I want to store say like 8 values, that in the end will be combined into one string. What's the best way to store them? They should be reached in a own namespace I did. In a separate .vb file. I want to able to edit them. The values are both text and numbers. So whats the best way according to you?
View 3 Repliesi think its hard to explain, but here we go.I have a combobox, where you should be able to add item (in this case colors/Hexcode selected from colordialog).So lets say we have 3 items in that combobox:and if you pick blue, the color blue should apper in a background color.I can only get names to work, but i cant find out how to store the hex value data.
View 6 RepliesI have come up with this 2 methods of reading all records on a database table. Both work nice but I would like your expert opinion on which delivers best performance and why.We are reading table "DATA" and filling an array called lstData with the contents of the "Data" field.
1) Method one is using the bindingsourse to go through all the records.

My guess is that the first method, while simpler to the eye could use more overhead. What I really would like to know is if the second method really delivers better performance and if it is worth doing all the manual SQL queries.

I'm trying to convert old code to VB in VS2005. The code I'm working on is used to store values in a string, which will then be handed to a proprietary scramble function. This function is a given in this case. I've already switched from a string to an array of bytes in my .NET code.
The old code (VBA) was using a string value to store the data, example function for Double value:
Private Function DoubleToStr(ByVal value As Double) As String
Dim Bytes(7) As Byte ' 0-7 Double is 8 bytes
Dim n As Long
CopyMemory(Bytes(0), value, 8)
DoubleToStr = ""
For n = 0 To UBound(Bytes)
DoubleToStr = DoubleToStr & Chr(Bytes(n))
Next n
End Function
The code basically copies the memory contents (using API call CopyMemory) of the memory (held by the double variable) to the memory held by a byte array. It then reads the byte array and converts it into a string. Workarounds could be to convert a bool or long to a string, though that would be expensive in terms of memory/storage eg. 1234564787 would be 10 bytes in a string where as a long is only 4 bytes (factor 2.5 increase).
How to retain the original precision? Converting it to a string would result in endless numbers. Another problem (at least I think it could be) is that in VBA the variables are rather simple, but in .NET they are all objects, so how to retrieve the actual memory location of the value? let alone garbage collection moving stuff around. How to get those variables stored in my byte array?

My problem is this wehen i add new record to my db it saves values like this the value of read column is as follows read = 1 when check box is checked and read = 0 when check box is checked but i want to save true or false instead 1 and 0 how to achieve this using vb.net and my db is Oracle.
I built a small website and there will be only one admin, so in the admin panel I am asking for a password with a value that I do not retrieve from a database, I just hard coded it in the function in code behind, I know this is wrong though I don't know why.
So is hard coding it in web.config the right thing to do? and how?

I have a database in my app which loads and displays some information on a form by binding the Comboboxes and Textboxes. However, I need to get some of the other values from the database for calculations before they are displayed on the form and I can't seem to find out how to do this.I could bind a couple of Textboxes to the database and then use those values to calculate, but it doesn't seem like a very efficient way of doing things.The dataset is created using the wizard and the controls are linked in the UI.
Please bear with me, I'm still a noob.
My application sends information from Form1 to Form2 by means of a global variable on Form1 whose value is read by Form2.
This variable is basically used to tell Form2 what it has to do because it's value will change depending on different conditions.
All form2 is meant to do is load data from a database into DataSets which will "ported" to Form1 (the main form) for consumption. I use a Form for this rather than a class because there's a lot of data that will be loaded each time it's visible and I wanted[code]...

What it does is it loops through once and retrieves the first value from the db then it throw the exception when it goes to retrieve the second value.

I have a WPF form that takes a list of objects that have locations and sizes and plots them on the canvas. I'm currently trying to implement an undo button that will throw out all the changes that have been made to the positions of the objects and revert back to the original collection that was retrieved when the form loaded.
As it stands now I go out to the database on the load of the form and get all the objects that will need to be displayed then assign the list that is returned to two seperate collections. The problem that comes up is that the two collections are actually pointers to the original collection and whenever one is changed the changes are reflected in the second collection.
Is it possible to copy a list of objects so that changes made to one collection won't affect the secondary collection?
So far I've tried simply using the assignment operator, passing the source collection into a function byval and scrolling through each element of the list manually adding it to the second collection and using linq to get all the objects from the original list and pushing the results to a separate temporary list and assigning the second collection to the temporary list.
I feel like I'm overcomplicating the issue but almost all the places I've come across while googling say that this behavior is by design, which I understand but it seems like this would be a fairly common idea.

The total of the 5 payrolls are then added together and shown in the respective Store's labels. A total label is also there to add up all the totals into one number. The numbers in the label must be in currency form. My problem is the numbers don't add correctly when I hit calculate. The first two numbers add together, but then after that the number just seems to subtract a random amount.

In my example, i use a class array to which I assign values looping through textboxes in my form. Using the button Store (btnStore) the values are perfectly assigned to the array (i use an msgbox to check).The problem is that when i created another button (btnTest) to test if these values can be read outside the btnstore code, I get an error (NullReferenceException unhandled) which informs me to use the new keyword (cannot be used with arrays).I suppose the same applies when trying to access the array from another form. The question is how can i assign the values to the array "forever" and be accessed from "everywhere" in my program ?(tried public, friend, redim preserve the array with no luck).
