VS2008 Query - Modify Code To Search For Items Containing Specified Characters

Jul 3, 2010

SELECT ContactID, FirstName, LastName, Male, Female, Email, Address
FROM Contact
WHERE (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%')

The above query works and returns values on first names that begin with whatever item I type in a text box.

How can I modify that code to search for items containing specified characters instead of just searching for items that begin with the specified characters. I would still need to use a wildcard because it is a search field. see below for an example

For example can I query the FirstName column to display people who's name contain the letters "an" in that order a before n but anywhere within the word e.g.

- Anna
- Jane
- Samantha

Mar 1, 2009

In VS2008 (VB.NET) when you type Public Property X As SomeType and press enter, VS auto-generates the rest of that property definition for you.

I would like to be able to customize what VS generates. Any thoughts on how to go about that? VS must have a template for it somewhere, eh?

Modify Code From Existing SerialPort?

Sep 21, 2009

I've seen this great example of serial communication in VB.NET[URL]..I try to use it in a project I am working on but somethings are not clear to me.1: Now the send and received data is shown in one RichTextBox but I would like to split this into two RichTextBoxes (RtbSend and RtbReceived).It is unclear to me how and were data is assigned to the RichTextBox?

2. the received data is shown in the Richtextbox as one long line, I would like to get a new line for every send message.So for example: I I send "test" four times, I would like to see:The example describes that "comPort_DataReceived" is executed when data is waiting in the buffer. Where can I see the eventhandler responsible for this? How does it know data is waiting?The problem is this kind of coding is a bit to difficult for me. I want to understand the code before I implement it into my project. I understand most of the code but this is unclear to me.
