Checking A String Contains A Value?
Jul 7, 2010
I am trying to figure out how to check a string can contain a certain value.In the begining I had a checkbox and wanted to hide a ceratin field depending upon which checkboxes were selected.The problem with this is that the value is always = to the first value.
I got around this by writing these values into a hidden textBox and using a loop.So now I have a textbox and if the user selected the 1st and 3rd choice the textBox would = "AC" If they selected all choices it would = ABCD etc...How can I determine if the values in my textBox contains just letter 'B' ?
I tried this:
--------------------------
Dim values As String = [String].Empty
For Each item As ListItem In section2List.Items
If item.Selected Then
[code]....
but this doesn't work.

If Double.Parse(list_numbers.Item(i), possibledouble)
list_numbers is a list of strings
list_numbers.Item(i) = "0.000"
possibledouble is a double
debugger returns "input string was not in a correct format"
i thought that the double parse would convert the string into a double format of "0.0" but it gives me an error.

So I basically want to make sure that a string entered by the user is valid. Valid being over 10 characters, containing only upper case characters, and only characters A - Z and spaces. The first two were easy, but I'm having trouble with the third, though.What I originally attempted to do was create a loop which checks if the first invalid character is present with the InStr function, by using the characters ASCII value. The next ASCII value is then checked, and so on until it has checked the string for every single invalid character. If an invalid character gets picked up, 1 is added to a variable, and after the loop is finished executing, if the variable is no longer 0, invalid characters have been detected.

how find an object's type when it is a subclass of another object and I only know the string value of the object's type's name.
I created the follwing classes:
Public Class word
End Class
Public Class noun
[Code]...
Using 'TypeOf', I correctly see that pn is a properNoun, a noun and a word. The problem is, using 'GetType' to check pn against a string value, I can only see that pn is a properNoun, not that its parent classes are noun and word.
Is there a way to check pn against the string value "noun" or "word" and get back a positive result, indicating that pn is indeed a noun and a word as well as a properNoun?

I am working on a program that will take in a string of length 7 containing either R,G or B for the colours. The program will then check that the string if 7 in length and if it contains any other characters than R, G or B then it will be invalid. I created this code but when I enter the right string length and characters it always gives me the error for not having the right string length.
Private Sub get_cars()
Dim Letter As String
Dim valid As Boolean

Not so long ago, I saw somewhere a solution how to check if string is date in yyyyMMdd format (i.e. if it can be converted to date if written in such format). I can't find it anymore but I think is had something to do with DateTime.TryParse method but I can't get it to work. I can get it to work if string is in dd/MM/yyyy format, but dont' know how to make it with yyyyMMdd format. If I'm not mistaken neither of DateTime.TryParse method parameters is for assigning date format...

I have two user controls that need to add a class atribute to the body tag of my page, however they currently over write one another if I just use Body.Attributes.Add("class","value") So I need to check if the class attribute exsists and if it already contains the value Im going to add.
If Not Body.Attributes("class").Contains("value") Then Body.Attributes.add("class", Body.Attributes("class") + " " + "value") End If
EDIT: The contain constraint doesnt return the expected value, resulting the the class not been concatinated, Example: add class "dog" then I a different instance of the same control tries to add "dog" but the contains("dog") returns false

Basically, I have a list of dates in a SQL table with some statistics next to each of them. I want to compare the dates in the table with a certain date I choose. However, my dates in my table are stored as Varchar(50) (and have to be). Apparently I can convert the date in the table into date type but I don't know. Does anyone know how? My current code can be seen below.

I have a form which contains a checkbox field. On page load I want to create a separate checkbox for each customer in my Database. The code I have to create the checkboxes for each customer works fine. However, I also want to check in the database if the customer is set to unauthorized if they are then I want to check there box. I also have code for the case where the user checks a box. If a box is checked I update the database setting the unauthorized attribute to true. My problem is when I check a box it works fine and the box is checked, however if I reload the page all the boxes are unchecked. So either my database update is not updating the database or the way I check on page load for checked boxes is incorrect. Any ideas?
The code for the asp checkbox field:
<asp:CheckBoxList id="check1" AutoPostBack="True" TextAlign="Right" OnSelectedIndexChanged="Check" runat="server">
</asp:CheckBoxList>
The Code for the page load:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim sql As String = "SELECT Name, unauthorized, ID FROM Customer ORDER BY Name"
Dim dt As DataTable = db.execDataTableQuery(sql, "Customer")

I am trying to check whether a row is getting inserted into my database. It is throwing an error even when it does insert (it's a database issue that will get resolved later when I get a newer version of Microsoft Access), so I can't check whether the insert is successful based on whether there's an error or not. I think I need to check the AffectedRows of something, but I'm not sure what. I've been looking for info on how to do this but I can't figure out how to make it work for my exact situation. Here's a general idea of what my code looks like:
Protected Sub Wizard1_FinishButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.WizardNavigationEventArgs) Handles Wizard1.FinishButtonClick
[Code]...
But the numInserted is coming out as 0 every time even though the insert is successful. It may have to do with the fact that myIns1.ExecuteNonQuery() throws an error even though the insert is successful.
-EDIT- I discovered that the "duplicate values" error is because it is somehow attempting to insert the record twice. I have no idea why it's doing that though.

The following line of code gives a warning with Resharper: 'Comparison of floating point numbers with equality operator. Possible loss of precision while rounding values.'
Dim samples() As Single
If samples(i) = Nothing Then
samples(i) = _mPreviousSamples(i)

I've been wondering how to do that for a while. (I never really needed it so far ). I wanna make e.g. a simple alarm script (waits for 6.30 am and makes a beep). The only way I could think of it is make a loop in the main function which loops until 8 hours later. Is there any other, more civilized way (probably event?)

In my application i have set a reference to an activeX component that has been written in vb6(that's not important) What i have done is Here (woo my first hyperlink i hope it works lol) But this is neither here nor there, what i would like to do is put a check to see if the object that has been assigned the activeX component has been assigned it. What i can think of is:If myObject Is Not Nothing Then'set some other stuff End If
The only trouble is, obviously i have an error. Over the Not Nothing I have the following error: 'Is' requires operands that have reference types, but this operand has the value type 'Integer'.Is the type 'Integer' at the end there refering to the Nothing being an integer -1 or 0 and i'm not sure how i would reference the type active x.my question: How can i check if the activeX component is an activeX component and not a whisp of thin air/nothing.

I am trying to make a form that is connected to all my systems at work, this form will not be doing much, it will have an image representing each system, all I want the application to do is if one system is down, the image will turn into red, and if its up, it should be green, to be more clearly and make it simpler, I want it to be linked to more than one destination, each time one link goes down, its image changes to red, and that it. But the problem here is i dont know where to start from, specially that I don't know how to link and get a true or false for the connection!

The following piece of code executes a SELECT query and places the result into a textbox, but if the query returns nothing an error appears saying that there is no value and it won't continue the lines of code after it. (I modified code I found on a website after a Google search, I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it but it seems to do what I want.. so far)
[code]...
How would I change the code so that it checks the query to see if it returns a result? I'm still not too sure what the SqlDataReader can do fully, so I'm not sure if it can check for a result.

what the following code is ment to do is generate a bunch of numbers between 1 and 49 using the while loop to check if two of these numbers are the same. Problem is two numbers are still being generated the same and I know that the numbers generated again will not match them originals so it stops the loop.
