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.

im trying to create a program that will convert between metric and standard units.I chose length as my measurement so i have nanometer,millimeter,centimeter,meter,hectometer,kilometer,inc,feet,yard and mile.i wanted the input to be
- number to be converted(text box)
-unit number is in(combo box)
-unit to convert to(combo box)
i know how to do combo boxes,buttons and labels and stuff.The output is the converted number this is what i have so far but its soooo wrong?
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Convert_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Convert.Click
Dim Inch, Feet, Yard, Mile As Integer
Dim Nanometer, Millimeter, Centimeter, Meter, Hectometer, Kilometer As Double

I'm looking for a fast way of searching a textbox containing plain text mixed with coordinate values.These coordinate values may contain no decimals or 4 decimal places after the decimal.I'm somewhat familiar with regex, but my uncertainty is the actual number of characters in each word will be different.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have an example of standard text (in Hex form) in a specific encoding (selected by the user). And I have a weirdly encoded text which is in the same encoding but a little different. How do I convert the Standard to the encoded Hex?
Cyrillic (ISO-8859-5) Example:
## 12 91 BB BE BA B8 C0 2E 20 CD BA C0 B0 BD B0 20 B8 20 BA BB B0 B2 2E <- ALTERNATIVE
B1 DB DE DA D8 E0 2E 20 ED DA E0 D0 DD D0 20 D8 20 DA DB D0 D2 2E <- STANDARD
Diff. from Standard (in Decimal): -32

I have written one application which communicate with one data logger unit (temperature monitoring unit) and download records after some interval. Unit continuously send current temperature which I have to show on screen and after each one hour I have to download log (all records saved inside unit at max 1024) from unit.
Now problem is after downloading log, application get hang or what we called working in background and resume after some time. If I pause debugger in visual studio 2008 it show control at application start (sub main) with message as "application will resume here after completing execution of current function". There is nothing in output window. So how can i trace is there any events got spool or what actually application doing in background.
Does anyone have a nice sample of a unit convertor handling multiple unit types that I can integrate in my application? I have found this one, but it is only handling one type of unit. For example I want to convert weight as well as volume from and to imperial units.

View 1 RepliesI usually use standard button and do the settings like causevalidation etc if required.
i decided to use toolstrip and inserted some buttons but end up that it doesn't do the validation for control and also doesn't call leave event of textbox control.
so my question is, anyway to use regular button functionality for toolstripbutton or there is a way to add regular button on toolstrip.
I am trying to add a TabPage containing a UserControl to a TabControl at runtime, because the number of TabPages to add are determined at runtime.
The UserControl (objDataInfo) is just two Textboxes, two labels and two Radiobuttons, nothing too exciting...
The TextBoxes have their Anchor properties set to Left, Up, Right so they scale with the width of the usercontrol.
The TabPages are added in the constructor of the form, which takes the number of tabpages to create (n) as an argument:
vb.net
Dim cList As List(Of objDataInfo)
Public Sub New(ByVal n As Integer)
[Code]....
So... How can I get the standard BackColor of a standard TabPage?
(I tried leaving out the usercontrol all-together, but the TabPage still has a gray background...)
Write a program to convert a U.S. Customary System length in miles, yards, feet and inches to a. Metric System length in kilometers, meters, and centimeters.

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.)

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.
1) Can anyone post a link or tell me the differences between these versions of VISUAL STUDIO please? >>
Standard, Professional, Team Suite, Team Foundation Server Standard & Team Foundation Server WorkGroup Edition
2) I imagine Team Foundation Server WorkGroup Edition is the most expensive and therefore has the most functionality?
3) Are there any others I have not mentioned?
What code can you use to get the unit in a currency?
For example in 10,340.55 there is:
10 units for a thousand.
3 units for hundreds
4 units of tens.
1 fifty cent
1 five cent.

I have been assigned a task of exploring unit testing using tools available in the market.My question is how do i write an API that would help in writing unit test cases.Example i can use nunit to write something like this to check whether file exists in the given location.
<Test()> _
Public Sub CheckOutputFileInfo()
ReportPath = "D:temp est.txt"
[code].....
So when that code run the program don't switch.Say I want to
Open a file
Write something
Close a file
Way when I open a file, another thread want to open that same file. That means open a file get executed twice.
When i perform unit testing on routines, using the unit testing framwork provided by VSTS, i need to get a output of the unit test and result on to a document (documentation). how do i do i do this?

View 4 RepliesI really like the moq mocking framework. I've used it on several projects. Unfortunately, one of my customers is demanding we use VB.Net. Not my preference, but hey, .Net is .Net, right?I've heard that moq has some trouble with VB. Is this true? Is so, what sorts of trouble? I would expect it to work fine given the language agnostic nature of .Net.
Should I look into using some other mocking framework for use with VB?
