Is there a better way? I especially dislike using str.length.
Edit I wanted the question to be as short and simple as possible and I supposed that I just overlooked some String method. I try to be more precise.
I need to remove given number of characters from the end of a string. I don't want to care what the characters are and I don't want to introduce a risk of removing more characters.
If the number is larger then string length let's there is an exception (the string should be validated earlier).
I don't have the problem especially with length, but with referencing a variable twice (imagine a function instead of a variable). I also don't like necessity of subtraction but it is only a personal preference.
The question is taged vb.net so there is vb.net code (should be in a module):
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension> _
Public Shared Function RemoveFromEnd(stringValue As String, removedCharacters As Integer) As String
Return stringValue.Substring(0, stringValue.Length - removedCharacters)
End Function
I'm having difficulty with some strings of varying 'meaningful' length from a different database (not under my control) that I am trying to trim in my vb.net code.
I only want to remove TRAILING whitespace... therefore, I can't really use .trim method.
The reasoning behind this being that the field sent from the french database usefully uses a <space> to represent a 0 (as you do).
The string is always the same length but the meaningful length can vary, an example being 95WO<space>5CA<space><space><space>...etc
Or it could be this...
<space><space>WO<space><space><space>... etc
Or this...
<space>5WO95CA<space><space><space>...etc
I've got my methods in place to split the string into pairs and perform various lookups but until I can remove the trailing whitespace I'm a bit stuck
i have the folowing problem: i made a combobox on my form and in order to add items to it i use a normal textbox and a string in application settings, the textbox add's the item in both the combobox( with this code ComboBox1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text) ) and the string in application settings with the folowing code:

<div id="webResults"> </div>
There's nothing. All of the webresults have been removed.How come I can view the code in my internet browser but not on my application?? I even used an InStr method to confirm that the results weren't contained in the generated code.
I have a string which looks like this 512.3 is there a way to add a trailing zero so it looks like this 512.30 Just to clarify (sorry I didn't know there where different ways etc.) My string is an amount which is passed so changes all the time I only need the trailing zero on amounts like 512.3, 512.4,512.5 etc. as some of my amounts will pass values like 512.33 and 512.44 and so on
I have a string of 5 characters out of which the first two characters should be in some list and next three should be in some other list.How could i validate them with regular expressions? [code]My Strings are going to be: VBBEG, CSBEG, etc.My regular expression should find that the input string first two characters could be either VB, CS, HT and the rest should also be like that.
What's the trailing ampersand on VB hexadecimal numbers for? I've read it forces conversion to an Int32 on the chance VB wants to try and store as an Int16. That makes sense to me. But the part I didn't get from the blurb was to always use the trailing ampersand for bitmasks, flags, enums, etc. Apparantly, it has something to do with overriding VB's fetish for using signed numbers for things internally, which can lead to weird results in comparisons.
So to get easy points, what are the rules for VB.Net hexadecimal numbers, with and without the trailing ampersand? Please include the specific usage in the case of bitmasks/flags and such, and how one would also use it to force signed vs. unsigned.
One number is represented with four hex values.First two hex parts are my "whole number" part, third and fouth hex numbers are my "decimal" part. I just wanted to store my complete number (whole and decimal) in an excel table.My problem is following when I am storing whole part and decimal part of my number separately, then it works fine am getting f.e. 3017 and 0,9445123 in my excel table, but when I am concatenate them, then I am getting following expression in my excel table f.e. 30,179,445,123 but I want 3017,9445123.
Is is it possible to add trailing text after the checkbox for a Datagridview CheckBoxColumn?
The situation is like this. Say the DataGridView shows name of employees from datatable. The user can select employees from the displayed list in the DGV. For the selection, I inserted a checkboxcolumn into the datagrid. Everything OK.
But just want to know whether it is possible to merge the two column into 1, so that the check box precedes the name of the employee in the same cell rather than in a different column.
I have a winform which allows people to edit data from a database, to simplify things assume there is a Customer table in database with 3 fields - Name, City, Country. Through winform(s) people can Add/Edit/Delete customers.For each of these actions we need to save:
What the field names are (Name,City,Country in this case)What the field values were before they were modified What the field values are after they are modified.If the action is Add or Delete then 2 and 3 will be the same.I have already implemented this using XMLSerialisation (but not using any of the design patterns) and my XML output looks like this.
The solution can handle different areas of the system with different number of fields (i.e the same thing works when you are modifying Products for instance).is there a well defined design pattern to deal with this kind of behavior?
I am using the following code to write lines to a file. I seem to get Zero's after my text.Any suggestions to get the trailing zeros out of my text file? [code]
How do i detect a part of a string from a string? For example: i want to check if the part of the string "mummy" exists in a string:"Mummy loves Daddy and loves me too"
How to cut part from this string..."abb.c.d+de.ee+f.xxx+qaa.+.,,s,"... where i know position by this: Result is always between "."

Say... from left side: begining is at 4th "." ( this is easy ), result is =
