i'm new to this site and i'm hoping there's someone out there that can help me with this problem. I'm doing a course in visual basic 2010 and having real trouble understanding some aspects of it. Here goes -
I need to do a validation check on a users inputed string. The users input is called Test_data and it needs to be exactly 10 characters long and must only use the letters " a " to " f "
I know to check that the string is exactly 10 characters long by the Len function, and i have that working.BUT - how do i check whether the users inputed string uses the letters a to f ? I thought it would involve something to do with ASCII, but i would have no idea how to form a validation check using ASCII.
I am trying to validate a textbox by checking the ASCII values on PreviewKeyDown event of the textbox.This method woorked fine with WinForms using vb.NET.The problem comes wen I use it in WPF.Is there a better method of carrying out validation of textbox in WPF forms ??
I have a problem with the Validation of a Integer-Field in my application.Its an Access DB on a Windows Form.I implemented the validation in DataSet.vb using an ErrorProvider on my Form.The field name is FNr and should not accept duplicate numbers.If the field value is changed, a query checks if the number already exists in the Datatable and if so it sets the error on that field.If the user tries to change the field to a number which is a duplicate I want to cancel the input back to the original number. This works but the
Error message is still shown by the ErrorProvider.The code is partially in DataSet.vb and in Form.vb
Public Class Funktionen Private Sub FunktionenBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FunktionenBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click Me.Validate()[code]......
I am using Microsoft.VisualBasic.Fileio.TextFieldParser to parse a CSV file that was created with Excel 2003. The parser is working great with the exception that it is converting extended ascii values to question marks! So if the file content was:
± 3 The TextFieldParser is returning ? 3
I have tried all of the encodings in the System.Text.Encoding package with no luck. I thought I had it with UTF7 but it was dropping other characters like replacing the + sign with a space.
I am writing a User Control. Into each control I am loading a custom biz object. Because the biz object implements IDataErrorInfo interface I am able to use the ErrorProvider control on the user control.
I am binding the ErrorProvider to the biz object like this:
Me.ErrorProvider1.DataSource=MyBizObject This is all working perfectly EXCEPT. The validation is happening (and therefore I am displaying the blinkey error signs next to all feilds) as soon as the User control is loaded into the host form.
Each biz object implements a SAVE method and I want the validate to not happen until the save event is triggered on the biz object.
I use VB 2008. I want to check that text boxes have correct data but not at key pressed key down event. I want to check when user fill the form if all have correct data then insert into database otherwise get focus of specifiq textbox which have wrong data. I see many examples but all is applied on keydown keypress etc events. I just need a class i send Textbox as object in that which return true or false. I need one method in that class which check only numbers with decimal point and limit decimal places to 4 digit.e.g 12345.9876 and other method check A to Z and a to z with some special charecters like @ # $ % & ! ;
I am trying to mkae sure that there has been 16 numeric digits entered into the masked textbox. If not show errror message and if so to call the fucnction ValidateLuhn. When calling Validate Luhn i want the program to tell me if the number entered is valid or invalid using the code in the function:
I'm working on decoding a NMEA sentence that is a compressed 8-bit string. I'm having a very hard time of wrapping my head around the bit manipulation needed to convert this string. If someone could get me started with this it would be great.
I would like to pass a whitespace character by using the System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(" "), and System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(" ") , where " " is the whitespace Character required. What do I need to type (" ") to get a whitespace character passed.?
So I have an ASP.Net (vb.net) application. It has a textbox and the user is pasting text from Microsoft Word into it. So things like the long dash (charcode 150) are coming through as input. Other examples would be the smart quotes or accented characters. In my app I'm encoding them in xml and passing that to the database as an xml parameter to a sql stored procedure. It gets inserted in the database just as the user entered it.
The problem is the app that reads this data doesn't like these characters. So I need to translate them into the lower ascii (7bit I think) character set. How do I do that? How do I determine what encoding they are in so I can do something like the following. And would just requesting the ASCII equivalent translate them intelligently or do I have to write some code for that?
Also maybe it might be easier to solve this problem in the web page to begin with. When you copy the selection of characters from Word it puts several formats in the clipboard. The straight text one is the one I want. Is there a way to have the html textbox get that text when the user pastes into it? Do I have to set the encoding of the web page somehow?
I have this code and I know that this part "WHERE dbo.tblenrol.SectionName=dbo.tblSection.SectionName)" of the code not right... I want to update the my tblenrol.Adviser from tblTeacherFile.Adviser if the tblenrol.SectionName is equal to tblSection.SectionName...How do I do it??

I am making a program that takes files (inside their folders) and copies them into a selected file path. For example, I plug in my jump drive, run my program and it copies my files on the jump drive over to my PC. Now my program does this but it takes the files inside each folder in my jump drive instead of creating a folder for each one in my jump drive. The result is a mess of files in the selected pathway in my PC.I went and created variables in My.settings so that you can save the file path even after you close the program. I just want the program to copy the folders(with the files in each folder) in my jump drive and move them over to my PC.I am using this program copy the files from my jump drive over to my PC, because I save a lot of work on my jump drive and I need to back it up often.

