XML With Periods In Element Names Throws ArgumentException Error
Sep 6, 2011
I have an XML file where some of the elements have periods in their names. Using the code below, I receive the error:
"System.ArgumentException: Child list for field Stock cannot be created"It successfully reads the file if the periods are removed( i.e. StockAdjustment instead of Stock.Adjustment)
Dim myXMLfile As String = "C:file.xml"
Dim ds As New DataSet()
Dim fsReadXml As New System.IO.FileStream(myXMLfile, System.IO.FileMode.Open)
Try
[code]....
Is there a way to handle elements with periods in their names?
Goal: Load a validated xml file in to memory, traverse through the document to create objects and load object properties with values in named xml tags.Problem: How do I deal with missing tags?Amplifying information: in this example, there are three values I'm looking for; name (mandatory), location (optional), comments(optional). I found the problem in prototyping the solution. My inital test was with an xml file wtih all fields present. It works fine as long as I don't have nanespace declarations in the root element. However, if I leave them in place I get a null reference exceptoin. The same thing occurs if I leave off an optional tag. It appears that if the Element I'm trying to get a value on doesn't exist within that element, a null reference exception is thrown.
Code:
Private Sub btnImport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnImport.Click Dim xelement As XElement = xelement.Load(txtXMLfileLoc.Text) Dim ICAOxs As IEnumerable(Of XElement) = xelement.Elements()
In this screen I want to let the user decide which elements are on shown on a label. When I hit the update button (BDUpdate_Click; see below), it first checks whether the Barcode sample text is empty. Afterwards I want to invole the refresh of the label preview. The strange thing is that the first time it works fine, but when I alter the sample text and hit the button again, I get the Error "System.ArgumentException was unhandled. Parameter is not valid." The error points to the DrawSting function in the LabelPreview_Paint Sub
Dim BarcodeLabelUpdate As Boolean Private Sub BDUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BDUpdate.Click If BDBarcodeSample.Text = "" Then MsgBox("Please enter a sample text", MsgBoxStyle.Information Or MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, ProgramTitle)
Let's say I have the following class structure (simplified from my real-world problem):
Public Class PC_People_Container Private _people_list As New List(Of PL_Person) Public Sub New()[code].....
If I were to serialize this, I'd get the default assigned node names in my XML. That means my root is named PC_People_Container and each person in the list is marked up as PL_Person. I know I can change the root node using <XmlRoot(ElementName :="PeopleContainer")>. The trouble is doing that for the subclasses. I can't use the <XmlRoot> tag on PL_Person class because there can't be two root elements, and IntelliSense throws a fit when I try to use the <XmlElement> tag on a class like I would on a property. Is it even possible to control what those subclasses are named when they're serialized as child nodes?
I get the Following Error: Cannot add or insert the item 'Cake' in more than one place. You must first remove it from its current location or clone it Parameter name: item.I am trying to copy all the items in one column of a ListView to another Listview.
I'm trying to make a Tetris game in VB 2010. I am having some problems with a function I have written that draws new squares and fills them with the colour needed. Here are the details of the error:
System.ArgumentException was unhandled
Message=Parameter is not valid. Source=System.Drawing StackTrace:[code].....
The line g.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, lngX, lngY, 24, 24) is highlighted as the error. 'g' is the graphics of the form and lngX and lngY are the predetermined coordinates of the shape as long variables.I have researched this error but I couldn't understand Microsoft's explanation, and no other threads applied to my case.
I'm currently building an application in C#, using a basic design I came up with in VB.net for applications involving openGL. Using the Tao framework in VB, I have the following method:
Private Sub checkForGlutInit() If glut_initialized = False Then Glut.glutInit()
I am experiencing a problem when trying to convert a rather large VB6 application into a .Net 2005 application. Everytime I try to convert the project I get the following error: "Upgrade Failed: Exception occurred: Can't use character device names in file names"The weird thing is i have tried to convert the project using .Net 2003 and I do not get the error, it does convert.
I have created an application using VB.NET in VS2008. When I run the app in the IDE on my development machine it works fine. It also works fine when I build it and run it as an exe on any machine that also has Visual Studio installed (at least 2005 and 2008 anyway) However, when I try to run the compiled executable on any machine without Visual Studio it throws up an error "[program name] has encountered a problem and will close..."
Yes its me again with yet another problem Ok so I've now gotten round to trying to display some data from my database and displaying it in a DataGridView Heres the critical part
In our code base there is a function which should return either an object or nothing. The exact code is this : Return NothingThe calling method looks something like thismyObj = theClass.function()if myObj <> nothing then // fails
I am trying to get the selected rows from a listview. To achieve this, I did this:
Dim numsel As Integer numsel = Me.ListView1.Items.Count For countme As Integer = 0 To numsel
[Code]....
It does count the selected rows, but it always throws out the error saying "ArgumentOutOfRange Exception", or something along those lines. For example, if I selected a row, it will output the results of that row. But the loop goes on. I tried everything I can but to no avail. I specifically want to select multiple rows, and I can achieve that if someone can assist me with this simple "problem" I have.
