Anyone know of a nice efficient function that could convert, for example:
HelloWorld --> Hello World
helloWorld --> Hello World
Hello_World --> Hello World
hello_World --> Hello World
It would be nice to be able to handle all these situations.
Preferably in in VB.Net, or C#.
I have a ton of questions that I cant seem to figure out in regards to VB Script.
1. How do you convert text in a text box to Upper Case?
2. How do you write the code to display messages in a Label box?
3. How do you check for numeric values?
4. How do you check for an empty string and find the length?
5. How do you extract a substring?
I have a string like "pen pencil table desktop watch" I have to format it like "penPencilTableDesktopWatch" ..... like convert to camel casing. Is there any method of string or string builder in which I can do it in one line ? ... (without splitting and formatting each string and concatenating.)
View 4 RepliesIs there any specific reason why camel casing examples often start with a lower case letter?
E.G:Dim btnSave As New Button
'as compared to.>>
Dim BtnSave As New Button
Is it to make a distinction between the ( object / variable ) and its TYPE?
Why then does the IDE not add items starting with a lower case letter if lowercase initial lettering is more common or more accepted?
I wrote my own database handling code (actually, I write T4 text templating files that generate my database code for me) and part of it takes care of converting values from a database (as Objects) to the desired types.
I have been using this generic function successfully:
vb.net
Public Overridable Function ConvertType(Of T)(value As Object) As T
Try
Return If(value IsNot Nothing AndAlso value <> DBNull.Value, DirectCast(value, T), Nothing)
[Code]....
Simple enough, but it doesn't work... The return type of the function is (and must be) T, so I cannot return a Boolean because a Boolean cannot be converted to T!
Well... It can in this case, because I specifically check that T is Boolean, but the compiler doesn't know this so it doesn't allow me to return a Boolean. I cannot cast the boolean to T either.

I have a question about Select Case. My code (psuedocode) is this
[Select Case name
Case number
name=Remove(num, 1, " ") ]
What this needs to do is to remove spaces at the end of a number and lets say that the number would look like this "C12345" but what I want is for the number to look like this "12345". I have it as a hyperlike but for some reason when at the link in the code it had added some spaces at the end of the number and I do not know why. What I want to have happen is when the hyperlink is click that it will go right to that number but it does not. When you click it you have to go to the top of the page (where the http is at) to to the end of the link and back space. Once you have done that it will go to the page that you want.
In my program, I get an rtf file (which I load through a Rich-TextBox), and need to format it a bit: I need to remove certain spaces, from certain lines.
View 19 RepliesI have some HUGE text files (easily around 2000+ lines) I need to clean where some of the formatting is like this:
CODE:
Of course there are more than 2 words in the lines, but what I said was just an example. I have to clean these files and I just want to know how to delete the whole line after the spaces (including the gibberish), but I don't want to delete the spaces in between the words that need to stay.
I was thinking I could test for 2 or more spaces and if that's true then delete the rest of the line beginning at the first space. The only issue is there are tabs sometimes between the words and I don't want to mess with those right now. (I have no clue how to make source that deletes spaces but not tabs... Perhaps you can single out tabs?)
Because of the formatting to make the text files look "cleaner" there are sometimes 5 (least) - 8 spaces (max) between each some words. So should I check for 9 spaces? (1 more than 8). There seriously are huge amounts of spaces between the words and the gibberish.
I'll worry about formatting the text and what not later, right now I'm only asking for help with the spaces and gibberish issue .
I'm usually a C++ man, not used to VB.NET (2005) but I will only be using this project for cleaning these files and the dialogs are much easier to make than MFC for C++. So I figured this would be much faster and easier (except I have very little experience with VB.NET)
how do I validate that only letters and spaces have been entered into a text box.
Here is a sample of my
Private Sub btnWrite_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnWrite.Click, mnuWrite.Click
If Not txtName.Text Like "[a-z][A-Z]" Then
MessageBox.Show("Please enter your name using letters and spaces", "Error")
txtName.SelectAll()

View 1 RepliesI am trying to remove all spaces from a text field when a form is submitted so that the contents of the post code field match those in a database...
If drSet5c.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("post_code") = UCase(Replace(tbPostcode.Text, " ","")) Then
response.write("Postcodes match")
[Code]....
So if the postcode in the database is AB12CD and the user types AB1 2CD the space is removed on submitting the form and the match statement shows. This is not working though.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a small program, which I think will be helpful to others(in here). My aim is to convert the English text shown in screen to Malayalam. English-to-Malayalam conversion is not a problem. But the problem is, how to extract the text from the screen. In most of the converter/translator, the text needs to be copied or written down in the translator tool. But my program will cut off that part. That is, simply move the program window (having a rectangle hollow portion) to the English word that needs to be converted. And upon pressing a button (or autodetect), the English word is converted to Malayalam.
So, my question is how to extract the English text(or words) from the screen (which is seen through the hollow portion of the window.

I am building a vb.net application with VS2010. The aim of the application is to change sln. files from VS2005/2008 versions into VS2010.I am using a Form with 2 text boxes and 2 buttons. When I click the 1st button it reveals the sln file in the text box. Then i have a 'convert' button that I want to use to 'convert' the file that appears in the first text box. I have come quite far with the source code but am just a bit puzzled as to how i can retrieve the VS2005 sln files and to get the 'convert' button to display the text in the 2nd text box.[code]

View 1 RepliesI have this function which evaluates the contents of a textbox (or combobox or maskedtextbox) control and, in conjunction with a KeyPress event, will either allow or disallow the input. It is quite useful for dates or textboxes for which only numeric input is valid. It allows a set number of digits after a single decimal point, if specified in the function call. It also allows the backspace character if the textbox is full.
I would like it to allow me to input what would otherwise be valid text when the textbox is full but one or more characters are highlighted (and would therefore be replaced by the keypress character.
