1 List all of the data from Teams.txt in a Listbox. Include suitable headings.
2 List all of the data from Results.txt in the Listbox (use the same Listbox as in 1 above).Include suitable headings. Note that you cannot assume that the file contains onlyresults for the first 3 weeks of the season. Your program should be able to process a results file with more or fewer results.
3 List all of the data from Results.txt in the Listbox. However, in this case the actual team names should be output (your program will need to get this data from Teams.txt. The data should be formatted so that it is aligned correctly. Include suitable headings.
The output might look as follows:

View 9 RepliesSo, I've got three files that are auto-generated XML reponses that I need to import into my database but I'm having some serious issues with thinking this one through and then coding it (I haven't coded in quite some time). The database is an Access accdb file with table tbl_ext and fields e_FN, e_LN, e_EXT, E_LOC.I need to do the following during each routine.1) Erase all current records in the table.2) Scan each of the three files (format of the files below), pulling out the First Name (e_FN), Last Name (e_LN), Extension (e_EXT), and Location (e_LOC), for each "record" in the response file.What would the most efficient way to do this, be? As I said, I need coding help in the extreme here.An example of the file would be:
<response method="switchvox.extensions.search">

<extensions page_number="1" total_pages="1" items_per_page="500" total_items="3">

I am using VB for our entire company. Recently, we have had a need to dial into a VT220 to retrieve information from our customers. We are using ZOC terminal and it has a .dll for Visual C that lets us automate ZOC without needing a human interfacing with it.
Does anyone know anyway for a VB application to run a VC file? I highly doubt it and no one here has ever tried something like this, nor have I ever heard of anyone try this before. Just trying to see if this is even possible and if so - how...
Limitation: -We cannot restructure our company using VC (way too large)
Reason: -We import data on a daily basis but do not want to have to have someone remember everyday to run ZOC. In addition, our imports are done before anyone is in house.

I've created a help file to a program, and to test it, I've put it in BinDebug directory. It worked fine, and now I have to publish the program into a server, but it seems that the help file isn't running for the user.I'm using HelpProviders and Application.StartupPath & "help.chm" to access it. Oh, and I selected "The application is available offline as well (launchable from Start Menu)" option in Install Mode And Settings.What a I have to do to make it work? Do I have to put the help file into BinRelease?

View 1 RepliesI've just recently started noticing this crash as my program has gotten more complicated. I have a few lines that look like this in my program:
Dim alines() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:deviceinfo.txt")
The problem that I am seeing is that my program is updating these files every second, so sometimes the files are being appended and or just being replaced as it is trying to run this line. Receive the error, "File is in use or does not exist." Is there anyway to put a line of code that tells the program that if the file does not exist to check again till the file does exist.
Sort of:
If System.IO.File.exists(cstr("C:deviceinfo.txt")) then
Dim alines() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:deviceinfo.txt")
else
loop
endif
Or I read somewhere that you can use:
If Len(Dir("C:deviceinfo.txt")) < 0 Then
or
If Dir("C:deviceinfo.txt") <> "" Then
Maybe:
Loop while Len(Dir("C:deviceinfo.txt")) < 0
else Dim alines() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:deviceinfo.txt")
next
I realize the danger of having a possible never ending loop in the program, but I cant think of another way to have the program wait for data and use the data immediately as it becomes available. I looked into having a wait() sub or to do system.threading, but my rational behind not using those are because waiting for 200 ms doesnt ensure that the data actually shows up, I could still receive the error.
I have a database is SQL Server 2008 Express. I have added this database to an ASP.NET project, now I want to add the same database to a VB.NET project, however, when I try to set it up it says I need to choose a different file because it already is in use (which makes perfect sense). So how can I set the database up so ASP and VB can use at the same time?
