View 2 RepliesI have a small form that i open from several other forms with showdialog, as a little pop-up thing.

I have a label with name "Label15" and and a button "button1" on my form.
in my code :

dim myitem = label15.text

this code does not work...when I put it in a msg box to show the error : it appears as buton1.performclick()and if I write button1.performclick() manually ,then it does the operation.I want to trigger the perform click operation from a textbox.text.

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out this error and what it means. Here is the code that is throwing the error,
For Idx = 1 To cboCallType.Items.Count - 1
[b]' If cboCallType.Items(Idx).Selected = True Then ' If Item is Selected[/b]
For I = 1 To cboCallType.Items.Count - 1 ' Set Index to look at the array
Public member 'Selected' on type 'String' not found. I'm assuming this error means you can't select a String in the combobox? I always thought you could, I'm just checking to see if one of the items were selected before moving on with the code, what other way is there to accomplish this and/or what does this error actually mean and how do I go about solving it?

i have to search a string for a few words eg, dog, cat, lion but i want regex to fail if lizard is found in the string even if it contains cat, dog or lion.ismatch(pass) "dog|cat|lion" "This is not your average cat!"ismatch (fail) ??? "This is not your average cat! It's a lizard."??? - here the regex statement is unknown word spaces and boundaries or lower/uppercase is not a concern. I run the string through Replace(" ", "").Trim(" ").ToLower before handover to Regex.
View 3 RepliesI was hoping someone could assist with the following coding; I am trying to search a very large csv file (approx 200,000 lines) for a user defined string eg "0100020789" and I essentially want to print all the lines that contain this to a text box on screen. Please not that the csv file does not have standardised column headings, each line is different. There would be approx 5 lines that contain the input string.
I am concerned with the v large csv i am using which will prob slow everything down, but then I thought if simple text pad application can search for a string in complete files with similar sizes like that and return a result in less than 1second, then it must be do-able.
I'm trying to write a function to find a word in a string in the this format : "ThisissometextthatIneedtofindandthisisthetext. This is another text."It's read as " This is some text that I need to find and this is the text. This is another text." but there is no space between each word. I want to get the word "text" or any word in that string. Can you help me with this function with a code sample ?
And I think that this method can be implemented with a string of Unicode also because in a sentence of Unicode it contains one or few, sometimes zero spaces between each word.

(using vb.net) On our intranet site we have an app that loads customer or vendor information and then allows the users to edit info and add/update/delete contacts. I'm not sure what really changed to this program lately, but I keep getting this error:
Method not found: 'Int16 DBLayer.DBTools.ExecuteNonQuery(System.String, DB)'.
This occurs when i try editing any customer info and the vendor contacts, but the program works when I try editing the vendor info/addy. Here's the program code. There's a seperate program on our webserver that contains the classes used. Here's the main code that calls the classes:

I need to find a way of finding a string within another string.
For example, I have a variable 'Topic Name' with the value 'CB Computer Basics'.
I want to be able to get just the string 'Computer Basics'. Is there a built-in function that can do this for me?
P.S The InStr() function doesn't do the job.
