View 1 RepliesI'm a new VB programmer, although I have a decent background in java.Anyways, I'm learning VB and I'm trying to read data from an Excel file using VB 2008 and can't figure out how to accomplish this. I can't seem to get any data from the Excel spreadsheet to display in a simple Windows form. Also, there's a decent amount of data in the spreadsheet so I was wondering if it makes sense to just read data as needed from the excel spreadsheet or if there was some type of data structure that I could import the entire Excel spreadsheet into and do my analysis from there.
View 1 RepliesI am having some trouble thinking of a way to do this, what i have is an .xml file loaded and data read from it and used in my application, the thing is the data varies in each .xml for example:
vb.net
Dim XMLD As New Xml.XmlDocument
'// Find and load the XML file
XMLD.Load("Debug/xForm.xml")
[code]....
The fields vary on application execution, there maybe 5 fields with data one time, then 13 the next etc, if only 5 fields have been written to the xml and i load them all like above i get an error (because that data hasn't been written)is there a way to load the data dynamically based on how many fields have been written kinda thing?
Say I have the data below:
Dim dateToday As Integer = 16
Dim dayToday As String = "Thursday"
Dim monthToday As String = "April"
[code].....
I am using this
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter

i would like to know a method that can read data via rs232 ( i use pic 18f452 to send 5 values(pression, temperature, current, voltage and solar radiation ) of Adc conversion )i successed to read one value at first ( sending one value via pic) , but i couldn't read more than one at end
so, question is how to do that ? how to separate between the data?

View 3 RepliesIs there a way to set BitConverter to produce Int32 values from BigEndian-encoded bytes?I feel like there might be a way to temporarily "set" the encoding to BigEndian before calling BitConverter, but I haven't figured it out.Right now I'm just reversing the 4 bytes before calling BitConverter, I guess I could create my own function that adds the bytes with the appropriate multiplier, but it seems a little inelegant if it can be done simply with BitConverter.
View 3 RepliesI have a text file that the first part of my program writes data to, but for this second section, I need to read that file and use pieces of that data and average them out. The text file is setup up with 90 lines of data starting with the first 9 lines containing data and the 10th is a blank space. I need to read line 6, 8, and 9. I need to Loop through the file so I am using the Do While Loop. Where I am confused is when using the For...Next Loop to tell the program to read a specific line. If you have any info that can lead me to the answer that would be great. I would prefer you just point me in the right direction because I would very much like to somewhat figure it out in the process.

Can any one provide me the link or give me an idea how to read all the tables returned by SQL Stored Procedure?
My Stored procedure returns two tables:
ID Name
-----------
1 Jeff
2 Joe
ID Pages

1 2
i want to read data from both of these tables. I tried using SQLDataReader and then populating into datatables but then i can only read the values of 1st table. I want to read both the table values. How do i do it? please let me know if you guys have any ideas how to deal with this.
My program so far reads a certain webpage's source code and places it in a textbox. This much has already been accomplished.
Now I need to pick certain strings out of the rather large amount of text data and have the lines stored in variables, but the trick of it is, the exact string is unknown. The exact function should be, that the code finds certain tags from the source code, say <td> and </td> and takes the string data in between those tags, what ever it may be.

I'm working on an application that takes certain outlook email messages, saved as text files, and loads data from them into a database. It would be better if I could read the messages from the inbox directly into my app without the user having to save them as text files. I've searched the web and every example I find is from 2003 or earlier and is using VB6. I'd like to read both Outlook and Outlook Express Inboxes. Can someone either provide me with the code to do this or a good "recent" link with a tutorial?
View 3 RepliesI have a modbus TCP device that I have managed to connected to through my VB source code.
I want to poll (continueously read) data from certain registers of the device, and store the polled data in a file (text,csv, excel).
Data binding should be an extremely simple thing to manage but I can't find a SIMPLE solution to the following problem.
I have two forms
Form1 contains a 4x4 MSFlexGrid (unfortunately an unmanaged COM object but I can merge cells, which I can't do with a managed Datagrid)
Form2 contains other controls which change the data in the Flexgrid.
I connect the two with a Public 4x4 array. Form2 changes the data in this array. I can update the grid data by reading the array. But how do I bind the Grid to the array so that it auto-updates - which is the whole point of binding isn't it?
I am reading data from a socket (as bytes) and storing this data in a string. Then later i need to access specific bytes within the string and do some math with them. However the bytes that I read back from the string are not what I am expecting.

I've been asked to prepare a proposal for a client for a new development. The finished product will require copying of personal DVDs, e.g. a wedding or christening video, to AVI or similar format.

I am working in VB.NET 2003 and here is the issue of the day (for me):
I have an application which is supposed to read data from a CSV file one line at a time then pick out the 9th item ( a number) in the line and then add these numbers together for a total. The problem is the routine does not get beyond the first line. The code is as follows:
Dim total As Decimal = 0
Dim reader As StreamReader
Try
[Code]....
How do I get this routine to advance to the next line of the CSV file and continue to do so until it has read the last line?

If possible, I would also like to make a listbox of all the servers/realms in World Of Warcraft, giving the user the ability to change the realm that they want from the list because the prices will be different. Another thing would be a specific item instead of the ones already listed in the initial table (see link if you don't understand). You can search items on the website, I'm not sure how I could incorporate this so the user can select a specific item.
