wan to ask about anyone know the code about how to clear all the data inside the data grid view without clear the binding source...
View 1 RepliesIn my winform program (in vb.net) I wrote:
Dim dt As New DataTable
'Get data from DB into dt
'...
[Code].....
But when I run the program, Clear() cleared both dt and dttemp! Why? Aren't dt and dttemp supposed to be two distinct instances of DataTable?
(I finally found a solution - dttemp = dt.Copy() instead of dttemp = dt. But I still can't see why Copy() was necessary in this case.
I have no idea how to do this, but I want to create a [I dont know what it is called] to allow me to convert a class property to another type.The I could use the following w/ the new type:

When a custom class overrides the ToString() method, the C# IDE uses this function to display the class in the debug mode(tooltips, watcher etc) Does the VB.NET the same? I have impression that overriding ToString() method does change nothing. I mean, in the watcher I see Name myBusinessObjectInsnace Value {MyNamespace.myBusinessObjectInsnaceType}
View 4 RepliesIf you try to compile the query below in Visual Basic .NET, it fails. From x In {1, 2} Select x.ToString() The error given by the compiler is: Range variable name cannot match the name of a member of the 'Object' class. There is nothing wrong with the equivalent C# query, though: from x in new[]{1, 2} select x.ToString()
This does not happen with the ToString overload that takes a format (it is a member of Int32, not Object). It does happen with other members of Object, as long as they don't take an argument: with GetType and GetHashCode it fails; with Equals(object) it compiles.

View 1 RepliesIn the user input of a textbox I would like that the user can input a formula to make it easier for him. So instead of inputing 400 I would like the user to have the possibility to input as 8*50. Is there a command for vb2008 to calculate the answer of this formula inputed by a string ?
View 2 Replies[Code]....
As this Loops round, the answer for formula will eventually become the same as what was input, X. How can I get the Loop to stop when it has the same answer twice in a row? The counter will count how many times it has had to Loop before finding the repeated answer.
I'm new to the server and I'm making a quadratic calculator with my friend. I have my calculator coded, but whenever i click the calculate button the answer comes up as "NaN". Here is the code.
TextBox4.Text = (intVarB * (-1)) + (((intVarB ^ 2 - (4 * (intVarA * intVarC))) ^ 0.5) / (2 * intVarA))
The Variables "IntVarA", IntVarB, and IntVarC are defined as public variables in a code module.

Converting an object .tostring() removes the leading zeros. The object is not a fixed length, so I can't do object.tostring("0000000") where the number of zeros represents the fixed length.
An example object value is "0357" when I convert that object .tostring it becomes "357".
Is there a method for keeping the leading zeros where the length is not known?

VB.NET 2008. How could I make a new line inside the ToString() Function that VB already have. How to do like a .WriteLine() but inside the ToString() function. In my case, this inside of a class of course. I don't know if you get me. All I want to do is to show a fraction in the normal way not using the slash(/). Showing the numerator on top of a line, and below it the denominator. This inside the VB pre-made ToString() function.
This is what I've tried;
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return Me.numerator & "/" & Me.denominator
End Function
Output example: 2/3
But this is not what I want.
When I am concatenating object values together to form a string in VB.NET, is there a difference in performance or a recommended best practice between using the & concat or the + concat with calls to .ToString() on each object?
Example (which is faster or best practice):
Dim result1 As String = 10 & "em"
Dim result2 As String = 10.ToString() + "em"
I've been programming in vb.net a lot for the last 9 weeks and I have just come across a lot of double functionalities (hope I used the right word for that).For instance, you can use CInt, CType, Directcast or Convert to turn something into a integer. (Directcast doesn't really belong in that line but whatever).
With calling methods you can do DoWork() or call DoWork()With returning values in functions you can do DoWork() = 3 or return 3 Why is this? Is it just to make the transition frm vb6 to vb.net easier? Or about giving the programmar a lot of options. I must admit I don't really like to have that choice, I am always in doubt whether I am using the right method .
