Change The Highlighted Code To Accept An Apostrophe?
Aug 16, 2010
How can I change the highlighted code to accept an apostrophe.. Presently, it gives an error: Unclosed quotation mark after the characetr string ;'Test Project''. Incorrect syntax near 'Test Project''.
A client for our company contains an apostrophe in their email name joe's@joe.com. I was advised that this is the correct and current email for the given client. Below is the Expression string I am using with Regex (which I copied from the internet somewhere) to validate email addresses. How can this expression be modified to allow/accept apostrohe's?
I just ran into what I consider a very strange issue in the execution of some code that I thought I had completely well-understood.
Basically, I was using this kind of notation:
If strOne.equals(strTwo) Then
rather than
If strOne = strTwo Then
I came from a c and java background, and using the '=' operator for comparison has always made me cringe, so I've used the .equals() comparison function thinking that it was equivalent. But just now some of my code broke. It encountered a string containing "Eagle's Nest: Dawn Patrol", used the .equals() to compare it to "Eagle's Nest: Dawn Patrol" and declared them not equal. I changed the code to use '=' rather than '.equals()' and it declared them equal. I also did this:
If strOne.Replace("'", "").Equals(strTwo.Replace("'", "")) Then
And again, it declared them equal.
This has me a little rattled because my code is filled with the use of .equals(), and I've used it assuming that it was no different than writing strOne = strTwo. I've scanned the interweb looking for information about this. I have not found any information about odd interactions between the apostrophe (or other) character(s) and .equals(). Microsoft's documentation does not hint at any subtle differences. how .equals() differs from '='
I'm trying to write small piece of code in Visual Studio (VB.net) that will change value of a particular field of the database for all highlightetd rows. So, I'm running my form, which displays some data from the datatabse. I then highlight some rows (holding Ctrl and clicking). Next I click a button that will trigger a value change for all the highlighted rows (only). Say, I want to change the "Name" column's value for all of them.
This function doesn't work if I change the input argument 'pdu' from a string to an int.Would someone please help me figure out what to do here so that the checksum does not add the ascii value of the int argument but rather the actual integer value?I took out a few lines of the actual function but it adds the input argument to a packet sent out via TCP protocol.This function shows the integer value just fine in the string that gets encoded as a byte array. the checksum is wrong.!
''Public Function buildpacket(pdu As Integer) is what I want. Public Function buildpacket(pdu As String) Dim packet As String
Been using C# and code snippets and fill 'em in and hit "Enter" and POOF there you go, all done.
So how the heck do I do this in VB? Example: "property" TAB TAB brings up the snippet. I fill it in just fine .. NOW WHAT? Hitting enter just give me a new line. ESC doesn't do anything. CTLR-K CTRLX doesn't either.
What's the secret? How do I get the snippet to accept my entries and unsnippetize itself into inserted code?
I created a menu in sharpdevelop 3.20 and by pressing button is started bat file located on mapped network drive
Sub Button1Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Process.Start("Q:INTRALINK_config_prod.bat")' TODO: Implement Button1Click' TODO: Implement Button1Click End Sub
but when I press on that button security warning information appears - is there any way to automatically accept RUN from Vbasic code without pressing by mouse / keyboard ?
I'm getting familiar now with using the Dataset Designer and how it makes for quick and easy updates and query of tables. I use to use the OleDB commands and leave the Connection String as a Global Constant so I can easily change it if the server name changes, or if we have to re-direct the .NET to another instance of the database.
But now that I use the Dataset designer I'm concerned that I maintain flexibility and support in the long run. how the Dataset designer works and where it stores it's connection string info? And how difficult that would be to update. It looks like I modify the App.config file, but I'm unfamiliar with this.
What am I getting myself into? It looks like a standard XML file. Is that it?
I am using VB 2005 and MS Access 2007.Some of business name has apostrophe(') and I need to know how SQL deal with this name.For example
sqlStr = "SELECT * FROM AddressTable WHERE BusinessName=" & "'" & updateBName & "'" in this case, if updateBName is "Den's Nail", the real SQL is "SELECT * FROM AddressChangeTable WHERE BusinessName='Den's Nail'"
and this code generates Error Message.Is there any way to prevent error ?Or do I have to remove all apostrophe(') in Business Name?
I have a xml file that should contain a apostrophe in one of the nodes name. Now as far as I can see it can't be done but put a bit of light into this. So the node should look like this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <name's> ... </name's> Now I'm sure that the xml is not correct, but how can I bypass this?