The bigger problem is that I can't seem to get everything involving using stream writer and reader working. If I start of with a .txt file already correctly formatted then I can display it in the list box. But adding data during run time is not proving successful.
I would like to read each line of text from the file outputted from this block.Each line is then used with the service controller to output a list of services running on that computer.
Dim de As New DirectoryEntry() 'Name place to write file to Dim strFile As String = "C:DomainUsers.txt"
My application need to communicate with my self made device through serial port. I have to change the selected index of Tabs when I press a button on my device. I have Form1, Form2, Module1 Form1 Contains the Serial Port Control. Form2 contains the Tab which needs to be changed. When I press a button on device them, the button pressed is stored in an integer form in a global variable.The Interrupt for the Serial Port directs the control to the module1 where I decide using Select Case that what index of which TabControl I have to select.Depending on that, I change the Index of the required Tab.
PROBLEM:cross thread exception is fired as soon as the control reaches the statement where I Modify the SelectIndex property from the select case at Module1.While, on my other PC, the SelectIndex property is changed, but the next tab is not shown.
BUT, if I put all this code in a button control, and try to activate from there, then it works perfectly. However, I have to navigate through the tab controls using my self made device.I searched a lot on net and came across a solution which describes that we have to use delegate function and invokeRequired methods to ensure that the procedures run on the same thread.I am not able to decide that where exactly shoud the code for delegates and all be written, in form1, or form2, or module1.Also, in the hit and try that I did, I always got the value of InvoleRequired as False.
Here is the part of Code that I wrote for Delegates
Code:
'Form 1 is BLINDHELPER_SIGNIN 'form 2 is BLINDHELPER_USER
' I have defined these at Module1
Public Delegate Sub DeleToManageTabs(ByVal tb As TabControl) Public Sub manage_Tabs(ByVal tab As TabControl) MsgBox(tab.Name)
[code]....
After using this code also, there is no change in working of my application.
I created a Windows Application using VB.NET 2005 Express Edition.In my project I have two references to DLLs from a 3rd part product, so that I could access its API (Ascent Capture 7.5 from Kofax if you needed to know).For the two references, I have set the Copy Local property to False, and in the app.config file I am using assemblyBinding to reference one of the DLLs.When I build the application and then execute the EXE file in the inRelease folder, everything works fine. When I do a publish and try to run the setup.exe application that is created, I get an error message that basically states the DLL I referenced in the app.config file needs to be installed in the GAC.So why does my application work fine from the Release folder without having to do anything to the GAC, but I cannot install using the setup.exe from the Publish? I would like to use the setup.exe because I need to install this on other machines than my own.
This is a very simple piece of code involving threading and events. I am just refreshing the old grey matter as I find myself off work sick for a period of time.
I have a form with a tab control, containing a small number of tab pages. I'm writing a sub procedure to clear the controls within a groupbox for the selected tab. A selected tab will only ever contain ONE groupbox and within a groupbox will be command buttons, labels, text boxes and possibly a combobox. The first block of code below firstly finds the groupbox within the selected tab. The next part loops around all control type and if of type texbox clears the text.
Now hears the head scratcher/confusion it error's with :- Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.Button' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox Which I don't understand as I cant see where Im converting objects simply looping through all controls and then ONLY if type of control is textbox then clear text.
'Loop around all controls in form, simplified that all controls 'are within a SINGLE groupbox and clear contents or reset to default value Dim groupbox = (From grpbx In tabAdmin.SelectedTab.Controls _ Select grpbx = DirectCast(grpbx, GroupBox) _ Where TypeOf grpbx Is GroupBox) [Code] .....
I have a datatable as shown in the figure. Let me explain my required based on this image. I have 7 rows of data. The rows 1 and 2 contains columns till UnitSqcNo same. I want only row 3 among the two. In general I want select all the rows with distinct model, unittype, unit and rest with greater CompId. ie the table should look like
I am working in excel trying to setup a function involving multiplying a cell by a set number and then having the result round to the nearest 10. Here's the beginning of my function statement fx=e3*1.026. say the result is 8654, I need it to round to 8650. Also if it comes back 8655, I need it to round to 8660. I have about 2,000 records I need to do this to so I was hoping that one formula or statement could be used for all my data.
In member register page, I added email address validation but it only check the email address format, such as .com, .net, .org.If user inputs fake account such as aaabbb01010@gmail.com, how to verify it and return an error?
The below lines does not write anything to the file, ascii.txt. Trying to write the ascii equivalent of hex "88". However nothing is written to the file, nor nothing is asssigned to the variable, ascii.
Dim ascii = ChrW(Convert.ToInt32("88", 16)) My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("e:ascii.txt", ascii, True)
In excel or openoffice, you can get the ascii equivalent using the below formula. What is wrong with the code?
my name is Altair da Silva and I'm writing a Jeopardy game. I have most of the program done. I got stuck at one part. I have been trying to create lines of codes that would result in a buzzer. This buzzer has to work right after the msgbox with the answer comes up. I'm using a clickhandler and i would like to have this code under the clickhandler. I have tried almost everything. I know that there is a way of doing it, but i dont know how.
This has been driving me crazy for two weeks! I just started learning Vb.net, so please forgive me if I make rookie mistakes. Basically, I would like to convert any type of file to Ascii code. An mp3, .wav, .avi etc. The most I was able to do is convert only the first character of the file to Ascii. Also, I'm not sure what would be the fastest method to do this. SteamReader, FileStream, or BinaryReader. Can anyone explain what method would be best? This is what I have so far:
i got a problem when receiving data from networkstream that was converted from bytes to string.. the output would be the same but when i compare the the string generated from Encoding.ASCII.GetString() compared to the actual string, the output is not the same..
This is my code..

Client:

just for ping purposes.. :)
my server pings to client..is there any instance that when the string will be converted to bytes, the string will change?
I am receiving ASCII data over my serial port. "51 48 46 48 48 49" for example, this represents my temperature of 30.001 degree. Now I would like to convert this ASCII numbers nad combine to readable temperature and store my data into an excel table. [Code]
The reply buffer is in ASCII value...but I need is HEX value.Is there any way that the reply buffer is in hex?
Code: Public Function read_write_string(ByVal devicehandle, ByVal command, ByVal commandlenght) As String Dim inputReportBuffer(100) As Byte unManagedBuffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(inputReportBuffer.Length)
