Validate Format Of An 8-character String Value
Aug 2, 2010
I would like to check the format of a string value (contained in a variable) before using it in further code.
- It must be 8 characters in length (no more, no less)
- It must be in the following format: 2 digits + 1 letter + 5 digits
I imagine the VB.NET code would be something along the lines of:If CStr(strMediaNum) (...not in the form [2 digits + 1 letter + 5 digits]...) Or (...datalength not equal to eight characters...) Then Exit Sub EndIf

I am trying to validate the character within a textbox. The textbox has a MaxLenght of 1
Private Sub textbox1_TextChanged() Handles textbox1.TextChanged
If allowed_characters.Contains(textbox1.Text) = True Then
textbox2.Focus()
End If
If allowed_characters.Contains(textbox1.Text) = False Then
textbox_userid_input01.Clear()
End If
End Sub
When I enter something in textbox1 at the debug it will do the if contain = false
but the if contain = true doesn't work. I tried a lot, but it still doesn't recognize true.

how can VB.net validates the format of each cell on the excel file that it opens, for example, the first row should only be numeric, or cannot be null, is it possible that vb.net can check it before it inserts it in the dataset or data table?

I'm trying to validate an IP address in dot decimal format e.g. 127.55.21.1
System.Net.IPAddress.TryParse(IP, Nothing)
This though returns numbers like "500" or "9" as valid. Why does it do this? Do I have to set the IP address version, if so how would I do this?

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.

I need to validate user input in some fields, where these are defining how to show time in some views.
Requirements: Time format must be expressed in Microsoft .NET way (check this MSDN Library article if you want to learn more about framework's date and time formatting: [URL]. Keep in mind I'm looking to validate the format instead of an actual time string.
For example, user may input:
HH:mm
hh:mm
ss
hh:ss
mm:ss
... and so on.
In fact, it should validate from the shortest to longest time format available. Another point is I need to do it in client-side using JavaScript. In other words, any given regular expression by you should work in browsers JavaScript regular expressions' engine. I can't use ASP.NET validation engine, or any other. Because of project's requirements, I need to avoid that.

I am writing a hangman type game and I am displaying the word to the user in a label as all *'s, but I cannot figure out how to have just one of the *'s changed in the label to the correct letter when the user inputs the correct letter into the text box and clicks the check letter button.Everything else in the program works perfectly, except for this part.[code]When I use the .Replace it changes all of the *'s to the correct selected letter.

I have a function that is getting passed a String and a DataRow.The String is a custom formatter. The idea is to do this
String.Format(passed_in_String, DataRow("ColumnINeed"))
The reason this is being done is at this point we have no idea what the column contains.However, if the formatter is "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" and the DataRow("ColumnINeed") is an integer containing 42, String.Format is returning: MM/dd/yyyy In this situation I need it to throw an exception instead of returning nonsense.Is there anyway to make String.Format throw an exception if the object does not match what the format string is expecting?

I've been working with the substring command and after coding up all the things I needed it to do, I saw a post on here where the "For Each" statement was used basically to do the same thing.Lets say we just want to take a string apart one character at a time and add each character to a label. Which would be more efficient?I made a cheap example to show ...
Code:
ABinary = "0110 1100 0001 1011"
For x = 0 To Len(ABinary) - 1

I need a regular expression that can validate that a string is an alphanumeric comma delimited string.
Examples:
123, 4A67, GGG, 767 would be valid.
12333, 78787&*, GH778 would be invalid
fghkjhfdg8797< would be invalid
This is what I have so far, but isn't quite right: ^(?=.*[a-zA-Z0-9][,]).*$

So I need a format string to pass to String.Format that would "move" the decimal point.I can't perform any math operations before doing the String.Format, so it has to work right off the bat.Basically I'm emulating a formatting string from a proprietary server. In it if I say:
"MR2"
for the value:
12345
The result is:
123.45
I'm close with this, but it's not spot on:
String.Format("{0:#0.##}", 12345)
an extra, but not necessary... there is also MR2Z, which moves the decimal 2 left, but if the value is 0 "" is returned.

I have large lists of account numbers in an array to validate. They have distinct patterns of characters so ve decided RegEx is the best method. As it is I loop through every element and match. Is there a better way? I saw they Array.TrueForAll Generic Method but after messing with it a bit it seemed that I would have to write a separate function negating the benefit.

I have a form that a user inputs either A B C or D into a text box. I need to validate that one of those four letters has been entered in the text box. I am using a case statement but I think an array might work better but I can't figure out how to validate a string in an array. Or if there is a better way to use the case statement...Here is my code snippet This works, but it seems like it is the long way to do it. Also as soon as I click OK on the message box it immediatly goes and shows my next form. How do I get it validate, let the user redo, and then bring up the other form?

I want to validate xml against XSD (VB.NET). My function look like this:
Private Function ValidateXML(ByVal xml As MemoryStream, ByVal xsd As String) As ArrayList End Function
How can I do the validation when my xml is a memorystream/stream (I use stream because I don't need to store the xml) and my xsd is a string (I get my xsd from a web servise as a string, and I do not need to store it in a file)?
