Controls: textbox, combobox and button
I want to have a condition to find out if the value I enter in the textbox exists in the combobox. The combobox reads a text file.
I am filling a listview control with a big number of items but i came across an problem, the repeated values. In those items i use .Text and .Tag so i can relate some hidden values per item. I have been trying to use the items.find() with no luck since it looks like to search for keys, which i don't really have. Every item has different .Tag values but it can happens that they have the same .Text Is there any way to remove or just not add items based on a .Text search in the ListView?

I am using VS 2008 and MySQL. Which one of the following methods is efficient or a proper one to check if record exists or not before making an attempt to insert.
1. HasRows Property.
2. Select Where Exists
3. Select Count(*)
Or if there is any other appropriate method ( which i am not aware of ) available to do it in vb.net ?

I am trying to create a function that will determine if a worksheet within the active workbook exits. I have searched many web sites without any luck. Here is the coding I have currently:
HTML
Function SheetExists(ByVal sheetname As String) As Boolean
Dim oWorkbook As Excel.Workbooks
[Code]....
It errors out at Dim oWorksheet As Excel.Worksheet = oWorkbook.Sheets(sheetname).
The error message I am getting is "Object variable or With block variable not set."
At the moment when a user logs into my system it checks to see if a job exists, if so the records are put into a datagridview. However, if there are no jobs in the database I get an error.

looking at the code below I have a form that is inserting data from text boxes and a datetimepicker into my database.If Date.text and Shift.text already exist in a row then UPDATE instead of INSERT a new row?

How can I make it that if a file exists, it will rename it with the exact name, but with a number by it? For example, my program takes a picture and names it "screenshot." I want it to make it say "screenshot1," if "screenshot" is already used, and so on. This is what I tried, but didn't work.
Dim name as String = "Screenshot"
If File.Exists("C:This" & name & ".png") Then
screenshot.Save("C:This" & name + 1.ToString & ".png",

View 5 RepliesHow do I check if an HTML element exists? This element will only "show" on a certain event. ex: numbers in a non-number textbox or something. I tried
If WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByName("ElementName")
But that won't work, because the element "is in" the HTML, even though the page doesn't show it yet.
see if an object is already in a generic List(Of T) than the way I am currently doing it? The way I do it at the moment is like so:I have a method that I call each time I want to check to see if an object exists in the list (if it already exists I do not want to add it again) and the list to check is passed in to this method along with the item that should be added to it:
[Code]...
So as you can see this function just loops through the list that was passed in and if the DisplayName property of one of the items in the list is the same as the ProgramName argument that was passed in to the method as well then it returns True to indicate that this program is already in the list.I thought about using a Predicate with the List.Find method but cant see how I would get it to work because that predicate method will not have any way of referencing the list (its a method local list, not class level)
Just like the title says, I have a webbrowser and I need to determine if the element exists or not before I invoke it.

I've tried setting both command- and connection timeout for my connector, but it still hangs sometimes.Does it exist some kind of timeout block? Like, if the command hasn't been executed within X seconds, then continue.

What is the best way to validate whether or not information exists in a datagrid. Let me give a situation.
What I'm trying to do here is allow the user to search and sort the dgv based off of the character or string that is he/she inputs into a textbox. The things I want to validate are:
The textbox is not blank, and if not blank has valid information. (easy enough)
The dgv has actually been populated from the dataset!!!!!
The second I can't seem to nail down, regardless of what I use. I have tried using rowcollections, columns.count(), cell, item, and a few other properties all of which either get skipped over by my if statements or throw an index is out of range error.

I have 2 listboxes on my form.Listbox 1 - populated with "available" field namesListbox 2 - populated with "selected" field names.There cannot be the same field name in both listboxes - it's either one of the other.The logic I was going to apply was to populate Listbox 1 with every field name ... and then as I populated Listbox with the field names which the user has already selected, remove the corresponding item from Listbox 1.
