Check If A Character Is A Valid Key?
Jul 22, 2010I need to check if a character is a valid Key (type) in VB.NET (I need to turn "K" into Keys.K, for example). I am currently doing this to convert it:
Keys.Parse(GetType(Keys), key, False)

My form has a texbox where user enters an ID. IDmust be4 chracters in length andof the form: begins with either "E" or "e" and the next 3 chracters cannot be "all characters".
Example:
E102 - corect
e3ff - correct
[code].....
I am currently coding a tabbed web browser. I am adding a bookmarks function, but this stupid error is holding me back from compiling. I believe the code is flawless, but yet it says that a period is an invalid chracter [Code] The period in the SelectedTab.Controls is the one causing the problems, and I have no idea why.

View 1 RepliesI have a streamreader that is reading a file that has the possibility of having the contained information being separated by either a space, a semicolon or a comma, or even a page break.How can I check for all those things and then place them in a array?'I know this is the way to check for one character, how do I add on to this?
arrDataHolder = txtDocument.Split(CChar(","))
I have a txt file with a few settings that get loaded into the Program. These are put into an array. As the array holds different types (int, string, dates etc) its set to object type.
What i am trying to fingure out is how to check the date is a valid format, by returning a false value so i can have a msgbox pupup and say the date in the file is invalid. I cant use isdate() on the string from the file as even if the date format is correct its a string not a date type so i have to convert it first (which is the point it throws an error).
I have an VB.NET application. This Application is permanently resident in memory and minimized to the tray area because we use it very often. The problem comes in when we VPN into a client's site. These VPN connections trash all other network connections to and from our machines.Then every time my VB.NET application refreshes its database, errors start occurring, because the machine has lost connectivity to the SQL server, however, these are not at the connection level, but only when the reader attempts to read.
I am checking for connection.open, but because of the SQL connection pooling, I just get a previous connection that was valid before the network was cut. Is there anyway to check if an actual SQL connection is valid, prior to re-issuing a connection from the pool?[code]...
After I send a post request to login to a site (using httpwebrequest), how do I check if the login is valid?
One way to do it is to read the whole html using
dim reader as new streamreader(response.getresponsestream) dim str as string = reader.readtoend and then check the html for any unique string (e.g. "log out"), to tell if the login is successful.
But reading the entire html is too long, so how do I shorten the process?
I tried
Dim str as string = response.getresponseheader("Set-Cookie")
But str is a blank string.

View 8 RepliesLooking for the best way to determine if a URI exists in VB.NET without downloading the actual content. System.IO.FileExists/My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists can be used locally to determine if a file exists, is there an equivalent for the Web?
Currently I am using a HttpWebRequest to check URI existance using the ResponseStream. This populates the stream if the target does exist and throws an exception if it doesn't. The function is being expanded to also check for PDF files (typically 5MB +), images, etc and it will be a waste of time/bandwidth to actually populate the content into a stream.
In the case of "Success" (the target does exist) I do not wish to download the file or page, simply to end up with a Boolean which indicates the whether something exists at the end of this URI.

View 8 RepliesSometimes when backing up an sql file using phpmyadmin (database stuff), for some reason it forgets to double up a single quote, resulting in an error when loading the sql file back into the database when required. A line in such an sql file looks like this;[code]As shown in the example, phpmyadmin did double up the quote in "you're" as it should, but it forgot to double up the one after "27", resulting in an error.As you can see it's like this (*value*, *'value'*, (and so on) but beforehand I can;
A) Never know how many values are in such a string
B) Can't simply split the values by "," because the value itself can hold a comma aswel.
It would be easy if every value was like this; *'value'* because then I could split by " ', ' " but that's not the case, and I also never know what location the values not enclosed in single quotes are. I also can't simply double up all single quotes in the entire string because then it will also double up the ones that are enclosing the values, resulting in an error during upload again.So yeah, what I need to get done is single out all the values with regex ($1, $2 etc.) and then string.replace single quotes in those values but *only* if said single quote is not preceeded or followed by another single quote, else it would become a tripple quote resulting in an error again.
How to deal with a "date bug" that I have encountered in my program. Here is a scenario.
1. My system has a locale of en_US and therefore displays the date as MM/DD/YYYY
2. My program tries to import from a csv file in which it carries out tests on a field to check for a valid date before loading the rest of the data.
3. If the date in the file is in the format DD/MM/YYYY the test fails and therefore the data is not loaded. This is the bug.
I would like code to test for the date string in the csv file that will recognize any date format (locale).
I create an empty boolean array check_state(), and then if a condition is met later in the script, I redim it and save a list of check box states as booleans into the array, and later check the array values, but I can't work out how to do this without causing an error if the array was not defined to begin with

1) I recall seeing a really cool option in VB.NET using LINQ to match using "LIKE%'
2) I know regular expressions will work and I suspect that will result in the shortest code and probably won't be too hard to read for such a simple test.
Here's what I did.
Private Shared Function FileNameIsOk(ByVal fileName As String) As Boolean
For Position As Integer = 0 To fileName.Length - 1
Dim Character As String = fileName.Substring(Position, 1).ToUpper
Dim AsciiCharacter As Integer = Asc(Character)

I am trying to check if a users input contains any special characters from a list, does anyone know who I would go about doing this?
I've tried the LIKE operator:
Dim sMatch As Boolean = tTitle.Text Like "[-/,.:;*?""""<>|&'[]^%£$()_+=!#]"
but doesn't seem to work, i think special characters are used for settings.
Is there a RegEx i could use for this??
How would I check a given string for the presence of any match with a character listed in another string. I'm just looking for a binary result.
In other words, how would I write the VB.NET function called IsPresent in the following code snippet?
Result = IsPresent(AnyString, MyTestString)
For example, if MyTestString = "XYZ" then I want the following results for the given AnyString values:
MUTTON, Result = No
BUZZ, Result = Yes
HAPPY, Result = Yes
FISH, Result = No
How to check the Single byte character (e.g. English) and Double bytes character(e.g. Chinese) ?

So, how can I check them and output with more readable pattern ?
