Declare constants for all numeric values in the two formula above. The variable used to represent the number of meters and the numeric constant 39.37 must be declared as the data type double. the constants and data types in the first formula should be declared as integers. Convert the Total Inches in the second formula to a Double data type before using it in the calculation. Set Option Strict to on in your code. (Hint: After the number of meters has been determined, the maximum number of kilometers can be computed from Kilometers = Meters/1,000. Next, the remaining meters can be determined from: Remaining Meters = Meters - 1,000 * Kilometers. The number fo integer meters in Remaining Meters then can be determined from: Integer Meters = Convert.ToInt32(Remaining Meters). Continue with the same technique to compute the number of centimeters.)

how to convert a metric unit to standard. I will be converting Feet/Inches to Meters/Centimeters and vise versa as well as pounds/ounces to kilograms/grams and vise versa. I can input the values into my Textbox to where it reads " x'y" ," however, when I go to code the Convert button (the same button has to be used for all conversions) how to separate out the text and then perform the conversion.

I'm facing a major problem with a Deployment Project I created to install one of my applications.I am using the ENGLISH IDE of the Visual Studio 2008 - even though my end users will have German environments. This is why I set the
Localization = German
Property in the Deployment Project's Properties. The UI of the generated setup is German, so all's fine there. However, the setup installs the ENGLISH .Net Framework. I have not found any way around this.The problem are at least twofold:
1. An English Framework on a German PC might cause instabilities.
2. It's a big flaw to see UI inconsistencies (i.e. the UI and Setup of the application is German while the NET Framework shows certain elements in English, e.g. the DisplayName property of cultures)how can I get the project to install the localized .NET Framework?
I want to simulate a way to "force" the ASC function to use the english codepage, even on a system having the "language for non-unicode" different than English.[code]On a system having "language for non-unicode" set as English, currently the result is 140..On a system having "language for non-unicode" set as Slovakian, currently the result is 79..The twist is I CANNOT user AscW (for reasons I cannot disclose)In the particular example above I would need for the code to always return 140.If there's a way to force the whole program to use the english code page I could work with that as well.[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a small program, which I think will be helpful to others(in here). My aim is to convert the English text shown in screen to Malayalam. English-to-Malayalam conversion is not a problem. But the problem is, how to extract the text from the screen. In most of the converter/translator, the text needs to be copied or written down in the translator tool. But my program will cut off that part. That is, simply move the program window (having a rectangle hollow portion) to the English word that needs to be converted. And upon pressing a button (or autodetect), the English word is converted to Malayalam.
So, my question is how to extract the English text(or words) from the screen (which is seen through the hollow portion of the window.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm trying to do.
my teacher gave me this text document call english.dic.... it has 196000 words or maybe more. can anyone know how to do if i want to run the program, i can choose if i want uk english or us english. at the moment i have this button1 and listbox1.and when i press button 1 it would list all the words.

this is my code for button1 and listbox1. can i use a radiobutton and select uk english or us english and only those words will be shown at listbox1? or there's no way i can do it cos it depends on the file already?

I am using Visual Studio 2005 and am writing a SSIS package. In the package I have a VB.Script that looks at a directory on a server and creates a list of the files. I then have a store Proc that looks at a table and gets a list of files that matches the files in the first array. The result is a fullresultset. The next step I need to create a 3rd array that only contains the rows from the first that are not in the second. However, I am getting the following error. Error: The script threw an exception: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object' to type 'System.Collections.ArrayList'.

I am having a bit of an issue and would like some opinions. I have a settings class that I use in my program that gets passed around to various pieces of the program. When the program exits, the settings class is serialized out to an xml file. When the program starts the settings class is serialized back from the xml file.If the program doesn't find an existing xml file, the defaults in the class are used and a new xml file is created when the program exits.This all works well. Here is a trimmed down version of my settings class:
Public NotInheritable Class UserSettings
Private _Length As Double = 10 'feet
Private _Name As String = "Inert Material"
[code]....
The problem that I am having is that if the program units are metric, then the default values are always converted in the constructor and the xml serializer then stuffs the values that exist in the configuration (over writing the converted default value which is what I want) into the proper properties. The reason for this behavior is to make sure that that new properties that don't exist in the xml file have a proper default value when metric units are required.
It seems wasteful to convert all of the default values every time when working with metric units? Is there a better way to do this? My full class has currently about 15 default values that need to be converted to metric equivalents. Ideally I would only like to convert values that haven't come from the xml file.

I am making a program that calculates various results with variables entered by the user. What I am trying to do is incorporate a function that will allow the user to switch from metric to imperial easily but only when the ok button is pressed. Now I got all the coding done for the metric and everything is working fine. My problem is when I use the radiobuttons to switch the entered variable in the text box to the desired unit it gives me a 0 or a random number in the textbox...
I also have labels indicating each variables unit which I easily managed to change with the text box using this code. :
'Change Labels to Metric
lblMDegreeC.Text = "Degree C"
lblMDegreeC2.Text = "Degree C"
lblMmm.Text = "mm"
lblMmm1.Text = "mm"
lblMmm2.Text = "mm"
lblMm.Text = "m"
lblMm2.Text = "m"
lblMm3.Text = "m"
lblMDegreeC3.Text = "Degree C"
I created all the coding to convert the metric variables to imperial. My problem is changing the textbox text when the user switches the units during run time. The labels change without a problem but the textbox never works. I have attached the coding for the file.
