Variable Replace In Strings
Jul 15, 2010I'm creating a method to replace variables in strings, I'm going to share an example of how I'm replacing values and can see short falls in how what I'm doing. Here's a stripped down example of what I'm doing. It replaces a variable with the date specified, so %today(-1) would give me yesterday, %today(2) would give me two days from now.

Apr 6, 2009Quote:
I have been working on a homework assignment and I am having problems with it. Okay here is my final code. I declare a variable that is not used yet. I am wondering if I need to use the index to somehow fix this issue with the consonants. Maybe I need to nest another if, then or do some kind of comparison to figure out if the word begins with a consonant then tell it to move the consonants to the end
'you know something like this below, but this is not my final code yet:
determine if origninalWord begins with a consonant
determine how many consonants there are before you reach the first vowel
If originalWord begins with 1 consonant
[CODE]...
But I do not know the proper way to code the begining in red color text the last two sections work for vowels and numbers. Here is my new code.
Code:
'Gail Amalfitano
'date modified: April 1,2,4,5,6 (date created 3/27/09)
'This program is for converting words or strings to pig latin. The user enters what they want converted,'hits the converter button and views the pig latin version of their entry.

Way To Concatenate List Of Strings Into A Comma-separated Strings, Where Strings Are Members Of An Object?
Oct 16, 2009Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?

Jan 10, 2011Say that i have the following code that parse about 20k records from the DB.
Code #1
vb.net While reader.Read()
list.Add(If(Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, 0), Integer.Parse(reader(0).ToString), 0))
End While
And then another code which does the very same thing but it seems to be a little cleaner.
Code #2
vb.net While reader.Read()
Dim storeowner As Integer = 0
Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, storeowner)
list.Add(storeowner)
End While
This is what i am confused about; does the compiler creates a new variable automatically when i use the if statement without strictly declared variable? What approach is better in sense of performance?

VS 2010 : Using Strings In Enums?
Jan 9, 2012Is there a way to use strings in Enums like the example below:

End Enum
It seems like you can only use integers for the underlying values.
VS 2010 Get The Text Between Two Strings?
Sep 28, 2011I guess my question has two parts:
1. My program has to read text out of a text file. I use some HTML tags to preserve the formatting. For example, I might have the line "this is a <b> line </b> of <b> text </b>" where "line" and "text" are bold. How do I make it so the string prints to a RichtextBox, but only "line" and "text" are bold? I would use a RichTextbox.SaveFile method, but the program works by reading a group of richtextboxes in a flowlayoutpanel and appending them to a single text file.
2. How would I extract the text from between two strings? For instance, I have created special tags for use in my program. These tags tell the program where to add controls. Say my string was:
"[IMG= "dog.jpg" /] this is a picture of a dog. [IMG= "cat.jpg"] this is a picture of a cat."
For each occurrence of the string "[IMG=", I would need it to find the corresponding "/]" and extract the text between the two. I could maybe do something with a substring function. I don't know.

VS 2010 Create Objects From Strings?

VS 2010 Drawing Strings On A New Image?
Oct 18, 2010My goal is actually very simple: I simply want a (shared) function that accepts a List(Of String) which creates an image and writes those strings (line by line) onto the image. There's a bit more to it than that, but for the sake of example this is all you need to know.Usually when drawing on an image I would create a Bitmap object and get the graphics object from Graphics.FromImage:
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(100, 100)
Using g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
g.FillRectangle(...)
[code]....
Seems easy enough, but the problem is that I don't know how many strings there will be in the list, nor how long they will be. The image should 'scale itself' according to the strings in the list. If the list contains 5 strings it should be 5 strings high (plus a little extra for borders). If the list contains only 1 string it should be only one string high. Same goes for the width, if the longest string is 150 pixels, the image needs to be at least 150 pixels (160, 170 or something).
This is all good, I can get the dimensions of the strings by using Graphics.MeasureString. The problem now is that I need the dimensions of the image to create the bitmap. I need the Graphics object to get the dimensions. But, I need the bitmap to get the Graphics object I'm stuck in a loop here, if I don't have the Graphics object (I can't create it from nothing..) then I cannot measure the strings, but if I cannot measure the strings then I cannot determine how large my image will be, so I cannot create a bitmap and associated Graphics object...
VS 2010 Make An Enum Of Strings?
Feb 20, 2012I would like to make an enum of strings. There are several masks for text boxes that I would like to standardize in our system.For simplicity lets say there are 2 masks:
"PhoneNumber" which is "(999)000-0000"
"Zip Code" which is "00000-9999"
I would like to be able to reference these through out the entire program in a manner such as:
DefaultMasks.ZipCode or DefaultMasks.PhoneNumber
Since enums can not be of string type, what would your best suggestions be as to how I could do this. I had thought about a class with constants in it but I was not sure how to implement that properly.
VS 2010 Null And Zero Length Strings?
Mar 14, 2011This is related to my last question.Even though Access considers Nulls and zero-length strings (ZLS) separate values, often developers wish to treat them as equivalent for the sake of an If...Then statement or some other stretch of code. One way to accomplish this is to write code like this:
