I have a multiline textbox from which I create a single string[code]...
What I'd like to do is write this to a DB as-is by adding wholeThing as a parameter using to SqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue, but all of my painstakingly-inserted newlines go away (or appear to).
I saw this and was hoping I didn't need to concern myself with CHAR(nnn) SQL stuff.
I'm working on an ASP.NET application that uses VB. I'm using a SQLReader/SQLCommand/SQLConnection within the VB file to try to pull data values.I was mystified to find out that the reason why the query wasn't returning any values, and someone here showed me how to troubleshoot the query to verify things were being returned, which they weren't.
I talked to a co-worker, and he asked if it would match because I was feeding a string, and the Text field for the database is an nvarchar. How can I declare the variable in VB so that when fed in as a parameter for the query, it can match?The types of data it looks to match are just basic things like "2", "2a", "1a", and so on.If there's no way to just declare the nvarchar, does anyone have a suggestion on how I might workaround that?
Side note: This is a continuation, of sorts, of this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/768052/sql-reader-saying-no-values-exist-query-seems-fine
Edit: I set things up like you guys said, but now I'm getting an error that "No mapping exists from object type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter to a known managed provider native type. "I have the parameter as a form-wide variable like this:
Private travelParameter As New SqlParameter("@trip", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
And then inside the main form,
travelQuery.CommandText = "SELECT [StartLoc], [EndLoc],[TravelTime], [AvgSpeed], [Distance] FROM [TravelTimes] WHERE [TripNum] = @trip"
travelQuery.Parameters.AddWithValue("@trip", travelParameter)
[code].....
I know how to declare a variable, a function, to write a string of characters or numbers (I still looking in tutorials and depict from there what i need to know) but...WHAT I DONT KNOW is how to USE them? At "what" or "how" are you thinking when you make a program? I try for SOME LOooNG TIME to understand but I think im too stupid to understand from pages on the net (or i dont find THAT tutorial who can explain right for me).I try a lot of programing languages starting with pascal,c,c++,darkbasic,alice, Visual-c,c#,c++,basic,php,even assembler, some programing zones in Excel and Word but from all of this i cant manage to understand the life behind the words.
View 1 RepliesI have a string of characters, but I would like to have a string of hexdecimal characters where the hexadecimal characters are converted by turning the original characters into integers and then those integers into hexadecimal characters. How do I do that?

View 3 RepliesI need to create a console program that allows you to enter a string, of which is then outputted in reverse.
Sample:
Input: Diewas
Output: saweiD
Apparently I need to find out about strings and will also need to use a loop.
Not sure if too many people know this, but the following line will cause an error:
GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_"
....if the length of GroupName is less than 3 characters. I always thought it would simply return whatever characters in GroupName, but no, it errors. I must be thinking of the old VB6 days.So, I now have to change the code to:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) Then
If (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then
Note that the two comparisons need to be on separate lines. If they are on the same line, such as:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) and (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then then the code will still fail as the length command is executed at the same time as the substring command- which will cause the error when the GroupName length is less than 3.Just thought that those of us not aware of this should be!

I have made a report in crystal reports 10 in that i want the field only displays data without the special characters like its showing 11-00-3200-002-37 but i want it would show the field like this 1100320000237 without (-). so does any one help me to do this in crystal reports 10 not in application or software code.

View 1 RepliesI have a database that I would like to filter characters from anywhere in the field. Example the letter A is typed into textbox1 and in the grid every field that contains an A is show. Like dash, lap, trap, apple. Currently with the query I'm using it will just go from the beginning of the field. I get "Index was outside the bounds of the array". The code is as followed:
Dim filter1() As String
filter1 = TextBox2.Text.Split(" ")
Sheet1BindingSource.Filter = "Stationary_location like '" & filter1(0) & "' Stationary_location like '" & filter1(1) & "'"

I am investigating an issue with regards to a textbox rejecting user input. In this case the error message is: 'The note was found to contain a possible credit card PAN.'Now obviously this is a custom validator but I am enable to find where it tells me what characters ARE allowed? In debug I entered a note containing no numbers and when the validators are initialized, these variables have the value below:
valNoteContainsPAN.Expression = Me.PANRegEx value = (d*)45367{13,15}(?!d)
I'm assuming this is blocking numbers of certain lengths? How can I find out how to actually read and understand the above? Google is proving fruitless
I'm using the following to populate a listbox from a sql server:[code]Is Available returns true (It's a bit in sql) or false - Is it possible to replace this with something shorter, say a checkbox or tick image?Also, is it possible to only display actual data rather than the whole field including empty characters? I have a few nchar(30) fields, the above seems to include all 30 character spaces.
View 4 RepliesI've been asked to re-write an application that was written sometime ago by another programmer. This application reads data from a database table, massages it, and then writes out the results to a text file that is later shipped off to another company. When I run my new application, it generates a file that, according to the byte count, is twice the size of the file output from the old application. However, to look at the two files with note-pad they look identical. I found that by using 'Ultra-edit' that the new records have a low-value byte hex '00' between each real character.

View 6 RepliesI have a VB Application that is loading an Array with Numbers from the Sequel Server that have numbers 315054 no cents and leaving the .00 off even numbers. I need to write out the number to a textfile that has 14 zero's to the left removing the decimal point from the number.
The Number should format and be written out like this:
00000031505400 in the text file.
My coding does this as long as the even number has a decimal point .00 but if the number comes in as 315054 into my array my coding gives an Argument error with the coding below.
SCreditTextBox1 = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right("00000000000000" & Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(_sData(Irow, 7), _sData(Irow, 7, ".") - 1) & _
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(_sData(Irow, 7), 2), 14)
Is there a way to check for no decimal point and then place the number with no .00 as 00000031505400?
The accounting people are entering the numbers into the server this way incorrectly. The .00 is suppose to be entered with it, but not all even numbers are entered this way without .00, just a few, but I need to check the number to see if there are decimals and without decimals do something. Could my coding be re-written to account for not having the .00 and to format the number correctly to avoid the argument error?
I need for any number to format with:
$3,000.00 would appear in server as 3000 or 3000.00 and should write out like this below: I need to check for decimals and without decimals and writeout the format like this below:
00000000300000.
