS, because the real and false alarms both will receive the 'clear' SMS when during some stages, but the functions are different and of course the 'checking' for both functions will be different too. The problem occurs at the checking process whereby the 'btn' variable is not detected.
'Try 'AT commands to receive SMS serialPort.Write("AT+CMGL=""REC UNREAD""" & vbCrLf) 'set command message format to text mode(1)
Later on i have a form where a cost for a class is calculated by timing the duration of a class by the costperhour textbox which is in a different form.