I have a major problem. Things were going great until I came across this little bug(?) which has thrown a stick in my spokes. As I will demonstrate below, it seems that when defining certain numbers Visual Studio will throw an overflow error. Dim T As ULong = 14774537964905701134 'Overflow error in the IDE Dim M As ULong = ULong.MaxValue '(18446744073709551615) we are below the maximum value so it should work, right?
The one solution I have found is that we can use the following declaration instead. Dim T As ULong = ULong.Parse("14774537964905701134") However, to make matters even more complicated the value in question is unknown and must be compiled using CodeDOM so using the Parse method isn't an option. Unless there is some way I can determine if that value in particular will give me an overflow error.
I recently upgrade a project from vb 6 to 2008. Most of the code runs fine.I have a webbrowser form control that I use to navigate local files and display them with. (i have a file list box that you click which calls the navigate of the browser control). Most file types i have test work fine and display just as they would in a real browser window. Excel, PDFs, etc... so examples of files that utilize "plugins" like acrobat reader inside the browser work great. Tiff files are the exception. No error is thrown in vb, but the browser throws 2 runtime errors, included at the end here. After the browser errors are ignored the program continues execution but will just not display the file.
i can type the path to the file (eg c: estfielsfilename.tif) in a regular browser window and it displays just like it should, inside IE, using a plugin.Prior to upgrading, depending on what was installed on the computer, navigating to a tif would open the tif with picture and fax viewer, or display it with a tif viewer plugin.
I have the following code running, the first time I change the selected index, everything runs smoothly. However, if I try to change the selected index again, nothing happens and the subcategories combobox values do not change.
Private Sub cboMainCategory_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboMainCategory.SelectedIndexChanged '* make sure the combobox is fully loaded
I am getting the error "system.argumentException; Column ' test_id2' does not belong to table Table. At System.Data.GetDataColumn( string columnname0 at system.data.datarow.get_item(string columnName).
This error is occuring right after I set the parametervalues in the report object of the Crystal report.(Note this a visual basic.net 2005 windows form application.)
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim cryRpt As New ReportDocument Dim sql As String
[code]....
The value for the first parameter @Parm_1d1 value to the crystal report version 11 is correct. However, when trying to access the second @Parm_1d2 parameter ,the values past to the crystal report is not correct.
I'm trying to compile a brand new 2010 windows forms application with a form and a single button that should display a msgbox with "hello" in it.When I try to compile I get the error message:
Unable to write to output file <filename>: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
The application that I am working on is a Service Desk App. I have a form there that uses a DropDownList that contains employees names coming from the Active Directory. Any employee can make a request and save it. Problem arises when an employee leaves the company and consequently his account is deleted from the Active Directory. When some other employee searches the DB to finds a relevant Service Ticket that could be of his use, when tries to open it an error is thrown that indicates that the name does not exist in the DropDownList items.
UPDATE:I am adding some code so that it can be more clear.
I am attempting to list files within a folder on an FTP site. When I run the debugger, I get a clean run the first time with no problems. Subsequent attempts lead to a 550 error: "The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)." However, If I step through the process in debugger, It works fine. I'm thinking this is a timeout issue because there are many files within the folder. Any suggestions?
Private Sub ListFTP(ByVal Directory As String) Dim Req As FtpWebRequest = Nothing Dim Response As FtpWebResponse = Nothing
The application was previously using GlobalMemoryStatus() and MEMORYSTATUS structure to retrieve memory information. But since, the Physical memory of the hardware in which the application runs is more than 2GB, the code was changed to use GlobalMemoryStatusEx() and MEMORYSTATUSEX structure. When this function was implemented and the struture was used its thrown compilation error: "error C2501: 'MEMORYSTATUSEX' : missing storage-class or type specifiers"How to solve this issue???
I am trying to delete the song node from the xml file but i can't figure out the cause of the error I'm getting. I'm still learning visual basics. Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. This is my code
I have a project with multiple forms that are used to edit tables in a project data source (access DB). All the forms work fine, except the ones that use designer generated lookups.
When I am editing a row in a bound DGV on the lookup forms, they function fine, and the save button works fine. However, once I go to close the form it starts throwing "System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid." multiple times.
I've created applications similar to this in VS2008 without any issues.
I have created a very basic web service in vb.net using vs 2008. When I run the service within visual studio debugger, the service runs fine and gives me the expected results. When I deploy the service to the server and invoke it from a client, it always throws a NullReferenceException error when trying to access the data. More specifically when I call the DbConnection open() method within a dbhelper executeScalar method.
I'm using a custom dbhelper class I found on the web here: [URL] The only thing I've changed is the _factory at the top points to Providers.Odbc (since I'm using a ODBC connection). Like I said previously, the service (and the dbhelper class) work as expected within VS- it's only once I deploy it that it seems to bomb out. I've even tried hard coding the connection string in case it was having problems getting that but no difference there.