I have Visual Basic code going against a MS Access database. I am trying to create a Select query using parameters to filter records. One field is Location which is a loaded combo box. The user can select "Catering Hall" which is not a problem. But if they chose "Paddock's Restaurant" I get a syntax error. I tried putting a double apostrophe on either side of the query but that doesn't work.
[Code]...
how to get around this as the database record is "Paddock's Resaurant".
How do I query a DataTable where a value has an apostrophe in it? For example, my datatable has a lastname column and I want to search for the name "O'Bryan", how would I do it? With an SQL query I would just use a parameter & it would take care of the apostrophe automatically. Is there a way to use parameters with a DataTable?
In .NET 3.5, I have a Winform with a combobox in it. The datya comes from a DB2 mainframe DB. The problem is that we have a character that is not the real apostrophe. Pasted from Word I'd guess. But in our combobox, it is not diplayed correctly. It shows a question mark "?" instead.
I am having an issue with the SQLCommand query update handling apostrophes. I have a gridview that accepts edited text which might have apostrophes and other such accent characters.The UPDATE keeps throwing errors on the apostrophes in the text entered causing the SQL UPDATE to fail.
Here is the code: Dim lbl1 As Label = GridView3.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).FindControl("Label1") IDVal = lbl1.Text
I am having a problem trying to resolve an apostrophe related issue. I have searched SO,
My clientside javascript code is: var strUserText = uSettings.replace(/'/g, "'")
after the above line is executed, the form does a submit
document.form1.submit(); in code behind, a class retreives those values:
sUserSettings = request.form("strUserSettings ") the result is a semi-truncated string.Given the above code process flow, how can I save "John O'Brady's ASP Blog" in to a database?
I thought I was saving "John O'Brady's ASP Blog" but that isn't working.
I have a form which has a combobox (cmbactiveproj) and a textbox (txtProjnameupdt). By selecting any value on the combobox the textbox changes accordingly. The user has an option to change the txtProjnameupdt.text and save.
Note: the text stored in txtProjnameupdt is part of the value in the combobox.Then I refresh the combobox by calling the datasource;
This reflects and changes that have been made i.e., the combobox gets refreshed.and the change made can be seen on the combobox, and selected by the code below.
But when the user inserts an 'apostrophe' in the txtprojnameupdt.Text and save. It all works fine... But the selectedindex on the cmbactiveproj is BLANK.It ONLY happens when an apostrophe is used if I dont use an apostrophe it works fine..
Am just wondering if I'm doing something the long way round, so I thought I'd bounce it off the forum for opinion. I'm using the following code to write the contents of three text boxes into a table in an access database. [Code]
During testing I noticed that when an ' (apostrophe in words like can't) was used in the text boxes it would cause the app to halt. Figured that it was due to the ' being interpreted as a command so I could replace all of the ' in the text with a "unique" character before writing it to the database, so then when it is read back I could re-replace the "unique" character with the ' so the user sees what they have entered.
My question: is there a more efficient way of handling this ?
I have a code in VB that looks like this:'Server.Transfer(txtUser.Text + "_page.aspx")which is taking a forms authenticated user to their page. For example if John logs in, it will take him to john_page.aspx.How will I be able to integrate this in a PHP login script?I'm trying something like:header("location: $member ._page.php");but I don't think I'm doing this correctly.
I am trying to filter fields in a table that contain percent (%) and apostrophe (') characters. I kow that to filter an apostrophe you need to add another apostrophe (''). However, when a text contains the percent (%) character in combination with an apostrophe (') character, an exception is thrown. Also, when using the % character in a filter string, it will be function as an "*" (fields starting or ending with). I need the % to be considered as a character whenever the % makes part of a string in the field. How can I address these issues? [code]
Cannot work out for the life of me how to match the apostrophe in a regex pattern in .net, seems to be different in .net than any other implementation of regex where you can just use '
Also tried matching "x27", "'" and "''" all with no success
why the rowfilter property does not work if there is an apostrophe in present in the string. For e.g. , tempdat.DefaultView.RowFilter = "Mystring = '" & st & "'" the above does not work if st="mystrings's" under the column header Mystring.
I have the following update code which works fine. However, it prompts an error when apostrophe (') is used in txtdesc.text. For example if you type name's , the error message will be.. Incorrect syntax near 's' Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ".
query = "UPDATE dbo.TblProjects SET ProjectDesc ='" & _ txtProdesc.Text & "' where ProjectID='" & _ txtProjectID.Text & "'" cmd = New SqlCommand(query, conn) cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
